We did two whole pigs for a hunt themed event a couple of years ago.  We 
took our "pig roaster" in the back of someones truck and I picked up the two 
pigs and put them on ice in my car top carrier.
For the "presentation" we put eyes of radishes, an apple in the mouth and an 
arrow through its head.  We placed it on a foil covered sheild we borrowed 
from one of the fighters garnished with greens and had it marched in through 
the hall.  Servers followed with platters of carved meat from the other pig. 
  The 'trophy' was made in great spectacle of presentation and laid on a 
small table set in front of the head table.  It was great fun!
