Could you explain the $10K Resource Utilization fee? First time I've heard of that charge.

Please explain the ridiculous comment.

$45,000 for a Bots ele bull doesn't seem ridiculous at all to me.

Neither does $23,000 for Leopard.

Am I missing something?

How about import of ivory?
Also any question seems legitimate

Resource Utilization Fee is what must be paid to the community.

The Ivory is exportable from Botswana.

Someone needs to take that Leopard!

Thank you fairgame. We are hoping someone takes this leopard. No one has hunted this area in over 7 years. Even while hunting previously success rate was very high. We expect this to be even better.

Are you pre-baiting for the leopard and what are the bait options and prices? Observer fees?

Cheers

Go for it, Jim!

Hello Frostbit
Yes Jaco will prebait before your arrival. All included. No Extras. Observers day rate is $200. I’m currently in Bots hunting with Jaco. We may not have service for a couple days, but I will get back with you as soon as I have service. I can also have Jaco phone you if you would like.

Thanks

Matt

I have no connection to Nkwe Safaris but given the price, what's included, and a 7 year lull in hunting makes me believe I could get a leopard on bait.

I would agree that the ivory would be exportable, but I believe a permit to import into the US would be very hard to get. However, the total price does seem reasonable for what might be a fantastic opportunity.

I saw a similar hunt offered by a competitor at $85,000.

for some reason I didn't think you could use bait in Botswana. Have things changed?

Yes sir. We can absolutely use bait.

Thank you

Price is excellent of that there is no doubt BUT like Zimbabwe I do not believe you will see any Bots Ivory getting back to the States any time soon. I hope I am wrong!

For lions they didn't use bait, leopards they've always used bait in Botswana.
