Yes, there are bigger nyala! I saw a group of 12 bulls one evening. Several were young bulls But there were also some STUDS! I saw one that was at least 29 inches. Truly at great trophy. I would have loved to shoot one of these awesome animals, but it was a little out of my price range. I did get a lot of pix. If anyone would like to see any of my pix from the gagu Lodge, send me an e mail at dmarcasol@aol.com

Skeeter, how about posting the content of that explanation email for all of us or email it to me at russ.davis@embarqmail.com .


I bid $750.00


PS: I think the minimum raise of the bid should be $100.00, to weed out the $1 mores.

Can someone post up a rough ballpark figure for airfare and other costs that you would incur? Thanks. How much more in trophy fees would you need to have a "complete" hunt. Thanks for any info.

If booked right now on Expedia, for Mid-Jul 09: $2200 - $2400 per person for airfare. I think you can beat that deal with a company that books these flights regularly.

Transport of capes and skulls back to the US is about $250.00 per animal.

It looks like the Outfitter has several consessions to hunt and the package could dictate where you can hunt and what is avaialable in the area. But, here is the rundown of what I looked at:

Blesbuck $400
Common Duiker $300
Impala $300 - $500 (horn length)
Common Reedbuck $800
Warthog $300 - $600 (tusk length)
Zebra $1200
Blue Wildebeest $900.00

So, you can spend as much as you can scrape up between now and then.

Additional days will add the daily rates for those days. $350 / day (I think)
