Hunt sold.

Outfitter: Greg Butler Safaris

Agent: Jeff C. Neal, Inc. (918-299-3580 www.jeffcnealinc.com )

Area: Sichafula GMA, Zambia

Dates: Any 18 days between September 14 - October 31, 2012



Greg Butler had a big cancellation in Zambia from a client who had his entire quota reserved. This hunt is nearly 60% off and includes the government fees for an 18 day hunt! This concession lies on the southern side of Kafue National Park and is one of only a handful of concessions in Zambia that has no villages in it. These hunts can be taken between September 15 and the end of October 2012. Because this client had the entire quota reserved for this year, there has not been another hunter in the concession all year long. You will be the first hunter in, and the ONLY lion hunter in 2012 regardless of the outcome of this safari!

This will be the only lion taken in this concession in 2012. The lion below was taken here in October 2011 on the 7th day of the safari, which was the only lion taken and the only lion hunter to hunt here last year. This cat was taken after passing on 4 other mature male cats.

Hunts are 18 days in length and are based out of tented camps in the center of the concession. This area is a great place for lion, but also excellent for big black sable bulls and roan. Hunters need to fly into Victoria Falls where they are picked up and driven to camp (included in the cost).

Generally the daily rates for this hunt are $45,000.00 plus $6,500.00 in government fees, but this hunt has been reduced to $25,000.00 including the government fees That price includes daily rates for 18 days on a 1x1 basis, government concession fees, transfer to the area, meals, lodging.

Excluded are observers at $250/day, trophy fees for lion and other species desired (below), dip and pack and shipping of trophies (dependent on how many animals you take, likely $500-$1500) and gratuities to guides if warranted.

Baboon - $120

Bushpig $430
Duiker $350
Eland - $3,000

Same deal for a leopard, government fees and transport included. EXTRAS AND TROPHY FEES ARE ABOVE PLUS LEOPARD TROPHY FEE OF $4500

Greg,

I see a Leopard in that one picture but do not see one listed on the trophy fees. Is there a Leopard on quota?

Cheers
Jim

They do have a leopard on quota, but it wasn't on the list for this particular hunt. I can check and see what the upgrade cost will be if you'd like, though I know you just got home a few weeks ago!

Don't check for me Greg. I just wondered if you might have missed it in your ad that's all.

This is a screaming deal based on cost and if I didn't have to work for a living I'd probably go back and do it.

Cheers
Jim

Bet this doesn't last long!

Greg,

What do they typically use as "lion bait" for this area? Seems like a great offer!

Jim

Greg:

I sent an email.

Which GMA? Sichifulo or Mulobezi?

Jim,

Typically they use anything they shoot, whether it be sable, roan or buffalo. Without hippos you have to use whatever it takes!

Greg

A FRICKING STEAL!!! SOMEONE GOING TO GET ONE HALF OFF.

how big is the concession

I'll have to get back with you on that, it's a big concession though (probably in excess of 500,000 acres).

Greg

That is a heck of a "full bag" safari. I did not realize that Sichafula was producing like this..thought it was a " depleted area"..I may be thinking of Mulobezi GMA.

The big three plus sable & roan...dont see that very often these days.

Greg I am sure this will move quick.

I have all of the details. Kelly Butler gave them to me when they learned my Save hunt is in jeopardy. If anyone want them, PM me your e mail address and I will send them.

Leopard are available.

Yep, one is but not with this hunt. It's a separate deal.

Hunt sold pending receipt of deposit.

Greg and Kelly are good people. i hunted leopard with them( Darren Smit- PH) in Bots 6 years ago on a hunt with dogs. someone is getting an absolute steal and best of luck to however it is. glad to hear Greg is expanding outside of Botswana.

Leopard hunt added, this hunt is still available as the dates conflicted with another hunt for the client interested.

I'm not a potential buyer, but the posts are confusing. If still available, please repost the details. Otherwise, it sounds like someone got a great deal.
