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?

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.
