No takers? Botswana seems a bit pricey thus limiting those who have gone…

I may need to go and report back

Ethakalu Safaris, Allen Becker, is a great guy to hunt with, very good elephant and leopard hunter.

Heard many good things about Tholo, everyone knows the ranch side but heard very good elephant hunting reports

 

[Hunting Hitman]

Tholo Safaris is excellent! I hunted in CH8 with Steve Van Der Merwe there and took a 72 pounder. The are simply the best.

Botswana has a pretty wide spread in cost reflective of both the area, the outfitter, and the trophy potential. Excluding cancellations, it can be hunted for $40k or over $100k depending on what you’re looking for.

Budget, and trophy expectation will dictate

I hunted with Johan Calitz Safaris in NG41 near Mababe. Took a 76x70. Can also check with Jeff Rann if you can get ahold of him. Try Clive Eaton as well.

Gerard Koch with SV Safaris.
He has concession for CH 1. There last year for cape buffalo. Saw plenty of elephants. Party booked b4 my hunt got 2 and guy booked during my hunt got 1.
AAA+ camp, staff and PH's.
Good luck.

What a bull. If he wasn't broken from all the fighting and tree bashing, he would have been a legendary 100+ pounder. Congratulations on a magnificent old bull.

My PH with JCS, Ronnie Craus, helped a client get a 109 x 105 last April.

Is that the one with the video currently available on the Safari Classics app? Can’t imagine there were two that size taken last year. Wonderful bull.
