[JGH]

List some of the less common types of trophies .... for instance, what about using tail hairs for a bracelet, or hat band?

If I get a giraffe, I’m going to have carvings made into the femurs.

Backskin pillows? Would that count as unusual?

 

[JGH]

Pillows, furniture.

Share them all ... photos?

A pair of knives from a warthog I shot. My son got the other one:

A rifle case made from elephant trunk:

Just be very specific with your requests. I asked for an elephant femur and was shipped a pair of bones from the forearm. Basically I paid a ton of money for something I didn't want.

My outfitter had an ice bucket made from a hippo foot that was rather strange looking

Got a bobcat in 2022 with my recurve. Had a trading company make a traditional bobcat arrow quiver with it. Opening morning of 2023, I got another bobcat with my longbow while using my bobcat quiver. Something different than a mount or rug.

Bears and otters also have a baculum like coons. I kept the one out of my brown bear and cleaned it up and use it to stir/mix drinks. Works great.

I like what I’m having done with my backskins.

Gives new meaning to "Shaken, not stirred".

Sorry - had to say it.

My wife liked an Africa shaped plague with this on a smaller scale. Very nice option to use leftover skins on.
