Hi,

I have read an article from africanhuntinggazette about a hunter name Wato from Australia but could not recall the issue number. I can get the issue number for you tomorrw if you want.

From the article, I belive you will not be able to import elephant tusk into Australia.

wahunter,
I can tell you with absolute certainty that you can not import any elephant product what so ever in to Australia.

Thanks for the replys its the same answer im getting from the goverment deparment was not what i wanted to hear .... not fair

Someone is always posing new questions on here and I appreciate the perspectives that other hunters bring to the table and the issues they have to address at home to be able to hunt. From this I get to learn just how lucky I am. Sorry for you mate.
