Javelina/Hog teeth - 02/14/19 02:32 AM
Went hunting and shot a javelina and a hog.
Not for sure if I’m gonna do a European mount on them, or just try to save their teeth.
Do any of you know a fairly easy way to get the teeth out with out breaking them?

Let the head rot for in a bucket of water for a couple of months, away from the house of course. The teeth will pretty much fall out on their own. If you wanna do a Euro, skin the head first and do the same thing. All the meat will come off on its own. Easier than boiling IMO. After its done, a soak in strong hydrogen peroxide from the beauty store will bleach it, sterilize it, and deodorize it.

May give that a shot.
Thanks.
Will soaking it in water that long turn teeth white, or will they retain natural color?
Just dig a hole and bury it. Wait a couple months and it will be cleaned up bone dry.

No. They don't turn white. They stay about the same color.
