Buffalo hunting horn.

[JeffG]

Hello all!
I am new to the forum, but not ml'ing. I have been out of ml shoulder arms for a while. Great forum! Thanks for having me.

I decided to take delivery of a Sitting Fox smoothbore .54 cal kit. It will give me the versatility I need in the hunting woods. I got antsy and decided to make a powder horn for hunting, from a bison harvest from earlier this year. Thanks for looking. Irondog

That looks nice! :thumbsup: How much does it hold? Also that's a lot of meat in the freezer!!

 

[JeffG]

Thanks! It holds about three-quarters, to a whole pound of powder. I wouldn't fill it for field use, probably leave a half-pound in the can safe and dry. Once it's properly beezwaxed, I will trust it more.

Ya the buff went 900 lbs. I don't have the wall space for a huge trophy, and I wouldn't shoot the balogna bull for eating. :thumbsup:

don't even think about using any kind of power tools on buffalo unless you're outdoors and upwind... as my kids would say,


EEEEEEwwwww!

Here, and I thought that (power tools) was a good attribute..............keeps the wife out of the shop, it does.
