40 lbs in Zim is not a problem if you are in the right place. 50 is never a given but can be found. I got a 50 in October in Zim near Hwange Park. There were several 40's around and a bunch of younger bulls. The one I took was the biggest from that area in several years. You can really swing the results in your favor by hunting certain areas but I think it's reasonable to aim for 40 lbs and with a little luck, something bigger!
The other guys have said it already but you can definitely import from Zim IF your outfitter and area are setup for it and offering exportable tags. I went through Conservation Force and the application has already been submitted with the collaboration of CF and the outfitter to get the paperwork done. Backlog is about 1 year right now for approval on ivory applications from Zim.
