Title: Average cost to rug a bear
Post by: t6 on July 20, 2011, 10:30:40 PM: What is an average price for a good quality bear rug? I may have an opportunity to score a bear this year. Been seeing two regularly and have some friends asking me to come up and take two others off of their properties. I only need one to make a nice display at the end of my bed but concerned about how much I have to save before taking the bear.

Thanks,

T
