🐻 Bear Rugs
Bones & Hide Preservation offers black bear rugs with a closed-mouth or open-mouth mount. Many bears arrive frozen, so I may not be able to provide a firm price until I have received your bear and begun working on it.
The prices below are estimates based on a 300 lb black bear, not firm quotes.
| Bear Rug Style | Approximate Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Closed-mouth mount | $1,800 |
| Open-mouth mount | $2,200 |
These estimates include fleshing, preparation and tanning of the hide, along with basic black felt.
Approximate return timeframe: 6–10 months.

📜 Important: Outdoor & Harvesting Documentation
For any animal that requires an Outdoors Card, it is mandatory that you provide your Outdoors Card number and TAG number before processing can begin.
If you cannot locate your TAG ID, you can visit any Service Ontario location to retrieve it — all records are stored digitally. No exceptions.
If you hold Indigenous Status, your Status Card number and the method of acquisition must be provided for all animals submitted. This applies to all species.
