Wife Says This Is Ugly

My gosh! That's a good looking pig! For sure. I can wish my first one will look that good.

Considering the pig was armed you'd think she'd be greatful you got it. I'm probably over 500 miles away from you and I'm grateful you got it! She thinks it's ugly, so just wiggle it tween a couple of others and maybe she won't notice for a while.

David you rascal. You should put a plywood panel on the back of your recliner and mount the head right above your head. When you are asleep with your mouth open and your tusks showing Tina can see how well that sweet piggy really looks.

It's ugly rockpile, from her point of view, but its a darn impressive trophy of what must have been a scary hunt if you were on the ground with it. Its hard to tell from the mount how big it was, but the tusks are really impressive. I've never been able to afford the taxidermist fees for a mount like that, but if I could,I think that we'd find a way to negotiate where to display it. I'd want it to have a prominent place, but we'd probably settle on my gun room... our spare bedroom.

if she's anything like me- I DO NOT want to walk around my house having dead animals looking at me!

yea, I know its a furry souvenier of an awesome experience- i just can't handle the guilt!

I've killed a couple of small hogs for meat, but your use of a muzzeloader on that boar is impressive to me. I have a ''herd'',''group''... whatever you call it... that frequents my property. The sow is about 300lbs. She usually has 6 or 7 piglets with her. I've only seen the boar a few times. He looks to be about 500lbs. I'm not into trophy hunting because I can't afford it, but that hog would be a trophy for someone. I shoot blackpowder quite a bit. I reload for a Trapdoor Springfield Model 1873 in .45/70, & a Sharps Model 1873 in .45/110. Blackpowder firearms interest me!

I think he's cute! I like his markings.

Yeah I like the mounts of the bi-pedal hominids in the background. They look so lifelike.

Are you sure she was looking at the boar mount when she said that?

Very impressive trophy! I have been told that the area where I go hiking has a bunch of razorback hogs. We have only seen sign of them once, I hiked the next mile or so with the .40 untied. I think I would rather hike with bears.
