$110 - $150 is really cheap for a bear rug.Some taxis charge by the foot and some have a flate rate when charging to tan a bear hide. I charge $55 per foot to tan a bear hide.
That is there price just to tan the hide. You still have to pull the skull. Split, turn, and salt the lips, ears, eyes, and nose. Plus pull the feet and toes down to each claw. Then flesh the body and salt 2 times. Then dry it hard.
