Wendell ReichCancellation Elephant/Buffalo/Hippo/Croc Hunt, big discount! 40%-47%
I got a call from Vaughan Fulton in Namibia. He just had one of his last hunts for the year cancel. It was a big one. Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, and Crocodile.
Here is the situation. The season ends on the last day of November. He would like to resell this hunt. He has lowered the number of days and the day rate to where the discount is between 40% to 47% depending on how many animals you choose to include in the hunt.
He has available: Elephant, Hippo, Crocodile, Buffalo.
The day rate is going to be $850/day
Number of days depends on how many animals you want to hunt.
Elephant - 10-days - $8500 (normally 14 days $16,100) 47% discount
Elephant Croc - 11 days - $9350 (normally 15 days $17,250) 46% discount
Elephant Buffalo - 13 days - $11,050 (normally 16 Days $20,000) 45% discount
Elephant Croc Hippo - 13 days - $11,050(normally 16 Days $20,000) 45% discount
Elephant Croc Hippo Buffalo - 16 days - $13,600 (normally $22,500) 40% discount
We can mix and match any of these animals to suit what you want to hunt.
Trophy Fees:
Elephant $11,500
Buffalo $3000
Hippo $2750
Croc $2000
Lion $10,000
Lion is available. Odds on Lion are low, but there is an outside possibility. A nice Male has been seen by camp recently. Do not book this hunt expecting it to be a Lion hunt. Lion is going to be a target of opportunity only.
Since this is a shorter Elephant hunt, you should shoot the first 40 lb (or better) Elephant that you find. This is not a hunt for someone who wants to spend time looking for a 60lb or better Elephant. While it is possible, there is not enough time be overly picky.
Odds at 40 lbs are very good.

GarByThose appear to be REAL nice numbers. But if they were even lower, no good for me this year....I'm still a workin' man. But for someone who can go, jump with both feet!...and good luck!

RhydetI was on the last hunt last year with Vaughn. I took a 40" buff. The other hunter in camp took a good buff, croc and elephant. The ele was about 40 pounds.
I can give anyone a strong thumbs up for this hunt.
