Great pics shared by all! Until recently I hadn't payed much attention to Hippo, but have seen quite a few hunts on tv shows recently, and now looking at this thread I may need to put one of these critters on the future wish list!

Zimbabwe, in the Zambezi River, Chewore North concession to be more exact.
I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Part will depend on the leather and how it really turned out. Boots, scabbards, or an ottoman even have all crossed my mind.

What did it cost to have a hide that size turned into leather?

Less than I thought.... There were four panels that size and the total was under $700. I've talked to someone who had a hippo tanned here in the states and it was a good deal more than that.
The true proof will of course be in how workable the leather is, but I'm really happy with how it looks.

Jaws! When hippo bulls fight they show no mercy! Incredibly powerful jaws that do serious damage. Luckily they have thick hide, but sometimes its not enough to ward off a huge tusk.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
