I posted a note here in December about a bongo hunt in Cameroun. I will attach it below. At that time several people were extremely interested, one even sent a deposit, but as of today all have backed out. I would still like to go this July and take a hunter with me. I think it represents a very good chance at bongo and other forest animals for a very reasonable cost. I will drop the pricing to $14,000 if someone would like to go along with me. This is not a self guided hunt but a guided one with myself as your guide.

December post: NEW BONGO AREA
A number of you have been following the self guided hunts I organize in Cameroun. I have just returned from a very successful prospection to a new area. I have managed to locate a zone that has a very healthy population of the magnificent bongo. I have been negotiating with the chief of the village to let me go in and try out the area for about 2 years. I finally got permission and we went in for an exploratory trip just this month. It was successful beyond my wildest dreams.
Although it is a 20 km. walk to get into the area, once there we found absolutely no signs of poaching. No snares and no hunter camps. We got into bongo almost immediately, but were able to put up only young or females from the herds the first few days. On day 8 we finally got a solitary male and were able to bring him to bay with our 2 dogs. All the initial tracking is done with the local hunters, who are very skilled at this. The dogs are only released at the last moment, making it a very enjoyable hunt. All of the hunt is conducted on foot from fly camps 20km. from the nearest road. I provide all the major camp equipment and all the support staff and transport. You bring your gun and personal equipment, or I can even loan a nice gun if needed.
I took the opportunity to build a number of blinds so that we could sit over some of the numerous salt licks found in the zone. I am planning on returning once the rains come back in July of this year. If anyone is interested they are welcome to contact or PM me.
Other animals in the area are forest buffalo, red river hogs, duikers, forest sitatunga, giant forest hogs, harnessed bushbuck and more.
Since I have never spent the time to learn how to post the photos here on-line the following link will take you to a photo of the bongo Chris shot just a week ago:

Cost will be $15,000 if you come with me. This will cover everything except the trophy fees and costs associated with export of anything you harvest. If you want to do a self guided hunt it can be arranged for $10,000 all inclusive each for 2 people or $11,000 if you go alone. If you look up my posts or those about me you will see I have been doing this very successfully for a long time, but this is the first time I have what I consider a very good bongo area.
