Black versus blue wildebeest rug

Does a black wildebeest make a good rug like the blue wildebeest? It appears people generally prefer the blue as I can’t find pictures or info online about black rugs.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Also, besides zebra and blue wildebeest can people tell me what other plains game hides make good and decently durable rugs?
I actually have a blonde Wildebeestrug to go with my zebra rug
 
People often say the same and more regarding the taking of Zebra. Even some hunting friends said "You shot a Horse??" lol
I've had a couple of opportunities to take a zebra and have passed each time. I would get a lot of grief from family and friends if i did, and there is an "up close and personal" farm with several zebras on it and the neighbor's kids would think that's where I got the one on the wall. I'm getting older and no longer care what others think, so on my next trip to Africa, it's likely to be on my list.
 
there's one not too far from home as well, but i smile and stop to watch 'em when i have time. it just makes me miss and appreciate Africa more (like a hunter going to the zoo. I've gone to zoos to study game animal anatomy in the flesh! like Fred Bear et. al.) 'Just refrain from shooting the holy grail: the Fruit Stripe Gum Zebra! Disney would get upset.
 
fruit stripe gum lol I know Wrigley was big, but uncertain if worldwide?? He def funded the sugar estates!!!

I think Zebra are pretty common in Africa and they are amother game species that the industry hunt to make the world go round.

My regret is not buying a cheap Zebra skin at the airport to bring home.
 
surprisingly my wife asked me to shoot a Zebra for my last trip, she wanted a shoulder mount for the wall and the back skin for the couch

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
