A while ago I had the privilege of hunting with my father, he shot a Warthog sow at the time and on inspecting the sow, saw what looked like a pair of double left-hand upper tusks. I initially thought that she had split the tusk length wise and over time it worked off into what looked like two tusks.
Back at camp I had the tracker boil the scull to retrieve the tusks. To my astonishment I found that it was infact two seperate tusts, each with its own root canal. Has anyone maybe ever seen something similar with Warthogs before?

Cool, thanks for sharing!
 
Never heard of that one before.
Unique trophy.
 
love the odd ball trophies.
 
That's pretty cool.
 
Never seen that on any kind of pig !
 
The only thing like this I have herd of is I shot a wild boar in Tx that had a tusk stuck in his snout. Not near as neat as this. Cool animal!
 
Very interesting and thank you for sharing!
 
Way too cool for sure. Love the stuff with extra character.
 
The older I get the more I appreciate weird.(y) The wife says its introspection.:unsure:
 
I love the weirdos. I guess they remind me of myself.
 
So cool it may grow icicles. I might just start going for odd shaped trophy's from now on.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
