SUS choppers

[Homebrewer]

Whacked a Sus boar last month with my *** 6.8 using 120SST's.
Range approx. 125 yards in Erath county.
Finally was able to pull the boars cutters and get them cleaned up. Pic below..

SUS #5

The inside set of cutters were taken from the photo'd boar.
Still need to figure out what to make from the choppers.

Have a neck knife made to fit inside the tusk.

Got some more that were (OAL) super long. 2/3rds of the length was inside the jaw bone.
A 44mag rd is in between them for reference. These came from a 193lb boar and they eventually went back into the skull/head mount. --- pruhdlr

Great idea - The caps make a nice clean connection to string or add to a neckace.
Could you tell what/how you made the tusk caps ?

Great cutters on that ol' boar! Congrats! Another option: split one length wise and inlay it into a knife handle scale set... split/inlay the other one into a leather sheath for the knife.

I stuff the cutter with duc seal (?). It is a black moldable substance kinda like nutty putty.
I have a friend whose wife makes stained glass windows and jewlery. She forms the caps to the contour,then solders a drop lip on it. She adds a small ring to the top also. The cap is held in place by some super adhesive that she uses on jewlery.
She can make these out of nickle or sterling silver.
I wear these cutters to Waffle House every now and then just to gross out the snowflake waitresses. --- pruhdlr

Added info about the above skull. - - ->
At about 80yds,a Barnes 85gr TSX coming out of my long bbl 6.8 @ 3100fps,hit the hog on the back left of his skull. The bullet was found in the front right sinus cavity.
I never would have believed that a hogs skull could absorb this much energy and not just explode. --- pruhdlr

I read some folks used a hot glue gun and twisted wire inserted in the cavity to make the top ring... another guy mixed JB Weld to fill the cavity.
Just wasn't sure what would work best for a metal cap.. Appreciate your feedback - and keep after the snowflakes, ya gotta keep'em off balance!
