Got my mount back from my Loshbough trip last April. Here's what you guys can expect. They used the plastic tusks due to the fact that the originals tend to get brittle and break with age. I had them send the originals back with my mount, so I would be assured they didn't try to exaggerate tusk length like alot ot taxis do. I think they did a pretty good job!

Yep! Likelike Taxidermy did the mount. Rocky and Sandra were great to work with, and did everything they claimed they'd do. After seeing the one they did for you a couple years ago,,I had no inhibitions about them doing this one.

nice looking mount, but they could have made the tusks and mouth area look a little aged instead of brand new looking....i've never seen a hogs mouth that clean....................bob

Bob, the WVA dentistry has greatly improved over the past coupla years. Even mine of 3 years ago got a brite new set of falsies!!! If you notice, even the originals in chief's hands show signs of pretty good dental hygiene!! ;D

Chief, that is a fine looking mount! The potential of having Mrs. Berks allow me through the door with one of those lovely creatures posed so realistically would be slim and none.
