Hi there I am looking for some plaque shape/size ideas for a Warthog I shot in RSA last Year. I've already decided on Railwood, as I think it gives a nice contrast.The shape of the skull relative to the plaque is what has got me asking questions. | ||

w2 I wanted this one very simple and tried doing it "as it is". Bleached & complete. This is what it looks like in my study ...  I like it and it is the cheapest taxidermy job I have ever had done! Johan | |||

I like what Bahati did, you don't need anything but the skull, they set nicely on a table top. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Cut your wood out in the shape of africa like I did. A short dowel into the back skull and a little time with the dremel tool is all it took. | |||

jshoney, That is a good idea, but I think you could set that "hawg" on top of anything and it would look good! Dang that's a big piggie! Same goes for Arild and Bahati. | |||

Thanks Wendell, As you know, being from Texas, every animal on a typical Africa plains game hunt could be taken right here in Texas EXCEPT the wartie. It was truely my top priority in South Africa and I couldnt have been more excited to see this one running toward a water hole. When anyone sees this one trophy, they know I have been to Africa. | |||

Great warties guy!! The wife convinced me to have mine shoulder mounted, but the next one I get (if I'm fortunate enough) I really want a skull mount.  DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Why can't you can do both from one animal. It's my understanding that artificial teeth in the shoulder mount is preferred to avoid splitting. "Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult." | |||

You could use the reproduction tusks in the skull mount or the shoulder mount. There is not too much of a worry with splitting of the real tusks if the hollow is filled with firberglass resin, epoxy, etc.. | |||

Shhhh! My wife may hear and then there goes one of my excuses for another trip.  Actually I never thought about that. I will see if it's too late. DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
