Awesome. Any pictures of your elephant you can share?I took Tokoloshe Safaris up on this offer. I had a wonderful experience hunting with Mike, Sean and Liesl. We ended up with a 30 to 35 lb. bull on day 6. We moved from the forest camp to the lake lodge and I shot a nice old female hippo and a really big hyena. Spent last 3 days at the lodge fishing. Caught a bunch of different types of fish including a 4 foot long (approx. 45 lbs.) Vundu, or giant Zambezi catfish. The water was way too muddy due to rains to do any good on tiger fish, although we did catch a few small ones. last day was spent going to see Victoria Falls. I cannot recommend these folks enough!
Good for you and my compliments on your decision. Well done sir.Franco, I agree with you totally about tusk size. As you can see his left tusk was worn and the right tip had been broken at some time in the past. When we began hunting, Mike asked me what my requirements were. I told him an adult male elephant. Tusk size was irrelevant. Suffice it to say I was very pleasantly surprised.
Im in the same boat i know ill only ever get 1 chance prolly in my life for an elephant. Having something to take home for a reasonable price is a great thing.When I saw the deal headline in the New Post, I instantly thought this must be a small exportable trophy (20 pounds). Hey, this is in my price range.
To me this is a trophy but maybe not to the person who can afford a $50,000 hunt for big tuskers. But for a person with my income, it is a trophy of a lifetime.
The ideal of a "trophy" is different for each individual. With this being an exportable elephant, it is a great opportunity for someone. If I had not spent all my money in Spain and going to Namibia next year, I would jump on this "Trophy" hunt.
Thanks Lon & Liesl for offering this great opportunity! Wish it was me coming on this adventure!
