I really hate an offer without a price. Most of us want to have an idea of what we're getting ourselves into. Perhaps it's worth your time to add that below.

Moreover, I think it is the forum rule, when posting a hunt offer to be with all details, including prices.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Agreed, it is annoying. What is to be gained by this approach?

Probably just doesn’t know. Likely will be back with the rest of the info.

Sorry gentleman
I was in the mountains in Georgia and had no signal the last 24 hours. Excuse for the prices the prices not being added. I was just informing about quota that I have left. I am more than happy to add the prices for everybody.

How about the own use buffalo price?

 

[Rare Breed]

Wow no disrespect intended but so many more better value offers on here

 

[WAB]

Those seem like fair prices for the Caprivi.

 

[Rare Breed]

I trust your experience WAB…my apologies!

 

[Rare Breed]

My problem is at DSC a 16 day leopard hunt in the same area went for $20K so clouded my judgement

Caprivi is expensive. Zana is a great PH and worth taking a look at for sure. I’ve hunted with him.

I went on a discounted dangerous game hunt. It is said we gain wisdom by making mistakes.

I learned to fully vet any offers with phone calls to a half dozen of their past clients. I want to hear the inflection in one's voice as I ask hard questions.

Why so many references, because what may be a bad hunt for me may have been loved by several other clients. Now, if one of those references was a known experienced African hunter, I might not need so many references. I will still want to discuss their experiences with other hunters.

One doesn't get any more wiser the second time they get kicked by a mule...

Magnificent area! Harvested an Elephant and Buffalo in the Caprivi (Zambezi Valley) last Nov. These are good prices for the area.

You mentioned an "own use" elephant hunt. What are the particulars on that deal? See you at SCI

You are very right Sir. Asking the questions and doing homework is very important. References is always a good way to ask about the things you would like to know.

Thank you Sir

Yes own use elephant is usually a specific time of the year. The elephant is hunted for the community festival that takes place.
It is usually around September. We are still waiting for the final dates from the community chief.

The own use Elephant has already been taken.
We only have one 1 trophy elephant left and one trophy buffalo left for 2023.
