That's a fair price for a good hunt. If you're looking for a hog to mount, don't wait for teeth. Shoot a good looking hog even if it is a sow. Some of the biggest boars break their tusks fighting.The taxidermist doesn't use the actual teeth in the mount. They have a whole replica mouth that is used for the open mouth mount. Make sure and ask for the competition mouth. It looks much better.The teeth are hollow and usually split after they dry out. Often they are filled with JB Weld and mounted on a tusk plaque or put on a necklace. Look at their work first before you commit. Phillip of Bull Swamp Creations has mounted hundreds of our hogs and won state competitions with his work.
