Hi Everyone
I just had a cancellation from one of my clients on a Non Exportable Elephant hunt.

7 day Non Expo Elephant hunt
$12000.00 All included

You can add an Observer for $700.00 for the 7 Days

Accommodation Includes
01. Service of a Licensed Professional Hunter
02. The service of trained trackers
03. The service of trained skinners
04. Hunting vehicle
05. Field preparation of trophies
06. Accommodation, meals and soft drinks as well as beer and wine in moderation
07. Daily laundry service
08. Airport pick up at Polokwane airport

What does "non-exportable" mean in the context of RSA where almost all the hunting is done on private land ... is there a problem getting a CITES permit for this particular hunt? If so, why?

It all depends on what permit is applied for.

There are 4 different applications one can apply for.
In this case the application is under no.2

1. Sport Hunting permit including CITES Quota
2. Sport Hunting permit excluding CITES Quota
3. Culling permit permit excluding CITES Quota
4. Damage Causing Animal excluding CITES Quota.

I assume there is no big deal getting a type 1 permit, so again it seems strange that you would kill an elephant and not submit the right paperwork to make it exportable.

Or is the size of the ivory limited so it would not be worth the few extra bucks for the export permit?
