Pronghorn horns for powder horns

[WyomingWhitetail]

So i live in the great state of the anti-goat (tourist call them pronghorn or antelope) any way i was wondering if any body has ever seen a powder horn made out of one of there horns.They are hollow and are shed every year. They might be on the thin side but I bet i could find one easier than any other kind of horn. If its possible might actually give me a reason to hunt one the stinky things. Just curious as its seems it should be a pretty plentiful source of horns but you never hear any talk about them.

If your not already huntin them, your missing out. I went out there in 88' and had a blast huntin those goats and loved ever bit of the meat too....

There has been one or two posted over the years that were made into priming horns if I remember right. Made a very unique horn. :thumbsup:

The problem with your Prairie Goats in Wyoming, is that their uglier than ours here in Newbrasskey!

I made two over the years into small bag horns. Not my choice for a powder horn, but "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", they say!

If you want to make one! ... Go for it!

Rick :blah: :rotf: ....... Just "fun'n" with ya neighbour!

hmm i might have to see about giving it a try. I think it would work decent since they would be slimmer than a big round horn and not like a need a big one since its not like im going to be traveling across the prairie for months at a time. Ours may be uglier but your stink worse :wink:

You have to put the spout on the big end. You might try something like the one on this sheep horn or you could turn one from some hardwood.
Post a pic when your done.

Does anyone know where I could get a sheep horn, pronghorn or a antelope horn?

This is what I did with one of the horns from this buck I found dead in my road side pasture. They make a fair priming horn.

that is actually very similar to the approach that i was thinking of taking. I think that it might work pretty good for a day horn since it would be a lot less bulky.

I have a pair also, And I was woundering if Native americans would used them for poweder horn or what. Nice work .
