My taxidermist gave me a call the other day to tell me that my warthog was done. It's funny that it's the one I chose to mount first as I had no intention of shooting one. Then after I did take one, I had no intention of mounting it...just wanted a Euro!

Anyway, I'm very happy with the result. Mount was done at Orion Taxidermy here in Sask.

Awesome Warthog, cant wait to get my own.
 
Nice pig.

Like the eyes. It is like you can tell that it is trying to see something and can't.
 
One down, the next ten to go....
 
I hear ya, I have a lot at my taxidermist yet, will send pics as I get them
 
You will probably find that most of your non-hunting friends will be more fascinated by your warthog than anything else you've shot...even if they are monster record book animals! That has been my experience.

One down, four to go....at the rate of about one per year! Lol. To get to ten, I'll have to get back to Africa somehow!
 
Excellent work... That red hide looks like a Limpopo River warthog..
 
Nice pig, quite symmetrical tusks.
 
Nice pig, quite symmetrical tusks.

Saw lots of them with broken tusks. This guy isn't huge, but I agree with you on the nice symmetry. Thanks.
 
Beautiful mount, it looks really nice!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
