I know Zebra and Hippo are great for Lion but how good is Elephant meat for Lion bait? | ||

I think that, a day or another, threre will be a bait "a la carte"  I really believe that, more or less, the meat origin does not matter, more important I think is that it smell a lot bye Stefano Waidmannsheil | |||

Elephant are good bait provided the lion haven't been over hunted or educted. The nice thing is, there is enough meat to hold a pride for a day or seven and you can often track the pride down in daylight even if you don't catch them on the bait, as they will seldom go far from such a "windfall" | |||

Nothing works better than a can of cat food from the local pet shop Don't forget hippo where it is found.....or donkey meat in Masaailand..... "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A.

So, would you kill a Rolls-Royce to catch a Mercedes? Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

I shot my lion over a bait that consisted of the hind legs of my Elephant. They, one male and four females, devoured the first leg on the first night. The next morning we "freshened" the bait with the other leg. They never went far from the site, they seem to love that sticky, smelly meat. The three lion baits we set up with buffalo meat were only hit by one leopard. The hyenas ate the bait we set up with an eland. Location seemed to be the most important factor.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||
