I recently got a call from my taxidermist about a hog mount I was having done, biggest pig I had ever killed, 320 lbs w/ 3" tusks top and bottom. He said it had a few bald spots where the hair fell off due to a bacteria that starts growing as soon as the animal dies. I had never used this taxidermist before and had heard a few things after dropping off the pig. Is the bacteria reason true, I had never heard of this before, or is there some other cause for this to happen ? Any input is greatly appreciated.
