Hunting Elephant

If I may, the suspension upon Zimbabwe & Tanzania will end on Jan 1, 2015. I have no idea about Mozambique. I tried to contact them but their contacts page was on the fritz.

Wouldn't that be great! What's your source?

You are correct. They are to revisit the issue then.

Will the ban just go away or will they reinstate it? Tanzania probably has no chance with USFW. Zimbabwe has a chance......but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hope I'm wrong here.

After yesterdays announcement by POTUS it might be a good time to start looking for a cheap beach house in Cuba. A close/inexpensive place to visit and view your Zim, Tan and Moz ivory.
 
Tigris115 where did you get this information about the suspension on elephant in Tanzania and Zimbabwe being lifted Jan 1st? Is that for export back to the US?
 
Yes, the US doesn't allow elephants in because they have yet to issue an import permit but they are not banned like the elephant from TZ and Zimb that they flatly banned in April of this year. When I spoke to USFWL last week they will not put anything in writing about the elephant because there is simply nothing to say....Our Chief Compliance Office on staff is the former Supervisor from the USFWL port of NY who retired last year after 30 years service. Together with him, we are the conduit to make things happen between country DMA's when it comes to opening new country tropy imports OR working on clearing up areas of ambiguity that preclude imports. We are not attorneys who simply file lawsuits and waits for something to happen...


Just curious about the update that you wrote about in the above post, I did not see anything on your website.

Robert,

Good deal. I tried to visit with you in Dallas but you were busy when I passed by. I was there only one day due to family obligations, but will be in Vegas the entire time. I plan to stop by your booth.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
