    Between South Africa and America.
    Yes its legal in a lot of places. Where have you been buried under a snow blanket? The USA is the only country with the dumb regulations.

    I don't think he is talking about being legal to hunt them.

    If someone is hunting a polar bear (or anything for that matter) and gets one, why would a replica be needed? Oh, he didn't get one! I get it! It isn't catch and release.

    I have been approached to do repo polars but I haven't accepted one yet as it seems a bit silly to do it up here and ship it down. Best to have it done down in the lower 48. Less expensive and someone in the US could use the work more than I.
