    Over/under?
    Shipping included?
    There's Mil-spec, and then there's Gunnutz-spec.
    One is stringent, the other contains nuts.

    John, how are you going to top that elephant on future trips?
    Probable a tusk-less cow hunt, I am told that it can get very exciting. Although I am concerned that my PH’s may intend to keep me on a leash after the last hunt as they strongly object (very wisely) to me rapidly closing in on wounded animals to finish them off quickly at point blank ranges.

    Legally hunted ivory with the correct permits can be imported into Canada. A CITES (Convention In Trading Endanger Species) permit is a "must" then there is no problem. Elephants are not an endangered species, in some areas the population is way too high and if the numbers are not reduced serious habitat destruction will take place. What is not generally understood is that when this habitat is destroyed, other species suffer seriously long before it effects the Elephant. The number of Ellie that can be harvested each year is strictly controlled. Over 70% of the money I paid will go directly into the local community.
    Thank you for the insight John. Being an environmentalist and horticulturist, I know how much destruction a large concentration of herbivores can cause to an area. I see nothing wrong at all with selective hunting, and the money paid will benefit all of the local people and ecology.

    I appreciate you sharing your hunt with us! Congratulations. When you have your trophies mounted, I'm sure we'd all like to see some pictures.

    Yours,
    Drachenblut

    In many areas of Africa and Asia, many rarer species of animals are now in less danger now that they are being legally hunted. The reason? They now have more value alive than dead. For many areas and villages, a single hunting safari will generate a lot more money than years of agriculture. Therefore, the native population is less likely to poach and kill them. Of course, the anti-hunting groups will never admit to this.
    It's important to have a good vocabulary. If I had known the difference between the words 'antidote' and 'anecdote,' one of my good friends would still be alive.

    That's pretty awesome. I'd like to merely try firing the 8 bore, let alone hunting African game with it..
