    Recommendations for elephant skin tanning

    I’m looking for recommendations for tanning elephant and crocodile skin. The skins are currently in Zambia. Are there any reliable tanneries in the states or SA that can handle elephant panels? Thanks for the help!

    50.BMG....overkill for Elephants?????

    I thought you couldn't take 50BMG or 338Lapua out of the country because they are NATO sniper rounds. I assume we are starting in the US because we love 50bmg and 338Lapua

    45/70

    https://www.americanhunter.org/content/boers-big-bullets-and-buffalo/ I read this a while back. They seemed to do just fine.

    45/70

    Thats interesting. I think most of the lost animals were shot with hornady and barnes 300gr. Very likely could have been bullet failure. I know a lot of guys have good luck with hot reloads but I can't speak to it.

    45/70

    People love the 45/70 and I just don't get it. Seems like every time we don't recover a wounded animal it was shot with a 45/70. Anyone else have that experience?

    3.5 12ga vs big bore rifle

    I can't preach it enough but a shock eater shooting pad does wonders and it's thin enough that you won't notice it. I wore one in my undershirt while using a 470 and never bruised. I don't have any affiliation with them in any way but I had excellent results. I would say a 9.3X74R double gun...

    44 mag suppressed??

    Ruger deerstalker would be awesome if you could get it threaded.

    44 mag suppressed??

    Out of curiosity why the 44mag? I would think a 357 would yield similar results but give the option for 38 practice or the 300blk for quiet and similar distances. I love a 44 mag but why does it stand out to you?
