I have a elephant bull available to be hunted as soon as possible. There are several elephants causing havoc amongst two fields of the local popultion's crops in our Khaudum North Complex, and they want us to shoot some of them. As we do not have time to wait for a problem animal to be declared, I am willing to offer these hunts on my trophy quota. (I am starting one tomorrow, one other left.)

This means that the elephant trophy is fully exportable, from an area that you have a sporting chance of finding a really big bull. (Though you would be expected to shoot a bull of around 40lbs if such a bull is found first.)

Deposit/ dayfees US$ 7 000
Trophy fee US$ 15 000
Total cost of hunt: US$ 22 000
(Above includes all dayfees, drive in from Windhoek and back, food/ drinks/ accomodation in hunting camp only, services of a big game PH and camp staff/ trackers/ skinners, hunting permit. It excludes all extra game hunted, all taxidermy and dip/ pack/ ship costs, and any items of a personal nature.)

Other game available with trophy prices in US$ are:
kudu 1200
oryx 700
warthog/ steenbok/ duiker 400
hyena 700

(This is only valid for someone that can come within the next two weeks.)
PH for the hunt will be either me or Vaughn Fulton.

If anyone is interested, contact my wife on info@huntingsafaris.net or the following agents:
North America L.David Keith ( hunts@grayghostsafaris.com )
Europe Kjetil Dalheim ( post@huntersworld.no )

If you want to speak to me, i will be available on the following satelite number: +88 163 166 9264 (I will be available on that 19h00 to 21h00 local time every night.
(my cell +264 81 1285 416 will be off 99.5% of the time.)

Karl,

I really like your pricing structure; low daily rates and a reasonable trophy fee. It puts the pressure on both parties -- me and you.

No offense to the big money folks, but I kind of hope the economy stays in the tanks (assuming that's what's keeping prices low). The missus OK'ed a 2011 $20K'ish hunt for exportable ele if I can find one after we move this Summer.

I wished I could go-----I would be there in a heart beat!

good luck on the hunt

Matt, keep in touch as we may can find you an Elephant in your price range by next season. If so, they don't last long so drop me line from time to time and I'll keep you posted.

Sounds dubious and rather we wait till the elephants are declared problem as such.

Not available anymore

Sold or withdrawn?

What do you mean? He stated clearly the animals are problem animals but have not been declared as such, and that he is using some of his trophy quota to expedite this hunt. Being a trophy hunt makes the animal exportable, so one should wait until the animal is declared a problem to not be able to bring home a trophy??? It appears/appeared to me to be quite a discount on an trophy Elephant hunt even if the animal is causing no problems.

Sold or withdrawn?

One sold, other withdrawn, as they have now moved off and seeing that it is the end of the rainly season, will likely only be back in numbers around November.

jcarr, thanks for the explanation.
