Bear hides???

[Camper]

I'm looking to get a couple of bear hides done into rugs (Hopefully if we shoot them)

Just wanted to know of some good places to check out for this in eastern ontario?

What kind of prices should I be looking at?

Well I had a 6.5 foot blackie done as a rug with a backing, and it cost 1300 bucks. But thats Yellowknife, where prices are whatever they want to charge. We have a serious disease here called "no competition". So being that there is only one of everything, prices and collusion are rampant.
I would imagine that in a place where a taxidermist is in close proximity to another, the prices would be more reasonable. The nearest one to here is about 1000km.

$150 / linear foot seems to be a commonly quoted price in Alberta.

Look up Whitetail Taxidermy in Carp--you won't be disappointed--he's reasonable but not cheap.
