Hawkruiz6 Report post Posted October 7, 2018 I just killed my first bear , I am looking for some phone numbers or taxidermist to get it done, just need a ballpark price of what it would cost to make a rug out of my bear, any help is greatly appreciated , thank you ! If the rug is too expensive even just somewhere to tan it would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mlemieux Report post Posted October 7, 2018 I paid a $1000 for mine, but that was like 5-6 yrs ago. Still haven’t seen my rug yet. Definitely check references. My guy was Kip Love, but he fled up to Utah 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colthutton Report post Posted October 7, 2018 I paid about 1200 from Chris Kruger of Kruger creations. I would not reccomend him even though he does do decent work. Told me 1yr it took about 3 I'll never use him again but I would reccomend Mike Vaccaro fro Ahead of the game taxidermy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 7, 2018 $1000-1500 is probably average for a quality rug. Find someone reputable. It's not worth saving a little bit of money to have your hide ruined or take 4+ years to get it back, ugly mount or worse never see it again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted October 7, 2018 Husband and wife Dan and Gail are located in Tucson... They have done more than a dozen animal mounts for myself and family... usually an 8 to 9-month turnaround time on rugs... always a fair price with half down and the rest payable when you pick up the finished mount... Give them a call I really don't think you'll be disappointed....... https://www.tbasix.com/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted October 7, 2018 Plus one for A Head of the Game and Mike Vaccaro ! He's done all of my work since I moved back here 23 years ago. Zero complaints, great looking mounts and I get my stuff back in about a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
