I love warthogs and they are so fun to work on.

Love it, can't wait to see how mine is going to look. :)
 
Nice contrast of color as naturally occurs. I always think a warthog should look like it just rolled out of bed. They are real characters.
 
Put it in the window on Haloween. Kids won't bother your place for candy!

I like the dirty tusk look. Very authentic.
 
Very nice
 
VERY NICE mount . . . and of a species that many taxidermists get . . . uhh . . . "less than right". The front face and the rear face of a warthog's tusks are different and as the photo was loading, I was already keen to see if the tusks were correct and they are. I've seen numerous mounts even by "museum quality, award winning taxidermists" where the tusks were in backwards (the LH tusk on the right side, and the RH tusk on the left side). You've also positioned the tusks correctly and not pulled then way out in an attempt to exaggerate their size.

It would be difficult to find a better warthog mount!

Thank you very much and I completely agree with what you are saying. Warthogs for whatever reason give a lot of people trouble. It's about studying reference photos and attention to detail.
 
I'm with you Gizmo, I also love working on them. Look, smell and feel different, mounting seams easier. Can hide all the issues better. As a Canadian, we do not do many swine, don't have the issue you guys do. Something about mnts and snow.

More great mount pics.

Good morning. I'll take all of them actually. Whats the next step? Thanks, Derek
Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?
