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.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
