Thanks, anybody know a good taxidermist to get a rug done and how much are they typically I know they charge by the foot its about 5' my fish/ deer guy wants $800-$900 seems like a lot.

Seems high, I got my full body done for $1000 but that was 12 years ago.

[jay83196]

I agree I figured 500- 600 but that probably low, anybody else have thoughts on it, or recommend anybody to do it.

[Boar]

Your looking at around 100-115 a ft. plus tax. on average maybe 125 high end. Talk to muthagoose he might no somebody to recomend. We both know someone for a mount but im not sure if she dose rugs. id trust her with a mount tho. I just donated her a head for shop display an am waiting for the skull. Next mount will be thru her. Later boar

looks like I missed my bear again today, pulled the sd card and checked it after i hunted today, he came in again at 9am just like on 9-01, I knew I should have hunted the mornings.

Tomorrow is my last day I am able to hunt bear for the year so I guess I will be getting up in a few hours to go sit in tree for the whole day or until I see the bear.

Wish me luck, Hope to see a bear at least this year.

[Matt Breuer]

HAha, boar, I love how you've resorted to describing the pictures to us! Good luck, sounds like a good one to take care of...

Nice bear, Jay!

I think my taxidermist charges $113 a foot, which isn't bad. He also gives guided bear hunters in our area 10% off, which is nice for guests. Your taxidermist possibly splits the tanning and stretching/tacking process up and charges that way? I've heard of that too, and it usually runs up in that $900 range.

LOL! It boars story book time withpout the pop up pictures, man thats funny, resorted to describing the pics.
