Probably Kruger Natl Park. They have some huge tuskers there that they keep really close watch on. When one dies of natural causes (they are totally protected) they know when they go down and they pull the tusks. There are some huge tusks on display there.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

Amazing! Been reading many of the old Africa accounts (Cumming, Neumann, Oswell, Harris, Selous, Bell, etc) mostly 17-1800's. Some of those boys harvested tusks over 200 lbs. Remember, about 1/3 rd of those teeth are embedded in the skull. A real trophy today might just exceed 50lbs.

Beautiful animal, bet you there were thousands and thousands of Elephant studs like that walking around Africa in the 10th Century.
