Gus:
I love it...
Guess I'm one of "Them" folks...
Many Moons ago, during one successful gun season, I took a nice ten point buck.
My Grandfather was so excited he was litterally vibrating across the ground.
"We have to go show him off in town" he says...
It was about 20F outside and the dear was dressed, so I figured what the heck, I'll let Paw Paw have his fun, so we loaded up and headed to town.
So we're down at a local feed store Paw Paw has all the local hunters and Old Timers gathered around the bed of the truck looking over my Buck.
Paw Paw is telling the story for the tenth time, I'm sipping a cup of coffee and day dreaming about the work ahead, when one nice old gentleman
asked "Son, where did you shoot him?". To which I promptly replied, "In the Neck."...
After a short pause and a quizzical look, the old man grinned at me and said, "No Son, in what part of the country were you standing when you squeezed the trigger?"... :)

JW_Halverson:
My redemption!
The tulip shaped brass spout has a plug that seals with a rubber o-ring. Cheating, sure, but it works, too.
Then the walnut plug at the back got a brass button type tab installed. It unscrews for refilling the horn.
JW_Halverson:
Finished product, sans strap:
JW_Halverson:
It felt so dang good to finish this project off that I dug around and found the priming horn I had started about 6 months ago. And I finished that too!
And if that weren't enough, I went and put the final touches on a shooting pouch I was working on! Here they are posed as a set:
Cameroo:
