LAST EDITED ON Mar-01-09 AT 03:03PM (MST)[p]I'm looking at the invoice for my sping 07' bear I had rugged. I took it to Kodiak Taxidermy. Price was $170/ft or $14.16/in. You can do the math for your bear, mine was just under $1100. I'm not a bear expert, but I'd estimate a big Idaho black bear at 6' plus, medium size probably 5'-ish. The rug price may go up if you do a poor job skinning and your taxidermist has to alter. I was a little shocked at how pricy it was to have a bear rugged. I didn't shop around much comparing rug prices, however, I will say the bear I got back is probably the best looking bear rug I have seen.
