Don't know if this picture post will work but here goes! Shot in TX last week. Hunted on AR Forum member's ranch (thanks Wendell)!

Another spottie just like guess'! Haven't seen a lot of that pattern in California for about the last 10-12 years. And curly, too. Nice munchin' piggies.

30ott6,

Nice pig, pretty good tusks too.thumb They look to be about 2 1/2" out of the gumline. Not all porkers get nice teeth, hope you kept them.

Good job on the hog. I asked Wendell if you two had been successful when I was speaking to him last week before heading out hunting myself. As others have said, finding the ones with the long teeth can take a fair bit of both luck and skill, and you should be proud.

Did Wendell skin the head out for you? What are you going to do with it? I'm thinking about a paperweight for my desk from a much smaller boar I killed earlier this year (I was the only one on my block skinning out a hog head on the front porch around New Year's).

We dropped the head off at Wendell's taxidermist. I am not sure what I will do with it. Thinking of having it sit on a table below my Warthog shoulder mount.

Sorry we did not get to meet you while in Dallas. SBT and I had a super time and are hoping we can return next year.

I spent all day Saturday (during the DSC) waiting for a repairman at home. Hopefully next year my calendar will be clear -- unless I am hunting, which was my back-up plan this year as whitetail season is still on in the first part of January.

If you are having the skull cleaned, there is a place that bronzes them, and they look pretty good (at least on the website).
