Looks like you have done some research! Have a hunt booked?

From my limited Elephant research is seems Zimbabwe has good prices, possibly smaller tusks? Botswana has a great reputation for lots of elephants. Zambia and Tanzania are just really expensive to hunt, travel to, but do have the chance at huge bulls. I have seen good things about Namibia which...

I have seen elephant prices all over the place from $5,000 tuskless/problem animals up to your mentioned $100,000 hunt. For $100K I would expect a big trophy 60#++ and also a buffalo and lots of other plains game thrown in gratis! The big difference is price for a lot of these hunts is...

Which country do you prefer? Say for a buffalo hunt, or maybe an Elephant? With a few plains game as an option. Do they both have English speakers? Ease of travel? How do they compare- on whatever criteria you want?

Link to the write up on your hunt? If not please do share when, where etc !

How does a cow Rhino compare to a male? Body size? Horn length? I have never thought of it before….. Also what dates would work for this hunt?

Are these elephants importable to the US?

If going to RSA don’t worry and use Henry @Rifle permits. Do what he says. If traveling more exotic airlines then uniformed ticketing agents will be the biggest concern. Especially if connecting in a liberal big city (Europe ) where guns are evil! One thing to watch was the limit on weight of...

Where are you from? And what are you planning to hunt? Local air taxis can be particular about who and where they drop people depending on what they are doing. Also many local air taxis, especially for hunts have gone to the flat rate model and are charging a lot more for trips, especially...

I would say Greenland was one of my best hunting trips I have ever been on. Definitely would recommend it. AK caribou can be hit or miss.... more miss lately. If you have realistic expectations and not picky on what you shoot then it can still be ok.

I have killed all 10 with a bow but have not registered it. As to the super slam I have 23/29 most with a bow and a few with a rifle. Was a life goal to finish it, Probably would have been done with all 29 but got distracted hunting Africa! :D

My buddy had a homeless guy squatting in a garage he owned. Tried to make a deal with him- mow the lawn once a week with the provided mower annd gas then he could stay there. Was turned down by the squatter saying it was too much and he wasn’t accustomed to work

We went to Georgetown TX to see the totality. There is a night and day difference between 99% and 100%. Like turning off the lights! Hard to explain just have to experience it. I also saw the one in 2017 in Casper WY

That was an 8wt, very lucky and had a good buddy with net. Was fishing for reds that day. I have broken an 8wt rod on kings before I learned when to give up I normally use a 10wt if targeting kings

Here is one I managed to land. Have lost many to the current. Have you caught Kings before? Fished Alaska?
