Jorge just posted that he had a dice cup made from a buffalo scrotum. What a novel idea. I have a buffalo backskin and scrotum as well. What else have the readers used scroti for? I need some other ideas. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I felt the buff's ball-bag were a point of reference between him and us naval aviator types! The other suggestion from the taxidermist was a draw string bag to put er..do-dads in like recovered bullets.

My wife declined my offer to have a small purse crafted. Go figure...jorge

My buddy's getting his made into a dice cup. I'm getting one made into a pen holder. Can't wait for someone to ask about it.

'My, that's unique. Funny, it feels familiar. I can't seem to place where I've felt this before..."

how about a bowl for nuts?

Friends of mine put sheep (Stone and bighorn) scrotii on their saddle horns. I saved the scrote from my big Stone but it was lost at the tannery! (arghh!!!).

I intend to save a cape buff scrote or two...not sure what I will do with them yet.

Cheers,
Canuck

I had my Stne Sheep tanned and made into a draw bag for extra lens on my spotting scope.

Once I guided a lady client. When she got her impala ram she was very interested in its scrotum. The trophy was less important...

Had one made into a nice velvet lined purse for the other half...

I think the Buffalo already thought of that.

I'm doing the pen holder from my buff's.

BTW, you can take a deer scrotum, put salt (or preferably borax) on the inside and stretch it over the shift knob in your car. Hold it in place with a coupla rubber bands until it dries. Nice and fuzzy. Oh, and quite a conversation piece when a friend drives and asks about the cool leather shift knob cover as he/she shifts the gears .

I turned mine into a beer coozy. I used another one and wrapped it around a real foam coozy and did the same with some Zebra skins.

Drink up!

Cheers,

Sam

Mine is being made into a draw bag. I have a bison bag as well, made into a draw bag, and I use it with my mountain man activities here in the West.

Shumba wears his over his own. Says it helps with chaffing.

Novel idea. A replacement for the jock strap?

How about a coin pouch or tobacco pouch with a draw string.

Yeah, but the string around the waist and wearing it to the dinner table was just making us...I don't know, UNCOMFORTABLE?

Ouch!! Sounds like something the Chippendale boys would wear here in the States.

I had one made into a pencil holder. It's a unique addtion to your office's desk!

Hey, what about canes out of the penis? I have one out of my bison. Didn't have one made out of the buff, but do they do that as well? It's quite a conversation piece, especially with the ladies.

Kinda like Cunningham's idea but put all your recovered bullets in it. People will ask what the bag is made of. Eland scrotums are neat for weird curios also.

Mark

Jim,

Where'd you think I got the idea?

-Steve

The real question is whether the plural is scrota?

That's funny... I kept my two and have yet to make them into something more than a ball warmer.

Plural of "scrotum" is indeed "scrota" but "scrotums" is also used, and preferred over Canuck's version.

"Scrotum" is a variant of the Latin "scrautum" meaning "quiver" as in archery pouch that holds arrows. From arrows to nuts. Ho hum.

Oryx scrotums make a pretty nice beer sleeve.

Boxing gloves. Some opponents may take getting beaten with two ball sacks a little personally.

Dry it hard like the dice cup, and use it as an armor for your own equipment if you have to follow up on a wounded Leopard! especially if you choose a 12 ga, with buck shot!

That is one Capstick didn't include in his Leopard kit!

TJ ----- Our bunch of Elk hunters have been making "Beer Huggies" or "Beer Sleeves" if you will from our Bull Elk Scrotums for years. I also made one from my Alaskan Yukon Moose. We have an Elk Hunters Bonfire each year in january and Bar-B-Q Elk ribs and any other wildgame we might have from the previous falls hunt. You would not beleave the "Wildgame related items" that make an appearance at this get together. For some reason I was brain dead and didn't think about my Buffalo Sctotum from the Selous. Good shooting

What a bunch of great responses. Thanks all! Hope more keep coming.

Tobacco pouch. Just like the character from John Steinbeck's Travels with Charly. Except that was from a squaw's breast.

Shumba must be on vacation. I can't believe he hasn't made a rebuttal....or maybe he's coming over in person.

I have paper clips in an Eland bag on my desk. I was told Buffalo don't have swizzle sticks.

A zebra scrotum will keep your scrotum warm on the coldest of days. At least the zebra can rest in peace knowing his sack is still in use.

Yes I do and yes they do.

The only problem was the first one wasn't big enough so I had to go back to Zim to shoot a 2nd buffalo. Now I have two sewn together and it seems to be a much better fit.

Tim

That's because you need to stop shooting the baby ones. MY buff's scrotum is a shower cap.

I had my buff bag made into a black powder possibles bag and donated it to the front stuffers group at my club for fund raiser. Thanks for all the other ideas. Think I'll do something with the next one.

Here is the Scrotum from one of my buffalo:

UEG

I made one out of my Cape Buffalo, it hands with the rest of my canes, the carved ones....

My giraffe is coming back with the hide, cape and bones, I'll make one out of that one too.

I made a cane from a herford bull for my step father, he took it to Florida and showed it to the ladies plying tennis, they didn't believe it was from a bull herford!

While in high school I worked summers for a large animal Veterinarian. Once when castrating black angus calves I saved a scrotum and made it into a cover for the gear shift knob on my "Four on the floor" Karmann Ghia. After some use the hair wore off around the edges leaving a ring of dark shiny skin with a tuft of black hair in the middle. Young ladies would repeatedly ask what was on my shifter knob and I would put them off until the mystery had grown to sizable proportion. I would then choose a time when they had their hand on the shifter knob to inform them as to its origins. The reactions, in addition to occasionally being amusing in and of themselves, had some predictive value as to the outcome of the evenings activties.
