Lindon why the difference in the day rate for trophy vs non trophy? Are not your expenses the same?

 

[Mbalabala Safaris]

CAustin
We normally do a lot more mileage on a trophy bull hunt. We also use a few more staff in the trophy hunts.

Hi lindon , i have 2 good trophy bulls so please tell me what to expect on a non trophy bull hunt , . are you asked to take the first bull you come on ??

 

[Mbalabala Safaris]

Hi ianevans
Not at all. We have lots of bulls and big herds to looks over when we find the right bull we can take him.

Jut out of curiosity; non-trophy bull = tuskless?

 

[Royal27]

Jut out of curiosity; non-trophy bull = tuskless?

No, it will mean broken tusk or a mature bull with small ivory estimated to be under a certain weight. It won't be Tuskless, or likely won't be. Tuskless bulls occur, but are very rare to my understanding.

I hunted Ellie bull with these guys last year October... FANTASTIC and there are MANY bulls to look over. I got impatient and shot a 50lber on the 3rd day..2 days later we had an 80 lber 10m from the vehicle!! I can really recommend Lin and Tienie for this hunting experience.

Yes they can be exportable if you upgrade by $2000.

Why 2k to make it importable?

 

[Mbalabala Safaris]

Why 2k to make it importable?

It’s just an upgrade on the trophy fee as I have to pay two different prices for trophies and non trophies.

Roughly yes. But we can negotiate.
