Alaskan Nrown Bear Mount

I'm trying to sell a full size Alaskan Brown Bear mount. I've checked with the Mininsrty of Natural Resources and the Minstry of the Environment of Ontario to ensure the legality of the sale. It turns out since the bear is not native to Ontario it is subjet to the laws of its native state/province. Does anyone know if I can legally sell it in Alaska? Or if I can transport it in the US? It comes with hunting license and the sealing information.

The bear came from a Natural History Museum that closed. The bear was given in exchange of back rent. Now I don't know what to do with it. Its appraised a 40,000 CD, but I don't know what to charge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is illegal to sell Bear parts in Alaska

& you will have to check with the individual state you plan on selling it to if it is legal or not.

The worth of the mount has alot to do with the Quality job the taxidermist has done.
A mediocur or bad taxidermist can sometimes make a valuable skin turn into a piece of junk that would not sell at a yard sale.
