Good Deal on Zim Bull Elephant
I just received an e-mail regarding what looks like a good deal on a Zim bull elephant:

SBT,
That is a pretty good price. Consider the trophy fee on the bull is $10,000 and the daily rate works out to $650. I've hunted elephant in this area and there are a number of them but I would shoot the first old bull I saw carrying 35 pounds per side. There are bigger out there, but.......


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

bwanamrm,
I've never been there, but I've checked out alot of elephant hunts. The price sounded right. I'll be hunting elephant and lion with Pierre Von Tonder in Tanzania, booked through Ray, in 2006. It is crazy to book that far in advance as the anticipation is almost unbearable. But, it is better to save and go, than just to dream!
