HUNTING Elephant

...they hope to break the neck, but mostly it only wound and then days of following the weakened animal....

Gentlemen I am visiting my daughter in Brooklyn New York next week. Is there a museum in the area where I can see a full mount of an African elephant or even the skeleton? Going to hunt in Namibia next year. Thanks for any advice. Only Asian elephants in Australia.

The American Museum of Natural History across from Central Park has a great diorama of elephants. It is especially amazing because Carl Akeley did the taxidermy over 100 years ago. There are also some other amazing animals like Giant Sable. Well worth the visit IMHO.

Than you very much. I look forward to visiting. I trust my 5 year old granddaughter will not be asking difficult questions [emoji3]
 
Thank you Wheels. A magnificent display. They even have a separate exhibition on the hidden life of elephants with a projection of the elephants heart, lung, and digestive system.

Thank you wheels. Fantastic display. I think visiting here is a must before hunting for these magnificent beasts.

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?
