Not sure if this has been covered but I couldn't find it anywhere. What are your ideas for the feet, and scrotum of a cape buffalo. I have seen the bookends from feet, and am considering a purse/bag out of the other, but just wanted other ideas before making any decisions. Thanks for any ideas and pictures!
 
a friend at work used an elk scrotum as the shifter knob cover for his truck.

Buff nut sack into a shot shell bag! I didn't keep it but my PH took it to make on out of it. Having book ends made out of the feet.
 
ive heard of that sort of thing , hmmmmm each to his own . good luck and l hope what ever you do with em works out a treat ......
I asked my wife if she wanted the knacker bag from her giraffe so then she could own 2 sets , mine and the girraffes .if looks could kill , mate .id be pushing up daisies .....
the 6 skinners thought it was funny, but.....
 
Be o.k. mate -but what parts of hers do you get? I bet the look would be the same.

already got the freehold on them good bits ,kman, the only part of her anatomy that im buggered if I can work out is how her mind works !!!!
 
Yeah - If you get that figured you won't be skippering a boat anymore!!!!
 
Feet - Ash tray - book ends - Do all 4 to make the legs on a end table, bar chair or foot stool.

Scrotum - Pencil holder - Bottle holder - coin purse - just have your insulated holder to fit inside.

Tail - Fly swatter
 
Jee wiz guys... You make a sack to hold your balls. ...... No, no, no......... golf balls!
 
And I hear golf balls make for great fun target shooting with a .22.
 
My Dad used a buff scrotum to hold nuts on the coffee table. My Mom while thinking it was a clever idea thought we would be viewed as to uncouth so it was never/hardly used. Something like this might be a conversation piece in that new trophy room K.

When I was a kid I had a couple that I kept marbles in. Am I dating myself? (This idea probably doesn't help much these days.)

All the best
 
I made lamps from the forefeet, and a container from the scrotum, which you can use for pencils, or whatever you like.

Wheels; Thanks for pulling this all this together for me... When it comes to hunting Africa, my dear wife not only thinks I'm losing my marbles, but she seems to be a little concerned I'm going nuts as well!

I'll let her know you have the perfect solution for keeping it all together.. .Now just gotta go get a buff with big enough equipment!

Having recently secured my first Cape buffalo hunt, I have been thinking about this a bit lately...

I was planning on a good shoulder mount, with some cool things like ammo pouches, wallets, etc. made from the back hide.

I have had the nut sack tanned from all my Giraffe. It's just too big not to use! I'll probably do the same with the buff. I kept the feet and legs from the Giraffe too for table legs. I need to take a look at some lamps, etc. made from the buff legs. I'm not sure just how many buffalo I'll shoot... they're a bit more expensive than the bargain Giraffe that I've been picking up, lol.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
