Very nice. I like how it isn’t sprayed one shade of grey
 
Great mount. The tracks on the back add an unique touch.
 
DAMN!!!!! Youre Good well done, warties can quickly get screwed up, that warthog is very natural looking alive I almost want to shoot it again to make sure it's dead.

The only comment I can give and it's mostly because cleints want their warties to have have massive tusks is to actually seat them as they should and not pull them out a bit to make it look longer.
Yours is tackfully done where it only takes a good eye to see that the dark black ivory is actually next to the lip and inside the mouth.
I have seen some mounts where the black/dark ivory is pushed so far out that there is a white line before the lips where that part of the tusks was actually sitting inside the tusk cavity inside the mouth.

For monster tusks better to show them off on a plague and if you still want to mount them I'm sure an expert like you could copy fibreglass ones for the mount.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
