x3. It is so much easier and you get a large majority of the good meat.
X four - the only thing you're leaving is the ribs, and there isn't enough meat on the ribs (of wild hogs) to mess with.
If you want to Euro mount your hog, cut off the head, boil it (outside), get all the meat you can off it, and put in on a fire ant hill and let nature take it's course. When all the meat is gone, go to a beauty supply and get a gallon of peroxide that women use on their hair, put it in that solution a few hours, then put it in the sun. And presto, you've done you're own mount.
If some of he teeth come off, put them back on with two part (clear) epoxy.
