Very cool looking Question on those long cutters. Was that the length naturally sticking out? I have been told that the tusk/canines go back into the jaw bone and can be pulled further out True or

Yea they are sticking out farther than they should, in my mind it looks better but it's not actually how much was sticking out when I shot them. But it does make for a good conversation and they look good in my book. Hard thing is to get them glued very well

Cool. I have seen some that were Camo Hydro-dipped that looked cool as well. I would like to try that sometime.
Did you epoxy the inside of the cutters? You may know this already but the cutters are hollow at the base and are easy to break if they are not filled.
If you ain't hunting, you ain't living right.

Yea I epoxyed the cutters but they are still hard to keep from cracking, I went little different approach this time on the pig as for what I used and I also covered the outside in the areas they seem to crack with a white clearish nail clue to see if it keeps it from separating
