Frank also you might want to check with him about his choppers. You will have to decide how to show case his cutters and wethers ( top teeth for you Yankees). On a mouth open pose the cutters can be flared a tad, mouth closed pose they need to be flared more to get out of lip. Most wethers are left as is. However on a Bare Hog with long cutters, they usually are left alone. Final option you see a lot of is if the hog had broken teeth or large sow, the taxidermist can put fake ones in. A vast majority of southern wild ferral hogs are from the Essex gene pool( spainards brought them) with longer and narrower cutters unlike a belguim or russian hog mix that produce heavier tusks at the bases. So point is if you use fake, i would suggest not to put fake russian teeth in a ferral ( black or spotted hog) or it would look...well...hokey....my hog above was true Ferral Essex. The kind our grandfather's father grew for lard. Unless you have been biten by a hog or the hog you killed bit you, the open mouth pose is a very un-natural pose IMO. Although hogs can and do bite, the hooking of the cutters is their business not running at a hunter with their mouth open......But un-natural as the open mouth may seem to me and others...i agree with most, it still looks cool!!!just my 2 cents

Here is a pic of a boar I arrowed about three miles from JoeBu cks boar. Mine only weighed 270.

Now I'm almost wishing I'd have shoulder mounted the one I shot at Curtis' last summer. They're ugly, but yet so cool looking.

Having a hog mounted in your house has "Redneck" written all over it.  I have a Javie hanging over the computer right now.  Chad
