Warthog Taxidermy Pictures

Have to agree with Bjorn here. Hard to beat a skull mount for a Warthog. It just looks the way it should.

+1. Full Skull Mount is awesome.

I have the Warthog hide as well - a true Pigskin. On top of the pigskin I have a Javalina skull and a Texas Russian Boar sitting on it. All of it digging right under the Warthog on the wall. It makes for a good looking trophy set!

You can also consider using the warthog tusk as a knife handle. A friend of mine gave me an Arno Bernard Warthog knife - just fantastic!
 
Here's a couple pix? love this wall!

Finished up my skull mount. Tore apart an old pallet, reassembled and cut out an outline of Africa. This rascal had some dental issues. We thought the upper left tusk was broken off but it was stunted and grew on the inside of his mouth

It turned out great Jasper!
 
That's a new one. Incredible trophy.
 
Unique mount for sure, I need to find a nice warthog some day.
 
Jasper, did you fill the tusks with epoxy? Only asking because I clean a lot of skulls every year and filling the hollow teeth of warthog, bear , boar etc helps keep them from cracking down the center. BTW , that is a neat dental issue . Of the 2-300 skulls I've cleaned I've only seen that once on a hog. Nice job on the plaque. I'm a fan of the distressed wood look.
 
Nice job! Great looking way to show it off!
 
Nice work thanks for posting
 
Very nice. There is always something special about creativity,
 
Thanks for the kudos guys!
Jody, I did not fill the tusks but will. I had not thought about them cracking. Thanks for the tip!

Melt candle wax into them also works.
 
I also like to fill any hollow teeth with 5 minute epoxy.
 
Actually that's really cool..
 
Carved warthog skull.
Saw this on FB- look it was pretty cool.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
