    Simple unique tusk display

    The nice thing in taxidermy is you are only limited by your imagination. I usually just paint the filler so it blends in and isn’t noticeable but…. I’ve called them in leather, you could have a silver smith cap them, there is all kinds of things you can do. Just keep in mind with anything...

    Simple unique tusk display

    Also if the tusks are older you may see that the bottoms are hollow unlike the ivory tops. It’s very common for these to crack and or completely split (NA feral pigs and Eurasian boar are the same way on both tops and bottoms). If this happens don’t worry you can superglue them back together. I...

    Anytime buddy. Taxidermy has very few secrets and most things are a common simple fix. Believe it or not YouTube is a great reference and I look for better or more efficient ways to do stuff all the time. I am always glad to answer questions on anything anytime. You’ll find a heck of a lot of...

    How Much do You Shoot Your Big Bore?

    I tend to shoot and use my big bores quite a bit here at home. Aside from general fun shooting I use mine as backups on bison and Waterbuffalo hunts on my place. I’ve killed several things over the years with mine and though unnecessarily over gunned, I occasionally hunt deer and pigs with mine...

    Very interesting news from Chad

    For me it’s a moot point. I’m curbed stateside for a while until I get at least 1 kid out of college, but one day. The adventure for me is worth the risk.

    Simple unique tusk display

    A highly guarded industry secret. Hot glue :eek: I do that so if he ever wants to mount the warthog, cast an extra set of tusks, get scrimshaw done in them, etc…. They can be removed and there is no damage to them.

    Range days sometimes go poorly...as in Ka Boom!

    Man I’m just glad you are ok. Mistakes happen and inevitably will. The main thing is you weren’t hurt. We had an ex swat commander that became our range master several years ago shoot himself in the hand taking the slide off a Glock. Scary deal and thank God he was ok. His pride was hurt more...

    One of the biggest things I see is that, as been mentioned before, you’re essentially paying for some features that you don’t really need. Let me preface this with I am certainly no African hunting expert and there are guys here that have spent more time in an African toilet than I have on the...

    Taxidermy help... How bad did I mess it up?

    More than likely you are fine. There might be stuff possibly move around on you or minor cracking or separations but I doubt you did any really damage. All of that is easily fixed. Hell with some pieces I take them out and shampoo them with a taxidermy detergent after mounting them and they’ve...
