Are the bulls pictured Non Trophy? On average how many days do hunters take to find and kill a Non Trophy bull? Are extra days at the same daily rate quoted ? Thank you

I don't think the elephants pictured are non-trophy, unless the outfitter has an area with a lot of 100 Ibs tuskers. May be non-exportable trophy are meant.

Yes that’s correct all those bulls were shot as non trophies. Yes extra days can be added.
Normall 4-5 days and we have found a non trophy.

Yes they were all shot as non trophies. Yes the one bull was bigger than we expected. But they were all shot on the same pricing.

If I understand correctly, this hunt is also left to chance and if something bigger comes, it will be also shot. Something is not clear to me in this concept, because the elephants on the pictures can also be viewed as trophy elephants and the price difference normally is big. Hence ma question :

What do you mean by elephant trophy-hunting?

Many hunters who have booked elephants trophy-hunts must be satisfied when they have tuskers like that pictured, or has something changed in recent years regarding the weight of the trophies ?

We alway try and hunt mature bulls that are under 30 lbs. this is left to the ph discretion.
Non trophy or non export bull are mainly for countries that cannot import elephant. Or for those that are not interested in shooting big trophies.
If a big bull is spotted and the hunter decides he would like to try export than a trophy fee can be negotiated.
In the instance of the bull you see in the picture the hunter was from Australia and was unable to import it. I looked at the bull and guessed around 30 lbs but turned out to be a little bigger as he had a massive body. Our intentions with non trophies is to allow for cheaper hunts due to the worldwide bans that are starting.

How far is the drive from Victoria Falls?

Just to be sure. elephants are getting imported into US. i will be importing mine with the help of Conservation Force. I think the key is all the paperwork that has to be done and is the outfitter used to and successfully shown ability to do so. just my two cents. I know I made sure of this before I booked my hunt for this April

 

[V.Veritas]

As of late last year (2023) elephant trophys can no longer be imported into Canada.

yes 100% I have imported elephant successfully into the states recently.
Some guy however prefer not to import due to the extra cost.

Also Canadians cannot take firearms to Zimbabwe.
