A few friends of mine have purchased green hides from the Inuit while working up north in small eskimp villages. (Canadians) They then had them tanned etc for their own trophy rooms. Seems to me they only paid a fraction of the hunt cost so don't expect to get much return on a hide.I think the Hudsons Bay Co use to purchase Inuit killed bears and rug them up for the tourist trade. I saw some in Banff a few decades ago that were priced about the same as a new pick-up at the time.
