    Boar eye

    My mate shot this boar and wants to shoulder mount it. We are unsure if it's doable with the infected eye area. Any thoughts on whether this is a right off? in the freezer at the moment.

    Man he's lousy, in a couple of hours they'll be gone though stay clear till then
    The eye won't matter, it adds character

    good looking pig...any half competent taxidermist will do that just fine.
    pig lice....why singeing them is so popular in certain locations...not much chop for mounting afterwards though LOL. actually that WOULD look hard case... @Billbob take note...reckon a 60-80lb sow would look great too

    Yep if your wanting to get him mounted, go for it. Definitely adds character to have a one eyed boat, eye may even clean up to have two, if not ask for half price discount for only use of 1 eye haha

    Having a singed pig mounted, would looks like one of those furless cats you see from time to time. They look like nature forgot to dress them .. haha

    I think it would be sweet with one eye!!
    A lot of “famous” US hunters will shoot really big wapiti that are really broken and then have a taxidermist add all the broken points back…seems absurd to me.
    Keep it one-eyed mate.
