Elephant in TZ?
#40886 - 07/11/05 07:36 PM

How are the ele's in Tanzania? I am planning an elephant hunt sometime in the next couple years. I will probably go with Botswana, but TZ is pretty tempting in that I could basically do a big 4 there for the cost of a botswana elephant. It kind of makes me nervous that you can't shoot an ele less then 55lbs. Obviously I would like something 65 or more but if it comes down to it on the last day of the safari I don't want my hands tied. Are Ele's larger then 55 easy to come by and if so what would be considered an average shooter in TZ? If anyone has experience in both Botswana and Tanzania with elephant let me know your impression.

I was in Kigosi, western TZ, the end of September. If I remember correctly, there were 4 or 5 bulls shot on the concession. The last one shot was close to 80lbs. I saw a group of 4 bulls while hunting sitatunga that had at least two legal bulls. The PH's did not seem to have much trouble getting clients onto shootable bulls.
