European Mount

[Hopalong49]

Grandson just shot a huge hog. Any recommendations for someone that does the head European style?

Are you wanting to pay someone to do it or do it yourself?

Skulls Unlimited is in OKC 1-800-659-7585 and does a great job, but I don’t know of anyone around Tulsa. I’d say Google taxidermists in your area and go down the list.

If you want to do it yourself, get a decent size non aluminum pot that the skull will fit down in and propane fish cooker, and your going to definitely need some kind of degreaser with a pig skull. I use sal soda, but I know others use oxyclean. Simmer the skull until the meat loosens and spray it off with a nozzle on a garden hose. Some use a pressure washer, but in my opinion, that’s more than should be needed and an easy way to damage the skull and lose teeth.
