I just received an email from a company that offered me a ten day, elephant cull hunt of up to 5 elephants for $6,100 all in,(excluding airfare and gratuities). I recognize that is way below the daily rate alone for DG hunts so is this a too good to be true, hunt?

This offer was from Powers Internationale (Thomas Powers Jr). Has anyone ever dealt with him?

Sounds like a sweet deal Frank, tell him I might be interested, right after I get my millions sent to me by Nigeria's ex minister of finance. homer

This Nigerian ex minister of finance is also sending me many millions! He must have real cash to invest? I'll also be interested in such a hunt as soon as I get my money from him! homer

In good hunting.

If I was in the business of booking hunts, and had that available as a bona fide offer, I'd certainly post it here but only after getting behind something solid to prevent trampling...

do a search on AR for Thomas Powers and you will find some interesting posts concerning his integrity, then make your decision. hint: check out what Matt Graham, a well respected Australian outfitter has too say

Likely a scam. Zim Parks Dept. has said no clients on culls (if they ever do a cull) because in the 1980's some citizen hunters got squashed on culls. If it's just a hunt for 5 tuskless cows, the price is $25-30K too low.

There are cull hunts going on. There has been some paperwork issued by parks asking LPH's etc to assist.

If you want to- go for it- Just make sure you recieve a certified copy of the Parks TR2 form - with your name on it - That will prove that parks authorised the hunt and will at least mean that you can ward off any subsiquent attacks on you as and when this all collapses in a heap.
