Anybody out there ever darted a Rhino with a Bow? Any sugesstions on how to set up my equipment to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Going in May -- I know that the draw weight must be greatly reduced, but would like to know if anyone who haunts AR has actually done this, or if you'all could put me in touch with someone who has.

Thanks in advance.

Careful "Spiral Horn" some here will call that a "stunt hunt" an suggest a 600 NE as t he only weapon to do it with Smiler

no no cats - not a 600 - just a hypodermic needle. Sneak up behind the creature and jab him kinda like apygmy does in all the old tarzan movies

why not just build a fire ontop of a pit and watch him fall in as he tries to snuff it out?

Safari Hunter's Journal the TV show did a show where the host Steve Scott darted a rhino with a bow. From memory, I can't recall much about the setup.

Maybe he would be willing to chat about it or answer some questions. Maybe you could gleen some info off his website.

the show's website
