Tuskless cow or PAC elephant/Buffalo Combo
Does anyone know if such a combination hunt is possible and have any suggestions as to destination and PH? I'm thinking tuskless or PAC elephant to keep the costs somewhat reasonable. I could do this hunt in 2007 if one was available. I would guess that most of these hunts are sold individually, but I hate to travel half way around the world for just one animal.

Any helpful suggestions are certainly appreciated.

Try Charlton-McCallum in Zimbabwe.

I also talked to Wendell Reich about doing a simlar hunt in Zim, so you might give him a call.

Tom - In Zimbabwe, a tuskless + buffalo might be the easiest to arrange, and chances are you could hunt both in the same area.

I'm doing a tuskless in March w/Buzz, and something like this would be an option instead of the buff. Nothing to have to ship home either. As you said, most times (excluding end of season maybe) each has a minimum number of days required by the concession owner (effectively a fixed cost), so you could end up with a 12/14/17 day hunt but could schedule for less.

Buzz/Myles have some options I am sure, but do get with them before the Dallas show as quota seems tight already for Zim in 07. Regards, Bill

Last May I hunted Non Trophy Bull with PH Matthew Stanton.
I have also booked with him again for this April.
He offers great deals for Non Trophy and Trophy Jumbo on communal areas in Zimbabwe along with Plains Game and Leopard.
Matt also hunts some of the Safari areas but not at the same rate.
Matt can be contacted on 0011 263 11 21 33 68
his Email is zimtrackers@yahoo.com
regards,
Adam.

For PAC, you need to hunt a designated area that usually does not offer other trophies. That's the case with us (we only do leopard with PAC) but we do offer a PG add-on that makes the hunt a 14 day total @$400 per day plus your PAC success fee $3K, and PG a la carte.

In the Doma area we offer all the species incl. elephant tusked or tuskless, buffalo, leopard, sable PG etc.
