I am also a "huge conservationist". Hunting is an important part of conservation for many species (lion, elephant, etc.). People that say otherwise are either poorly informed or promoting an agenda.
It is odd that a new poster would sign on to an obvious hunting site and ask about obtaining a mount of an animal that was not taken by a hunter.
And to top it off the OP asks about potential illegal actions! Maybe this line of inquiry is well intentioned - but maybe it is not. It smells rotten to me.

***It's pretty difficult for me to figure anything else too!!!

i don't have an ax to grind with anyone. upon searching online i was simply looking for a place where i could ask questions about acquiring a rare piece for my collection.
name me a taxidermy forum with feedback and community involvement -like this website- and i will take my questions over there.
most people who hunt have mounts, so it makes since for me to ask a legitimate question about acquiring a particular animal on a hunting forum (which i have done). if your wife had herpes and you were dumb and a total ass clown, but wanted to conduct your own independent research, would you not solicit help from a medical web forum?
thanks however to those who've positively contributed to this thread. insofar the information has been incredibly helpful and most of my questions have been answered.
i'm just going to continue doing research and look for more brokers/dealers that are up to speed on this kind of thing.

Taxidermy.Net is a pretty good site. They have a section for people looking to sell items and to buy items. You can register for free and do a post on a polar bear. Not sure what you'll find though. Full mount polar bears aren't the most common item. Even when they were hunted without restrictions, not many people got to take one due to where they live. I'm willing to bet that 90% of all the polar bears ever taken were made into rugs and not full mounts. Not many people have the room for things like that.
Well, except for the wife with herpes.

I heard that having a wife with herpes gives a man a passion for collecting exotic trophy mounts that he didn't kill for himself.
I mean, what else does he have to do in his spare time?
Let's ask BLOFLY. He should know.
