CHECK THIS OUT

This is a photo of the Cape Buffalo my brother-in-law shot while in Africa. He had the horns mounted for his trophy room in his house and also had the skin sent to him as well. I am trying to convince him to cut me a piece of the skin so I can use it on my solo seat. How big of a piece will I need? Any ideas?

Thanks

Is it a solo seat? or a 2 up?

Should be safe in getting a 36" X 36". Get ya' some extra skin for error.

I would think it's a one buffalo job. No need to send your brother-n-law back for another.

That was his 4th trip to Africa and he finally got his Cape trophy. He hunts all over the world and has shot just about every game you can think of. Ironically, I am totally against hunting. Oh well.

Totally against hunting? I would bet there are times when you're just partially against hunting, like right before you slam into that deer on the highway. Or right after the deer and wild hogs have completely eaten your garden. Oh well, to each their own.

Cool Kill, that will be a story he can tell for a long time :up:

I'm not agaisnt hunting as long as you do something with the kill. Or it's because they are over populated or just a nuisance (wild hogs).

Mounting the horns, check. Shipping the Skin Check. As long as he gave the meat to some needy African village then Double Check!

Totally against hunting?? I'd like to see if they ever eat a hamburger or have ANYTHING leather. A complete vegetarian better not even have leather shoes for God's sake then.... Hunting HELPS keep disease, overpopulation and starving in check! It's also why there are more deer in the United States now than when Daniel Boone walked here!!

I think CoachK is just against killing the animal, not using its attributes once dead. If you really think about it, everything we use is based in one way or another on the death of an animal. Gasoline for your car comes from oil which is a fossil fuel, electricity is produced with coal (another fossil fuel), plants are grown with soil fertilized by millions of dead animals remains, natural gas is created by the decay of animal remains, etc., etc. I think its impossible to be a true vegan if you simply exist as an animal in this world.

Sorry, how the hell did I get on this rant. Guess I just get a little frustrated at some folks who don't understand just how much good hunters do for the conservation and preservation of just about every animal and ecosystem on the planet. I personally am a big hunter and enjoy the time spent in nature with my friends and family as well as the meal provided by a challenging foe.

As for your seat, Coach, go hunt for a nice wild hog and sit on some football pigskin And if you offer your brother some money for that skin, he may be a lot more apt to help a brother out. Those damn trips to Africa are incredible but incredibly expensive. Don't even want to know what it cost to have that skin shipped back to the states. If you do get it, I'm sure we'd all love to see that mofo on your K-9.

Best of luck.

If it will help lower the price of gas, I''ll start shooting fossils today

I live in South Florida so I don't have any run-ins with deers or hogs but I have occassionally sped up my truck to squash a possum or 2..

I should have known I'd get beatup on this one...

My B N Law had all the meat from the buffalo donated to a nearby village.

Hey, I didn't kill it and he killed it with one shot. He did the right thing after the kill so that justifies my seat.

:up:

you are against hunting, but you want the skin for your seat. ye-right!:2thumbs:

I love it when people are totally against hunting and when you go to there house for dinner they are cooking burgers, steak or fried chicken. I have to go verbal. Well guess the KFC talked the chicken into suicide eh? Poor cow had to shoot himself huh? Or is that a Toe-foo ribeye? It's just 2 friends and it's there wives. I do not give them a break. When they come to my house they bitch about my trophies that are mounted on the den walls.

Give Coach a break. You can be against hunting and still eat a burger. You don't "hunt" cows, chickens, pigs, ect. Their farm raised for human consumption. I love to hunt and to each their own. Before I take up for you too much, you're not a member of PETA are you? I didn't think so.

I don't think most people realize how dangerous those capes are. Congrats to him. I would love to make that trip some day. I know its a trophy, but what would he plan to do with the hide anyways? Mount the horns and use that hide for your seat. More opportunities for him to talk about the hunt.
