[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1216735, member: 9675"] Doing the skull mount myself. As for the meat, I was puttin a bullet in their head and piling them up... but that gets to be a big pile of pigs. I found a buyer down here now, so I sold the last bunch. Pays for all my corn and gas and a little cold beer.
