A cheap option with an outfitter for elephant hunting is so-called PAC elephants.

Also end of season "specials" by outfitters can be very competitive.

If the price is very good they can go very quickly and are often offered to previous clients first. You may have to settle for limited dates as well.

Most of these hunts are in the hotter months. PAC in Zim is often in December and March for crop raiders I believe. But sometimes can be had at anytime if one is lucky and in the right place. I was offered one in August this year but we were "negotiating" on price and wanted to shoot the trophy fee elephant off first so the second one could be free

. Otherwise they might have claimed the trophy fee on the "PAC" ele. A turned over truck prevented us from getting there on the day as well.

In any case I shot one first for free by luck anyway, and unfortunately only shot the "trophy fee" cow on the last morning. In the end I might have had opportunities on four elephants for the price of one, but I'm not complaining as the hunting I did was fun.
