Eric, yea, called "Mugundumu Safaris", Ron Oliver (who books for them) is who posted this. The PH's are all serving parks officers.

Just out of interest ...

Is this a (government owned company) or governemnt party officials whom own the company offering the hunt ....

OR is it a bona fide totally non=government owned (private hunting outfitter) whom is offering the hunt ?

Cheers, Peter

Parks need to wake up and smell the coffee. Two operators have trophy bull hunts now at 12k including Dayly rates!

Ganyana,

I guess there is a lot more to your post than what you said about the coffee. Not having your background on all this I don't really follow what you are saying. Could you explain?

Mark

This seems to have died quietly and quickly.

Been away

My previous post was as much to help Ron as market the others- Parks (Mugundumu) run a good operation in a very good area for ele's. Nice camp and not too much trouble now the rains have started- but - parks politics say that the officer running the operation (Elekson Ndlovu) doesn't have a free hand. It is late in the year, they still have quota, they will blame Elekson if the animals are not sold- but will not let him drop the price enough to compete.

Hwange Safaris- Just to the south in Deka has two elephant left and want about 18k including trophy fees (of which 13k goes to parks).

Some of the operators in areas with a poorer average trophy quality and/or poorer accomodation are cutting corners even further - Chapungu had one left a week ago, and was prepared to make a small loss to ensure the animal was shot rather than go to bed with quota that has to be paid for anyway!

So what size eles have they shot in Deka? I've heard of some little tusks.
