Hi All,

Now that the PC brigade has banned lion importation into Australia, my next option is elephant...

Does anyone know if you can import elephant into Australia?

I have nearly exhausted the PG menu, and while I love buff hunting I am worried that the government may ban all DG in the near future...

Thanks,

Ado
 
mate you are dreaming.
as far as l kmow australlia shut elephants down a long time ago
if you got your heart set on elephant , try and do a pac hunt and bring your trophy photo home with you
sorry if l come across ,harsh , im drowning my sorrows tonight .

Yeah a pretty crappy situation - feel for you mate.

I am probably dreaming RE: ele - may be another buff... :)

if you can get a pac hunt ,go for it .
its right up there on my dreaming , list.....
then send a picture to shane McGrath and tell him you aint sorry ,
you just helped the specie.................
 
You Can still do the hunt without importing. A local guy did and has a set of cast replica tusks. If it was me I would go with blueys suggestion.
 
Tuskless is another less expensive option, then at least you are just out the hide, which can be sold to recoup part of the hunt cost.
 
Sound about the only option for Australians - pretty sad really...

if you love hunting in Australia ,put the hubs in , and your seat belt on , the road is just starting to get rough , it will get a whole lot worse before it gets any better .

these bozos are winning , and aint going to stop at elephant , leopard and now lion .......
 
Bluey,

Ado
 
in one sentence ,no .....
 
Very sorry to hear that...

it would be a lot better if the other aussies trying import lion s would get up and stir the cemment ,before it sets
ive posted on three forums , asking for anyone in the same boat as me to speak up , and ive had one reply from a bloke that got his home last November

no one will tell me any other names , but want all the info im gathering ,
the cites permit was applied for today .(import)
just a never ending circle and lots of dead ends
im thinking of importing her to new Zealand , but cant get any info , on importers there , then I have to find some where to store her for a little while , till I can get her into Australia .
but then again the way the pollkies are fkin this place up ,maybe I will sell everything up and just shift over there
 
Ahh New Zealand, the land of he long white silencer.

I loved NZ and the practical approach to firearms they have...

im thinking of just the freedom , there .
kinda like what we used to take for granted , but somehow ,sat on our asses while it was taking away from us ,a bit at a time

Na is looking good to me to, I'm not quite ready to leave Au. But it's getting close.

I might be forced to yet, not liking the noises coming out of our government.

I don't know a lot about importing cats, but is there anything I can do to help ?
