Ace, those are some good deals! What area specifically on the boarder of Gonarezhou and Mozambique are you talking about? Mahenye?

Cheers

Hey Thierry,

Yes, Mahenye - you know the area well! Some great bulls are taken there every year!

We need to have a beer soon!

Thanks and for sure we must have a drink. I'm thinking more than "a" beer though...

Hey Theirry,

Do YOU want to come and hunt with me...!

I give you good price!

If Smythie drinks more than a beer he will look like an old long nose after too many Marula's Terry! Sorry I missed you at SCI it was hectic!

Phillip. What is the chances of getting bulls +60lbs......prepared to pay more....I have two that will take them....and they are exportable buddy! NOT USA clients.

Charl!! HAHAHA - okay okay!

As you know +60lb bulls you have to go into the area where they are and THEN rely on the numbers game (look over the elephant until you fid the one you are looking for) - the +60lb bulls are here, we are sitting with an average of 59lbs - so obviously some bigger and some smaller.

"To shoot great bulls, you have to pass up big bulls!"

Later in the year is better for these - End of October, November - when it is dry and the elephants are more concentrated.

I've sent you a PM.

The elephant hunt looks exceptional. However, one question: if the elephant can't be imported to the US, why a dip and pack fee of $1100 if nothing is going to be dipped and packed? Secondly, is there a provision for storage of the tusks and skull should the importation be allowed in the future?
Just curious.

Hi Cal,

The dip and pack fee is exactly there for what you have said re: storage and finally exporting.

Firstly - if an non US citizen hunted this elephant then the dip and pack fee applies - as he can export it and with that comes the associated fee.

secondly - If a US citizen hunted this elephant and would want to keep the ivory in Zimbabwe until such time as the ban is lifted then the dip and pack fee applies, as this would be put towards getting his/her trophy to the US.

If you wanted to GIVE me the ivory after you shoot it Cal, I'll take the dip and pack off!
