Say you shot a black bear here in OK and wanted the fur from it...what would something like that cost to have done? I'm sure it would depend on size somewhat but surely there's a "ballpark"?
Did a rug last year for a 6.5'+ black bear my son killed in Alaska......done right, with open mouth, double felt and good D rings to hang it.......at least $1000. Shipping these hides is very expensive!!
A smaller bear will be a bit cheaper, but not much as the work is not that much different for a 5' bear than a 7'.
Thats about what I heard...they said it was $1,200 to go from bear to rug. I REALLY wanna do one of those "Bear Man" jackets like the dude wore in True Grit. Idunno if that would make it more or less haha.
