I often see unbelievable deals for elephant/lion hunts that are very restrictive on US importations.

For someone that may have the ability to purchase a residence outside of the US. What countries would you recommend having the most lenient trophy import restrictions?

Thanks in advance.
 
South Africa and any of the Eastern Block countries, Canada.
 
Canada and Mexico
 
Canada follows the CITES conventions, not that we are lenient. We just follow our agreements. :)

Interesting topic. While I do not have the fiscal ability or the desire to purchase a home outside of the United States, I have often thought about this. Canada would be easy.
 
We'll actually let you cross the border, but leave the handguns at home.
 
Ooops, that leaves out most Texans I know!!!!

You can have them, just need a permit. Don't just show up at the border or you'll get a surprise.
 
Spain, we just follow CITES, no other local restrictions.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
