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...

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
