I don’t know anything about hunting elephant other than you need a large rifle.
So, what is meant by the “40lbs” part of this ad/hunt?

Good evening
Leftysixgun, the 40 pounds refer to the weight of the tusks. The quota that we receive in the open system in South Africa is determent by weight classes namely 25, 30, 40 and 55 pounds.
daawg1963 this area has probably one of the highest population of elephants in Africa and the success rate is very high.

So to clarify, Is the 40lbs the Upper limit for the tag or the Lower limit for the permit?

As in you can shoot a bull UP TO 40lbs?

Or you can shoot a bull Over 40lbs (but under the next level 55)?

And of course I understand there is a 10% guesstimate on ivory "live" weights due to nerve, etc.

Thanks

Good day wildwilderness
When hunting a 40 pounder you can go up to 44 pounds but not over that. The extra 4 pounds is the 10% margin that they allow you. Hope that makes sense.

I successfully hunted elephant with Valie a couple of months ago. There are plenty of bull elephants there.
