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)

This is for the GAGU Lodge located in the NE Province/Zululand! (About 4 hours from Jo'burg) Also, my ticket was about $2,300 but I have met and heard of people getting tickets for the $1,800 - $2,000 range in coach seating. Hopefully with dropping fuel charges ticket pricing may lighten up some.
Not sure what my animals will cost to ship to Houston (capes/horns only) but my PH was thinking about $1,000 in about 90 more days for my 7 critters. Then the wildcard of whatever my taxidermist charges!

Guys, your animals are just awesome. I have to go back and get one of those nyala. Want one of those as much as I wanted my kudu. Everyone, you can click on Dare to Bowhunts banner to get more info on there trophy fees for other animals. When you have the daily fees taken care of you really need to take advantage of the animals then. This will be a great hunt for someone. Wish it was to be taken in about five years from now. Just to soon to go back right now. Bob

I sent Lammie an email to find out if the winner will be booking the rest of their trophies on the 2008 or 2009 rates.
Bobby, Russell is pretty much on target with the airfare prices. Our airfare was $1,700.00 because we received a group rate.
Payment will need to be made within 10 days after the closing of the auction; preferably by Paypal or credit card. Please contact me if you prefer to pay by another method.
I know on our safari, the costs were spread out. After the initial payment for this hunt, you will have a while before your airfare is due. I am not sure if Lammie will require a deposit on the other trophies or not. Our concession did not. Your next payment will probably be for your trophies and tips, etc. after your hunt. If you have your animals dipped and shipped, your next payment will be around 4-6 months. If your taxi does not require a deposit, ours did not. Once your trophies arrive, you can have them mounted as your budget allows. Prior to our hunt, I did not realize the costs were so spreadout. Of course, all concession are different.

I can definitely agree with that! I was prepared to pay the taxidermist over there for my "dip & ship" before I left. I was also prepared to pay the shipping company here to coordinate the process. All these payments are 3-6 months out. Personally, I wish it was all faster!

I have to agree with you on that Oscar, my return is about 4 months. Not sure if I can wait that long to put my hands back on the kudu . Bob

Glad to see a good response to the auction! We will not require any money up front from the winner. The hunt will take place in Zululand (Gagu), however if the winner would like to hunt 2 areas, additional days can be added to the hunt check our pricing on our website ( www.daretobowhunt.co.za) and the pricing will be off the 2009 pricelist. Airfare can vary from $1500 - $2300. Depends on the route you take and how early you book. I know Delta has been cheap before but I am not sure how they look for 2009. Yes, the payment is spaced out, airfare is booked whenever you are ready to book it, you only pay us after the hunt, and taxidermists are only paid in about 4-6 months after the hunt. Please post any questions here. We will get to them as soon as we can!
