I am interested on an Ele PAC hunt. What safari companies/PHs do you recommend I contact. I have hunted Africa twice, but not for Jumbo. This will be my first ele hunt. Suggestions would help me a lot. Thanks

Buzz Charlton is very popular here, and for good reason. www.cmsamaris.com

Engineer with fat fingers...

Thanks;

Thanks for the info--
I will email Buzz

any other suggestions?

I'll add my vote for Buzz. Traditional, tracking on foot, and going for the brain shot.

Taylors African Safaris; taylorsafricansaf@netconnect.co.zw
Nengasha Safaris; kaluga@mweb.co.zw
These are two companys I can recommend with Buzz as well.
Ozhunter.

Dudley Rogers at Tshabezi Safaris is another good one.

I'll second Dudley Rogers. He has a lot of Elephant options. You can do a 5-day cow Ele, 10-day Bull Ele "night hunt" or any of the other Elephant hunts he has.

Dudley is at www.tshabezisafaris.com - and I know a guy who has done FIVE trophy BULL ELLIES with him.

This guy's 78 and 79 pounder is on the opening page of the above site top right corner.

My friend's got a site for his store too www.rangemasteroutfitters.com.

Thanks for everyone's input!

I have fired off a few emails-hopefully I can set something up for 2007.
slim possibility for this year but maybe. Anyway, I need to smoke some powder down the double tubes --directed at jumbo --hopefully in 07! I can't wait!

Dudley Rogers and his son Clinton at tshabezis are wonderful to hunt with. Give them a try. I've done cow and bull hunts with them.

I am looking to do a ellie with Dudley Rogers and the PH will be Lorry. The hunt will be 12 days in mid April. Does anyone have information or suggestions regarding this hunt? I have never hunted with them before and don't know anyone who has. Thanks

I hunted with his son Clinton a few years back for trophy elephant. It was a great hunt. Do as much walking as you can before you go and you will enjoy the hunt more.

Outstanding first post resurrecting an 8 year old thread. You're gonna fit right in here. Welcome.

LOL! Now that it is open, one might as well mention the Desert Ele "non-trophy" hunt currently in the Discounted Hunts forum. Exportable hide too! Not a bad deal.

JMHO

Hi Quick Shot

As we talk PAC with paying clients is illegal and has been for a while now so it would be a no go. The closest you will get is a ration elephant hunt. Operators have different opinions on this and as a result have different policy on their ration quota. I know that some operators offer ration ele bulls but we feel that this is very short sighted and as a result we only offer ration cows. Personally I would suggest a tuskless hunt rather then a ration ( bull or cow) as it is much more of a hunt! Cheers Buzz

There oughtta be a law against opening long dead posts! This one is especially inept as it wants to discuss PAC elephant hunts, which are illegal and unethical to sell in advance. It would not be overly difficult to discern the facts before posting.

But I thought PAC stood for non trophy Ele?

Problem Animal Control. Great sport if you have the means to be involved in it.

Please note, this is not a "PAC" hunt, But the hunt is done under PAC conditions in that it is generally at night. The trophy is exportable and there is a Cities quota of Bulls,and tukless. We like to do the hunts earlier in the season when a lot of ellies are causing havock. The hunter does NOT have to shoot the first bull he sees and we look and hunt for the best we can find. It is a fun way to hunt believe it or not.

Buzz, dont know if you are aware Qickshot posted in 2006!! I think pac was an add on in campfire areas then. I think I am legal??

PAC and TROPHY should not be used in the same sentence. Many bulls, in my strongest opinion are shot as PAC animals, yet do not qualify.Are there honest PAC hunts, of course, but be VERY careful.

OK I'll be VERY careful!!
