Just received an email from Conservation Force that my ele import has been approve/issued for the ivory/leather and after only 9 days. To say we appreciate the service they offer would be an understatement.
Special thanks to @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS and @Rare Breed

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Congratulations! Well I guess I owe you a bottle of champaign during our bird hunt to celebrate my friend! You took a bull of a lifetime !!!
 
Good to hear that it’s going to get through.
 
Congratulations.

How big of an addition to the house will this require?
 
Congratulations on your elephant permit.

I can't say enough about Conservation Force; they obtained import permits for 2 elephants, a rhino, and a lion for me - all in a relatively short time.

That’s wonderful Franco! Where did you hunt?

Thanks Scott. The elephants were from Botswana, and Zimbabwe, the Namibia elephant was non-exportable. The rhino was Namibia, and the lion - Zambia. All trophies are stateside now, the rhino was done as a half-body and is in my shop awaiting the completion of my trophy room.
 
Congratulations!
I haven’t had the same luck so far with CF as I am still awaiting import approval on an Elephant from Botswana taken in May/2022 and submitted in September/2023.

HH,

Have you asked where you are in the queue? My Bots elephant was taken July 2022 and was the last to be approved although the application was submitted just a few months later. The rhino was taken in Namibia in August of that same year and was approved within a few months. The Zim elephant was exactly a year later and was actually approved before the Bots elephant.

I don't completely understand the order or process. I believe the applications are being processed by country, on rotation rather than date, and there was a significant backlog.

Perhaps someone more familiar with the process could educate us?
 
Happy to report that I received my Elephant Import permit today. Now I need to decide which Broker to use for the Import. Anyone have an idea who’s good? I have use Coppersmith & Trophy Shippers.

HH,

Congrats on the elephant. The wait for the permit is the worst part of the whole experience; such a relief when it's issued.

I have used Coppersmith with no issues.

I’d suggest Safari Specialty Importers

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
