Bear Processing and Taxidermy

[Jgebb]

I have never shot one but passed on several. I am in Union County who processes bears in this area? Is there a place to donate the meat if I didn't want some or all of it? What about taxidermy cost? I would like a rug made of the bear. I never shot one because it seems like it would be expensive and difficult to deal with. Trying to get a handle on what the costs would be.

A rug is 200 a on a average some if your is 5 ft it cost you a 1000 Buck's

McClure’s is closest if you’re in Blairsville

I'm figuring you meant $200/ft? I did have a nice pelt done this past year (2018 kill) of a bear I took in Maine by a fellow in Kentucky for a VERY reasonable price. I will share, ONLY by PM my guy's ph# if he says I can.

Here's a link to that post/pics:
