Hunt is going to be shown on CNN in the 6:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. hour (Chicago time).

About as fair a depiction of a hunt as it gets from the national media.

Well done to Knowlton... very, very brave man to put his balls on the line and invite CNN along on the hunt! Congrats Corey, well done.

Congrats also to Dallas Safari Club for their part in this and also to AR member and PH Hentie Van Heerden.

Nice Verney Carron doubles too....

I think a full showing of the recovery of the meat would be a great addition. I'm interested to see the fallout on this one.

Link to CNN video of hunt.

350,000.00 into straight up conservation, for a species ,that will really benefit. My hat is off, to you, Cory Knowlton, DSC, and Namibia. Thank you all...

Good on Corey.

I would have appreciated CNN more if they discussed how the dollars go to directly fund rhino conservation efforts.

way to go Cory!

Glad you have the character and values to actually do something to benefit the Rhino rather than just talk about it!

Just watched it and my take is that more good than bad can come out of it for several reasons:

1) Thanks CNN for covering it in an impartial manner and not pushing an anti hunting slant

2) Corey has a lot of balls for letting CNN cover this and broadcast it as he is surely target #1 for the anti nuts

3) Great to see that it wasn't a Fluster Cuck hunt and the animal was cleanly put down.

4) Great advertisement for conservation hunting in that it was problem bull that was causing issues that needed to be removed from the ecosystem with a great side benefit for conservation funds.

Bravo to all involved. A win for conservation efforts everywhere.

Fantastic!!! A great presentation for all to see and think about in Conservation through Hunting.

A special thanks to Corey for an incredible effort for standing as a leader in such an emotional volatile issue. It was the right thing to do.

And Hentie's a good fellow, to boot.

Good, well-balanced story.

Bravo!

Good on Corey and Hentie.

Absolutely a great job for Corey!!!!

Screw the Anti's. They don't have a clue.

$350,000 does a lot for conservation....but I think inviting CNN might have done more. Very well done!

Anyone on Twitter can message the CNN reporter Ed Lavander.

Is black rhino the original member of the big five? Or is it interchangeable with white rhino in that big 5 tradition?

I guess I am shocked that CNN was so objective. Well done CNN & Corey.

He certainly put his money where is mouth is and faced the Ass%*&&#%^s

Well done to all parties involved and kudos to Corey for allowing CNN to come out and film the hunt. That was a fair and objective piece written.

Amazing that hunters put their money where their mouth is yet I don't see any checks from the anti's going to Namibia for their black rhino program.

Glad his wife let him go!

Black Rhino was the original member of the Big 5. White Rhino where considered too placid.....


.

I'm surprised that CNN actually covered this in an objective manner. I thought it was very well done and am surprised that they gave it as much time as they did, rather than just showing him shooting it in a 30 second story.

Congratulations to Corey, Hentie and their team on a hunt done very well and the right way.

Black Rhino

Read the original article and was somewhat surprised by the impartial reporting. I was even more surprised when reading a follow up article written by someone else that was also relatively objective.

The article on CNN is here:

CNN Hunting Article

I have not seen the video but the print article was very well done!

Many Thanks to the folks involved that put this together. The only way rhinos will still be part of the animal life on Earth into the 22nd. century, is thru activities such as this.

Great article, especially for the Clinton News Network.

Well done!

News report coming on CNN about the hunt between 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. (Chicago time).

More footage here... Including the reporter getting the heck out of the way!

Great job Corey! I hope the money it put to good use and not wasted.
