Elephant hide tanning

Anyone have any recommendations of who will tan elephant hide in Canada? I’m not having any luck with the people I’ve talked to so far.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

I can't help with Canada, but I have used Specialty Leather in Iowa to tan some elephant hide for clients gun cases.

One of those things to consider long before you squeeze the trigger.

Not exactly a common thing in the Great White North.
