Black bear full mount price

[Dans Taxidermy]

Just wondering if there is an average price out there for full bear mounts, I have a customer who wants a 375 pound bear mounted to include an open mouth and a base. Thanks ,...Dan

it is priced on the pose and the size $2000 to $5000 it may fit the first time or you can spend a week getting it to fit. and the base can eat up a lot of time.

$500 a linear foot.

[Hughiam]

Up to 5ft $1650. 5ft-6ft $2,000, 6ft and over $2,250.00  Base work is Extra!!!!  A good rule of thumb is 30%-50% more for a base.  I farm out my wood work and then do the habitat.

1800 for the bear plus the base, you can spend alot on a base, depends on what the guy wants.

I just did my first LS bear two weeks ago. What a blast, I learned a lot, thanks to Jim and everyone, and can't wait to do another. 8 days and had to cut my form into 22 pieces to get the right size and a good fit, but it turned out great. Take lots of measurements and measure again. Test fit and test fit again. I charged $2000, and he made the base.
Have fun Jim

Sounds like I need to revisited my prices as I suspected.
