    3rd Time is the Charm

    WOW this is number 3 after the leopard. Wouldn't take for the memories I have had with my son (13) on these safaris. He actually told me the other day he was going to tell the PH to make certain I did not close the deal so we would go again next year. It does make me proud that he loves...

    I have consulted with legal and it appears that on the surface you can buy ivory from a seller in your state of residence only. So, seller and buyer have to be in the same state. As well as the merchandise.
