Come and experience a elephant hunt in a area with one of the highest population of big tuskers in Africa.
This hunt will take place in the open system of South Africa bordering one of the biggest National Parks in Africa.
We have been given the opportunity to hunt this 55 pound bull off witch there is only one available.
Unfortunately Elephants in South Africa are still non-exportable but we will be able to make replicas of the tusks.

This will be a 10 day all inclusive hunt and we have time till to 31 March 2026 to hunt this bull.
Should our government open the export of elephants before the hunt has taken place the hunter will be able to export his tusk, only paying for the additional permit fees. Should it open after the hunt has taken place you will unfortunately not be able to export your trophy. As things stand now it is still closed for exportation.

This is only partially true.

As per info from my govt ministry, Cites-wise, to some European countries, elephant trophy is importable/exportable from 4 countries: Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, under the condition it has all valid papers, cites permits, documentation, pre-import approval, etc....
 
That is correct South Africa has been issued CITES permits but the problem lies with our minister that needs to sign off on the documents that will give us the green light to export. Up until now he has not done so therefore no elephant hunted in South Africa can be exported.
Role players in the industry are threatening to take him to court for loss of income so we are all hopeful that this situation will change rather sooner than later.

Just want to add that we also have 30 and 40 pounders available.
30 pounder at $14850
40 pounders at $19500
Daily rate of $350 per day
7 full hunting days should be enough
 
Good day Northplains
I have sent you a pm
Regards
 
To clarify the 55# weight comes from the one biggest/heaviest tusk?


Am I right that is how elephants are sized? That it is not the combination of 2 tusks.
 
Good day wilwildernes
Yes, that is correct. The size is determent by the single biggest tusk and not the combined weight of the two
 
Good day artelkhunter
The protocol of the reserves where this hunt takes place allows for a 10% discretion meaning if we hunt a 55 pounder, we can be over by 5,5 pounds. Should we be over by more than 10% they implement penalties by means of a fine.

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
