For Sale Cape Buffalo Bull Shoulder Cape

[SkullKeeper]

If anyone is going to SCI and needs a cape for a buff bull shoulder mount please let me know. I’ll be at the SCI convention in Nashville and I can bring it with me. $300
Here’s the bull ( I got this buff in Tanzania in 2019)

 

[Justbryan]

Wet tanned, dry tanned, dip & pack- ready to be mounted or needs to be tanned?

 

[SkullKeeper]

Just salt folded dry … needs tanning

It’s a Westley Richards in 450#2 , made in 1905

Both are very nice.

That’s a fabulous gun. I have a WR DR in 577 NE close to same vintage

Maybe some more angles or pictures of the bulls head and face

a side profile big Roman nose cape would be nice

Just FYI - when we spotted this bull he was facing dead away feeding - the PH saw the horn width and said to shoot that bull, so when he opened up enough to give me a little rib cage I took the shot(entered behind last rib and lumped up under the skin of the opposite side shoulder). It was upon walk up that the PH realized he was still a bit young… too late for CPR then. I tell you all this just to forgo some of the “you shot an immature bull” comments (I’ve been accosted on another site already about this). I was told always listen to the PH so I did. It was my first time hunting buff so it was what it was.

looks like you had a successful hunt in a beautiful place with a fabulous firearm. i cannot imagine how any normal, healthy human being could accost you or criticize you for anything. i am envious of you

That’s a fine bull. Pay no never mind to the dimwits. Most of them have never actually seen a live buffalo.

 

[Altitude sickness]

He’s got a lot of character on his face. And a nice Roman nose. Would make a nice mount

Beautiful cape buffalo and you were right to listen to your PH. Good luck with your sale.

 

[SkullKeeper]

Any offers since it’s not tanned ?

 

[John Wasmuth]

If I was still in the business I’d scarf it up in a heart beat. Unfortunately those are days gone by. Hope you can sell it. It’s a good looking cape.

Enlighten me here, please. This buff was taken over three years ago, and was salted at the time and apparently remains so. Is this cape still viable after this much time without having been tanned or mounted somehow??
