Out of plain curiosity, how much would it cost to have a bear trophy set up as a rug?

Thanks jorge!

I sort of figured the cost would be around one thousand dollars (USD?) I could hope the figure was in Canadian Dollars...

It seems just about everything now costs about a K.

$125.00 per linear foot is a good measure in the taxidermy industry. That should come with the open mouth and backing.

Good luck!

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)
