Howdy Bill,the dye that I used is a mix or concotion I put together that did not come out like I wanted. I'll just have to live with the color until hunting season is over. Think I will try the walnut dye Buckskin BILLY talk's about, on the hide's I have working. Have not taken any game as of yet but have seen plenty,and have been with the guest hunters on some nice WT. Buck's and wild hog that they have taken. Will be hunting with my children and Grandchildren the next couple of wk's. My favorite time of yr. is spent watching the youngun's have at it. My turn will come soon and I'll post some pic. soon. Your right Bill ,I am lucky and I give thank's for it every day. Good Luck to Ya Amigo. Dave, wish you Pard's was in camp with me. I will post some pic,s soon I hope. Mogorilla, the horn is from a wild Spanish goat that was killed on the Muleshoe ranch near the Mexico border. I kinda like the way it fit's my side and you are right it is different. I used Mesquite wood from the ranch for the plug and copper nails to hold it together. That antler knob on the plug ,I cut thread in and it's for refilling. Now if I can get that leather swaped out with leather from the hides i am working. Think it will look much better. I'll try to post a better pic. of my horn,,,,,Dusty
