I know you guys like to see the results of hunts posted here, so here they are. Both Hunters have taken great bulls on this hunt. Below is a picture of the first clients bull and I will let the other client post his pictures when he returns. He's a poster here, and I don't want to steal his thunder!

Dates: September 2010

We have an outstanding price on a trophy elephant in the chobe for 2010. This is a 10 day hunt for trophy bull elephant in the chobe area ch8 with Butler and Holbrow Safaris. The permit was purchased at a recent auction and is available as the result of a client not sending a deposit when he booked the hunt. The hunts with this outfit in 2010 were $41,000 plus a trophy fee of $10,000 if the elephant was shot, but this hunt is priced as follows:

$25,000.00 - TOTAL PRICE INCLUDING DAILY RATES, TROPHY FEE AND LICENSE FOR ELEPHANT

This hunt includes daily rates, trophy fee, government concession fees, VAT, license for 1 elephant, daily laundry, all meals and alcoholic drinks in moderation.

Excluded are flights to and from Kasane, Botswana, dipping and packing, shipment of trophies, gun import permits @$150/gun, ground transfer to and from area and gratuities if warranted.

These are the dates of the cancellation, we can do this hunt until November 30 of this year do to an extension of the season in CH8. Please check with us for other available dates:

September 2, 2010 - Arrive Kasane Botswana and travel to camp
September 3-12, 2010 - Hunt 10 days for elephant
September 13, 2010 - Depart camp to Kasane and homeward bound

UPDATE: We now have 2 bulls, and they need to get them both sold. We can do 1 bull at $25,000, or a hunter can shoot both bulls for $39,500!

THAT'S 2 FULLY INCLUSIVE BOTSWANA ELEPHANTS FOR UNDER $40,000! FOLKS THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST DEALS WE HAVE HONESTLY EVER SEEN!

HUNTERS CAN ALSO DO A 2X1 HUNT AND BRING A FRIEND, SPLITTING THE COST

In the last month, we have sent 2 clients to this area and both shot bulls over 50 lbs, with the largest of the two bulls being over 60 lbs. One of the clients is a poster here on AR.

Here is a photo of one of the bulls taken on this hunt, the other member of AR can post his photo if he wants it on here, I just don't want to steal his thunder. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.




Thanks guys!

Guys, I returned from this hunt one week ago. I had the time of my life. The bull I took is estimated at just over 50 lbs. but I turned down three bulls with heavier ivory early in the hunt before taking mine on day seven. He was in a herd of 15 bulls that took exception to one of their own being shot. They surged toward us several times--only departing when the PH (Gareth Flemix) shot a noise making device over their heads. I can not recommend this hunt or Gareth highly enough to do it justice. Greg, feel free to post pictures.

Thanks Tom - below is the photo of the bull spoken about in his post, taken last week:

Ernest,

YOU CAN DO IT....

no I can't

Neither can this Ernest.... but with Ernie the Elephant, anything is possible! Unfortunately, he's in Northeast Alabama with Safari Lawyer after officiating on a buff/leopard hunt.

Dang, I'm going to be in Chete on the subject dates, or I'd be rearranging a schedule or two!

What a good deal!

Where did little Ernest elephant hair bracelet go???
Larry

I also thought I would mention to call me at the office or email if you are interested, it's much easier to get in touch with me that way than to PM me.

Thanks!

I've forwarded Ernie on to Jeff H who plans to introduce him to Zambia beginning on about August 14.

As for the deal . . . Wow.

What a great deal. Even though I had a great hunt in June, I would do this hunt in a New York Minute. Just need money and time...

Pics added to the top post. The top pic was the first bull taken.

Is that Retreever in the above picture with the bolt trash? If so I reckon I could take the Famars off your hands now that it apprears you are not using it for its intended use!!

Congratulations on the hunt!!

No. I don't think that's Retreever - looks a bit like him though.

Correct, not Retreever!

Be assured guys I only wish it was me. Yes, That Famars 450#2 would par take in the shooting. I still have another elephant bull in my bucket list.

AR Colleagues,

I'm back from this hunt and we had a great time. I'm posting this photo as mentioned by Greg Brownlee but am working on my report over the next few days. I took a nice old bull up close and personal at 15 yards out of a group of 4...it was incredibly exciting. I did a classic side brain shot and he was dead before hitting the ground...which as you can imagine having an animal that weighs that much go down is something you will never forget. the tusks dress out to 42 and 43 pounds mostly due to "monster" nerves according to the skinner. I'll give some details and send you some photo links in the next week or so....meanwhile here is a teaser.

Thanks
Paul

Great Job, Paul. I'm looking forward to the full hunt report.

'Elephant hunter' welcome home.
