Got my skull mount back
 

I took my most recent boar to the taxidermist to have a skull mount done. He called me yesterday and said it was ready. So I went and got it today. I'm please with how it turned out. A few of the teeth are missing because he said they were rotten and basically disintegrated during the boiling process. It still looks cool IMO....

What did he score-just curious

I like Euro mounts. I'm going to attempt to do one this year.

Score? How do you score a hog?

Very Nice!:cool2:

I have to say, that looks pretty cool!

*I wanna go hog hunting* :D

Thanks fellas! Now I just need to get a nice buck to hang up there next to Mr. Boar. I'm working on that right now...

Those are nice mounts.

Those look very nice.Dave:happy0001:

Both nice mounts!

Nice hog.

I have done butt loads of euro mounts. Actually, that is the only mounts I have, deer or hogs. I would have had a piece of his butt for not fixing the teeth. He basically boiled it hot, too long, or simply poured out the teeth and did not recover them. Either way, it is fixable. It also looks like he didn’t bleach it properly, or didn’t seal it right. Looks like you are going to get lots of oil leech which will start turning the skull yellow and blotchy. Especially on the lower jaw. Hogs are about the oiliest skulls ive ever done. More so than even a bear. I just hope he cleaned the mylohyoid canal. If not, it will start to stink and the mandible will get real yellow. Also, I hope he sealed the teeth. If not, they will start to split in about a year or so. I would not take another skull to that guy if I were you. Just my 2 cent. H

Please don’t take this as criticism on your behalf. It is a great hog and the mount looks great, I would just be a little concerned on how it was done.

This skull is over 9 years old, notice how it is not yellowing. Well it looks like the top is a bit, but that is just a shadow. And the tusks are still together.
