    Flattening the horn

    What is the ideal type of oil? What temperature do you propose, and how long should the horn be submerged??

    The Boertjie and the Bison

    I tried consciously to use hand tools only. Seeing that the horn is North American in source, I used a non "exotic" wood from an American perspective. For the staple I stuck to simple mild steel wire.

    The Boertjie and the Bison

    It is finished, and the sling can be attached, now I only need to figure out exactly what. I think maybe something that may goes with my possibles bag.

    The Boertjie and the Bison

    The Boertjie and the Bison

    Here is a progress report. This horn reminds me of an union, it has many, many layers.

    Kodiak in .58

    Kodiak in .58

    Thanks, I keep that very well in mind with more than just Cape Buffalo. I have seen more than one of them hunted with pretty sizable calibers in the past. Most of the time it is amazing the amount of punishment that they can take before they go down. I have on DVD footage of an American Hunter...

    Kodiak in .58

    Thanks guys, that is solid advice. I got mine together with the REAL by LEE, in 430gr. Cast me about 160 of these, and will go and test them this weekend with FFg. Any further advice will be greatly appreciated.
