Lin Stanton has some relatively inexpensive elephant hunts available in Marula on the Botswana border.

TROPHY BULL

1x1 10 days $1,000 per day
Elephant trophy fee $20,000 (Expect 30#-40#)
Ranger fee $50 per day
2% tax on daily fees
4% on trophy fee

NON TROPHY BULL

1X1 7 days $1,150 per day
Elephant trophy fee $9,500 (under 30# or broken tusk bull)
Ranger $50 per day
2% tax on daily fees
4% tax trophy fees

Road transfer for both hunts $400 Bulawayo-Marula-Bulawayo

Elephants are fully importable to the USA and CITES permits are coming thru quickly.

Joe Coogan who hunted with Harry Selby in Botswana for many years told me that walking up to a bull elephant, rifle in hand with the intent to kill that elephant is an unmatched experience. I totally agree after doing it. These hunts offer that without the $60,000 ++ price tag.

Call me on this one?

Cheers,

I had the pleasure of that experience twice. Nothing comparable. An experience you frequently relive.

Mark, I'm wondering why the daily fee for a mom-trophy is more that for a trophy bull?

I don't make the pricing but I agree it is odd.
