In November 2017 the United States government released a report clarifying the controversial “ban” of trophy ivory importation into the USA from Zambia and Zimbabwe. There has been no ban on elephant trophy imports. A ban is a permanent prohibition; a suspension is a temporary withholding. This short video explains the situation.

Excellent narrative that lays this out in a straightforward and to the point manner.

Now how to get that to the uninformed majority?
 
Thanks for posting
 
I fail to understand why we think we know more about other countries wildlife management than they do.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
