Hi all...

I have a question, is it possible to sell the tusks from a successful elephant hunt to offset the costs. If so let's say a humble Canadian hunter was able to bring down a pair of 35 pounders. What would the value for such a pair be?

My son really would like to see a shoulder mount done if I am successful. I too think it would be great to pass it on to him when I leave the planet.

Do hunters do this, I'd have no issue forfeiting the real tusks for a set of fibreglass replicas on a shoulder mount. I might be able to afford the hunt, there may not be enough cash left to pay for the mounting and ship it home to Canada.

Open to your thoughts...

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
