Hunting Elephant

If I may, the suspension upon Zimbabwe & Tanzania will end on Jan 1, 2015. I have no idea about Mozambique. I tried to contact them but their contacts page was on the fritz.

Wouldn't that be great! What's your source?

You are correct. They are to revisit the issue then.

Will the ban just go away or will they reinstate it? Tanzania probably has no chance with USFW. Zimbabwe has a chance......but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hope I'm wrong here.

After yesterdays announcement by POTUS it might be a good time to start looking for a cheap beach house in Cuba. A close/inexpensive place to visit and view your Zim, Tan and Moz ivory.

Tigris115 where did you get this information about the suspension on elephant in Tanzania and Zimbabwe being lifted Jan 1st? Is that for export back to the US?

I read this page (http://www.fws.gov/international/permits/by-activity/sport-hunted-trophies.html) that said the ban would last until Dec. 31, 2014.

Thank you!

Yes, the US doesn't allow elephants in because they have yet to issue an import permit but they are not banned like the elephant from TZ and Zimb that they flatly banned in April of this year. When I spoke to USFWL last week they will not put anything in writing about the elephant because there is simply nothing to say....Our Chief Compliance Office on staff is the former Supervisor from the USFWL port of NY who retired last year after 30 years service. Together with him, we are the conduit to make things happen between country DMA's when it comes to opening new country tropy imports OR working on clearing up areas of ambiguity that preclude imports. We are not attorneys who simply file lawsuits and waits for something to happen...

Just curious about the update that you wrote about in the above post, I did not see anything on your website.

Good morning Mike, there is no update as of yet, F&WL have there own watch and calendar. The update will not be posted on our website because it will look like novel War & Peace.

Robert,

Good deal. I tried to visit with you in Dallas but you were busy when I passed by. I was there only one day due to family obligations, but will be in Vegas the entire time. I plan to stop by your booth.
