I'm curious. If I legally harvest a buffalo and a hippo in Zimbabwe and I have a legal T-2 form from the government, can I sell or barter the green hides in country?

If so, what would green hides for buffalo and hippo be worth roughly? I was contemplating (if I can validate the legalities) bartering a salted hippo and buffalo hide for finished leather goods but I don't know what the value of a salted hide would be worth? I'm assuming its worth a reasonable amount but not a great sum?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
