I took my first whitetail with a bow when I was young kid and never dreamed I would be able to chase big 5 animals. My dreams have slowly become reality after taking a good buff this year. I'm anxious to wait on an elephant because they could put a stop to hunting them at anytime. Does anybody have actual archery elephant experience or have any contact information for phs that are willing to take a bow guy?
 
You might want to start with a search to find countries that allow bowhunting elephants. Most do not. I am not a bowhunter, so not much positive help from me but that should narrow your search a bit. Good Luck!!
 
I should have done that when they allowed it in more places. I always wanted to take a Jumbo with a bow. If you find a place please post it here, I would love to see what is offered and what the requirements would be.
 
Yes sir I'll do it

Talk to strangles Middleton in Zambia he specializes in bow hunting the big 5 and has take a few elephant with bow. Zambia is about the only country still doing bow hunts for elephant that I know of.
Do you need to sleep with one eye open? Autocorrect got you on this one.

Thank you! Do you know if he is a member on here?
 
Danie Geel with African bowhunting adventures can get you an Ellie with a bow. If you’re serious about it, give him a call and tell him Joe sent you. If you have questions let me know but he’s the guy.
 
Im looking into this with a friend and is open in Zimbabwe. You must pay the $1,500 dangerous game bow hunting fee, but tags are cheap (cheaper than any other free range country). For what Ive been quoted is around $24k-$27k all in. Success rate is very high as long as you dont get super picky with trying to get above 40lb. Beyond that size/weight it can get steep in price.

I would love more information on this hunt. That price range is doable.

I would love to go back to Zim and get my elephant with a bow there. Forward me any information you can, please?
 
Anyone figure out a way to bow hunt elephant in Zimbabwe?
 
Zambia-- Strang Middleton is your guy!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
