Thomas "Ty" BeahamTaxidermists doing Warthog Rug Mounts ?
I saw a warthog rug mount several years ago at a trade show and thought it was an unusual concept. Since then I have lost that particular taxidermists business card and have come up empty handed via web search. Does anyone know of a taxidermist doing these rug mounts? Thanks, Ty

L. David KeithTy, I'd say most any experienced studio could do a Warthog rug. I had my Bontebok made into a run with a full head mount. Very unusual but unique. It shows the full beauty of the Bontebok's hide. David

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

GraftonTy, David is correct that most any experienced taxidermist should be able to put this together for you. I see you are in AZ. Contact Mary Hilliard-Krueger in Phoenix AZ. Her husband can mount the head and she can do the rugging.

Mary Hilliard-KruegerHey Ty,
Haven't been on the site for a while and just saw this. Shoot me a PM if you need a local rugmaker. I have been in the industry making rugs for over 22 years.
Kind regards,
Mary
