Good for you and my compliments on your decision. Well done sir.

If my left foot wasn't in a walking boot I'd have taken this hunt. To each his own, but to me - it's more about the hunt than the size of the tusks. My last elephant hunt, I picked the oldest, worn out old bull we could find. One of his tusks was broken, it didn't matter. Nice bull...

Dave, Would love to attend your party, what can we bring?

Will you have a booth?

Planning on being there.

I hope it is true, I plan on going back to Australia. Being retired from American I still have travel benefits which can apply to codeshare, but not with firearms.

Yes - that's the one we took, both directions. I retired from American, flew mostly international. I was, and still am, a firm believer in 1 up and 1 down. I tried to fly the longest flights we had, less days per month.

What flight number do you show? When I checked the AA site, the DFW - SYD non-stop said "Operated by Qantas". It appeared to be a code share. An AA non-stop would be great, I am retired from AA.

Very well said. Rent, borrow, own? If the goal is to take a certain trophy, or trophies, does it matter which option you chose? Only to you, and it depends on the circumstance. If the cost of a large caliber, DG rifle is what's stopping you from considering a hunt, then rent or borrow one...

I've seen some 22 Hornet doubles, I think that would be fun.

I've had a SAT phone for years, but Starlink makes WIFI calling on your phone so easy. Ask the camp where you will be staying if they have Starlink. I will say, my SAT phone has come in real handy when Starlink or some other form of cellular or WIFI was not available.

Very good choice, you will have a great time hunting with Alex. He can guide you through all your paperwork including the export permit. Between clearing upon arrival and checking in for the Darwin flight, you won't have time. We just booked for the next day and made good use of our time...

I second what @rifletuner stated above. Do you already have an specific hunt and outfitter? The outfitter should assist with all paperwork, be sure to ask about the export paperwork. I did a hunt last October out of Darwin; I flew Qantas from Dallas to Sydney because it's a non-stop with an...

Timing is everything... If you run out, let me know - you can drive over and get some, and try out the indoor range.

I'll take it if still available. PM the address
