I would absolutely love to, but like many here an African hunt would cost more than I make in a year. Most of us are just working stiffs with kids and mortgages.
From what little research I've done, and none recently, you're looking at $50,000 USD and up for an African hunt by the time the dust clears.
Corriea & Sunray,
I am going to be a bit abrupt here and nip this misconception in the butt right here and now.
You can do a quality plains game hunt in Africa for under $5000 no problem.
You can do a real nice dangerous game hunt for buffalo or tuskless cow elephant for under $10,000 and that is after the dust has cleared.
If you want to spend $50,000 on a hunt you can but it would be a fullmeal full bag deal with elephant, lion, leapord, buff and all the plains game you could stand.
Corriea,
I am a working stiff as well with two kids and a mortage. Hunting africa is cheaper nowdays than many hunts right here in the good ole USA. It's all a matter of priorities. In any case my question is why would a hunter be morally opposed to the legal sport hunting of hunting and killing of elephants? It really has notthing to do with anybodies finances.
Now I think I'll have my servants get me my smoking jacket and slippers so that I can review the financials around my vast empire.
12-34,
I agree with you and you should go hunt buff soon it's an unbelievable experience and unless you make less than $6000,00 a year you can even do it for less than you make in a year.
NRA and other,
All of the leagally killed elephants that I know of are processed for food.
I don't mean to be to rough with anybody. I would just like to clear up the price missconception about African hunting. It's not free and it will cost some money, but it's way more affordable than many think. I believe that Africa is the best hunting buy in the world. And it is available to all budgets.
I meet all sorts and book hunts for all income levels. I've booked cops, butchers and retired military people. I've also booked ungoddly rich people. But the fact of the matter is Africa is really quite an obtainable goal for most any hunter with the desire.
