I realize that all importers are hit and miss, and I did have good experiences on many prior shipments with Wyatt as well, I am thinking like 7 of them went good, 8 and 9 were the questionable ones, and they were all good with the prior owners. However, It was great until it wasn’t. All the good...

Thank you for providing your timeline. That’s a more palatable timeline than what my past 2 shipments and my good buddy’s two shipments and bro in laws were with him. As much as he’d have excuses that agencies are taking forever to clear shipments, they certainly aren’t taking months like he was...

Would you mind sharing snippets of your 3177 form? Or at least the dates and how they line up with the timeline of getting your inland shipping details. Not that I am doubting you with stuff but I am curious if he has fixed his bullshit of letting things sit in the warehouse for super long...

On a side note, my stuff should finally be shipping here very soon. The stuff made it to South Africa and all the export paperwork was just finalized so now it’s just a matter of getting it on a plane to Houston and then on from there. I’m just glad it isn’t going to be held up in the Christmas...

That’s awesome. I’m glad you were able to get the permits. Do you have the permits in hand so you can get going on the import side of things? Also I assume that the 2 elephants per year means that you personally or any one person can only import 2 per year?

I highly doubt I’d use the dgx again. I really do not want to reload for the 450-400 but I would if I was using one of my doubles again. I did lose another buffalo on that same trip, another frontal shot. We think I hit the buffalo in the cheek but I am not fully convinced because we could see...

I have always been on the side of Hornaday here. A dead animal is a dead animal in my eyes, however, here is a personal experience I had just this past August 2026. This is from the newer bonded line out of a 450-400, at about 20 yards. Ammo was bought in 2025 or late 2024. This was a follow up...

I don't recall seeing this on any of their flights I have been on, but it may have been like that in their older planes. They fly Embraer jets and all of their configurations are a 2 seat on either side of the aisle setup. At least that is what their entire fleet is today. I get upgraded by them...

This is pure speculation but I was wondering if it had to do with using a carrier that would ship an elephant and that is the closest place that can do that?

It’s your import permits that are the main issue here. If Jerad is getting those for you, then you are good. Who you use once those permits are obtained is up to you. You can use any import agent at that point. Out of principle for me, I would not use Wyatt, and go with someone else. I’d just go...

I would go back and read this from the beginning. That explains your prior post that I responded to and why I was a bit shocked that it was the lack of communication that you were concerned with and not everything else that had already been discussed by myself and @PAGuardian and several others...

So the fact that he told both of us that our applications were in and that we were just waiting on it to be approved, and all of the other flat out lies as we followed up with him for many many months, only to find out that we had no application, that’s not more concerning than the lack of...

Have you asked for proof that your permit was applied for? Just curious if you know 100% it’s in process. Maybe you mentioned where it’s at in the process in prior posts and I just missed it?

The way it sits with what he has done so many times, you either you do business with someone who lies and has no ethics or you don’t. It’s clear from the multiple people who had problems with him that he lies consistently. Some people seem to be ok with still doing business with someone like...

JKO would be a fine choice indeed!
