Canada (AB)-black bear skinning cost

[JoeA]

Hi,
I have a flyer from Burnt Lake Outfitters in Alberta. What's an idea of the cost to have a bear skinned out (for a rug)? I can ask the outfitter, but I'd like to get a second opinion from some of you seasoned & experienced nuts. I'm asking at this point, for planning purposes. A spring bear hunt seems like a fun thing.

skin it out yourself ...not complicated at all ...its part of hunting ..i paid $ 250 to have mine done at the taxidermist ...

The butcher I take mine to skins it out. For skinniing, butchering and wrapping, about 110.00. Ok by me, seeming as though they did it for me in 2 hrs while I wait.
