If you had the funds and wanted to hunt a bull ele and its ivory was importable,where would you choose to hunt?

the Caprivi- the same genetics/animals as the thick ivoried bulls in Botswana. they just walk across the Chobe River from the NP into the conservancies in the Caprivi. other areas of Namibia likewise have nice bulls but i am unfamiliar with them.

Dande with CMS in April with a Merkel that hasn't had all the screws taken out and put back in. Previous to this April. There was a 100% success rate....
Sorry, i just couldn't help but kid. What size Ivory? Obviously the Caprivi as stated and you see several offers like with Mokore in the SVC and Sengwa. Between people like CMS and Mokore success doesnt get higher. Zambia also has some permits now which would be 100% successful

Sorry, Bourbon..

Of the areas I've personally hunted in, without doubt I'd try for 60lber+ in the Save Valley Conservancy on either Humani, Sango or Mokore ( depending on time of year )

From what I hear and read, you probably couldn't go wrong in the Caprivi either

If you don't mind boundary hunts and hunting at night then a place like Maheneye, but for the sake of possibly getting an elephant with an extra 15lbs, I wouldn't trade a traditional hunt for a boundary at night hunt!!!

BwaBwata Nat. Park with Allan Cilliers. He has super jumbo hunting. This is the last year of his lease and booked for 2015 but hopefully he will get it back in the renewal.

well, the renewal process results will be known in about 2 weeks. should be interesting.

George as I posted earlier-

In Zim having hunted many areas- out the areas that I would consider fair chase and satisfying hunting and value for money I would go to the Forestry blocks bordering Wankie. It is a quality hunt with a chance of a real good ele and above all one sees alot of bulls. Organization camp though is average but that is the price one pays for going there.

Buzz, plenty of areas outside Gonarezhou are classic tracking.
We hunting agricultural areas and forested hills and I never felt like we patroled border. One bull we got was holed up in hills more suited for elk hunting
Hell of a hike
We went out two nights and it was very exciting as well , especially when we got surrounded by big herd of buffs.
Still remember Nixon saying " We might have to shoot our way out of this "
They finally smelled us and ran around us. Close quarters, but we lucked out.
Anyway, perceptions can vary
