We each had a Ruger No. 1, 375 H&H mag. If you look at the pics, closely, mine has a black recoil pad, and my son's had a red one. It was the only way we could tell them apart. ;D maddog |

Are you mounting any of them? I bet that Hippo would make a killer euro mount

We are doing the two cow cape buff as a euro mount on a plaque. My son is having the hippo tusks mounted on a wooden plaque of the african continent. Also, he is having a footstool made out of some of the hippo hide. Nothing can be done with the elephant, because tuskless cows are non exportable.

Well I certainly enjoyed it and am sure others will. 2 hrs. is good, it would have probably taken me 2 days. LOL

Probably should have done this a few months back, but I forgot. Here is a couple pics of what we did with the trophies. I don't have a pic of my son's footstool, but here is what I did with my cape buff head and what he did with the hippo tusks.   His hippo was absolutely huge, and my cow cape buff was a big ole girl. ;D Maddog |
