G'Day Guy's,put a post on the taxidermy forum looking for some help. I have two bushpig full mount capes. I was going to turn one into a shoulder mount but the skins are way to good.So I am looking for ideas on how/should get them done.thanks for your ideas in advance

Why not felt back them and make flat skin rugs? Might be easier to make suggestions if we could see pics of the skins.

Here is what I did








Hope it helps.

I really like that mount Aziz. I remember you posting a photo of it before. I like some life sized mounts like this without a base. It looks like your pet bushpig is taking a nap!

That mount is just way too friggin' cool! I love that mount. Thanks for sharing.

I like that , that gave me an Idea when I get my Pig ( I Hope ) . Who did it . I leave in August.

Hey Aziz
thanks heaps for that. That is a fantastic mount I could combine this mount and one standing behind it maybe but this is a really good mount i will show it to my taxidermist. Thanks once again

Aziz

You should put that mount next to your entry at home and tell people, yes pigs make great pets. This African one is a trained guard pig, one word in Afrikaans and he will attack and subdue any intruder.

Nice mount, but after having them sleep on my bed I'd never be able to pull the trigger on one....cute little buggers.

DAM CHEF, I have be accused of sleeping with some pigs before BUT i would not admit to it in public

LOL-I've got the video to prove it They are pretty cool animals when tame and young an absolute hoot to watch. My 6 yr old daughter isn't too fond of them as one stole her shoe and when she got it back the bugger had eaten one of the bells off it.

way cool. a bushpig is like a klipspringer or Bontebok. you shoot it for the the full body!definately. An if you got 2 get one laying down and one standing over it.Or 2 feeding on a carcass like an impala if you have spare,if not come back and collect some more spares
very cool mount though
