Here is some ideas of what can be done with unused leather from your hunt. The following are example of work done in Grahamstown. Perhaps you guys in the states can get a leathersmith to do something similar. All the hides are veg tanned. It a great way of making your hunt in Africa last forever!

Very nice looking work
 
Wow, I really like that cartridge belt!
 
I keep coming back to this idea and having things made from the skins. All of your items are awesome. If I am successful I will have an eland hide. Do you know how much skin is needed for these items? I also saw a nifty rifle strap with the pelt (if that is the term) inlaid in the leather. Does anyone know how much is needed if I wanted to have a jacket made? Any leads on artisans would be appreciated.
 
Hi Pheroze

My guess would be that you could make a few jackets out of an eland hide. I don't know of anyone that makes jackets but gun belts, cartridge holders ect I would contact Andrew Wolff of Alpha Belts +27828201947 or alphabelts@gmail.com
 
Terrific, thanks.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
