I am probably one of those people who have absolutely no desire to shoot ANY rhino.

Whether by rifle or a dart.

Had many opportunities in the past and shot plenty of them with a camera.

Saeed, how could you ever qualify for Big 5 or Dangerous 7 without? I know you want a plaque on the wall and a certificate!

I agree with you, as it doesn’t interest me. I know the funds go to anti poaching and conservation of the species. I also know plenty will do it and help the survival of rhinos and I am all for that.

As I responded in Karl’s post about no more taxidermy for me, or in very rare cases, this may seem contradictory on my part. It’s just that I read that they may only be able to be darted three times before it adversely affects the animal.

To the OP, I’m sorry if I disparaged your offer. That was not my intent. It seems to be a heck of an offer for those so inclined.

Would a potential hunter be able to add days and other game?

I warn you both.
Be careful because very fast some NORMAL people, not like us, will jump in here accusing you to derail a great offer.

Best regardd

Everyone is welcome to post.

I don’t want to hunt a rhino because basically I don’t like to hunt dangerous game on a farm.

I wouldn’t hunt lion or buffalo on a farm either.

I actually wish NORMAL people would come here with all their questions regarding hunting.

I am sure many of us would be more than happy to explain it to them.

And to answer my friend Marcus.

I am not a trophy hunter.

And never will be one.

To the Mosterts,

I hope you are not offended by my comment. It’s a hell of a deal for the opportunity to do a green rhino hunt. It would help if you can offer extra days and other game, but that’s not my business. Good luck with the sale and great hunting to the buyer.


Saeed,

I hope you know I was joking about the plaques and certificates.

Spanishhunter,

I also understand your warning after the brown bear offer.

I know several members here who have darted rhinos and enjoyed it.

That is all that counts.

Everybody is free to do what make them happy.
I dont like this rhino shooting neither. No matter if it is by dart or by bullets. Neither lion or buff or whatever is not wild, I dont even consider that real hunting, but of course I respect people on that business.
Maybe the problem is that different kinds of understanding are all named hunting.
Here in Europe, even the poaching is called hunting and that is a big problem.
Thats why I wanted to explain what real hunting is for me and how it is related and basic for conservation of wildlife.
I respect this offer or any other that is not involving hunting in wild open areas, but for me that is not real hunting and I do not consider it is really a help for the wildlife and biodiversity conservation, but that is only my opinion and I know of several well known PHs that not agree with me.
Regarding the derailing of offers... very sad some people wants others to shut up.
If it is like that this will end being just a place to post offers. I dont even think my posts were out of place or non sense but... better to shut up unless you want to be pointed as a non normal person...

I’m for all legal hunting. I did not add ethical to that. Ethics are personal decisions.

Once again, I am for all legal hunting.

We can’t fight based upon personal beliefs, as antis will attack weaknesses among us.

It is the same with gun rights. I don’t want or need a bump stock, but will not condemn those who do. Give an inch and they take a mile.

Well, I was not talking about ethics.
The strongest point antis are using againts us here in Europe is that hunting is destroying the ecosistems and lessening the biodiversity.
Farming is doing that in many cases, just as livestock or agriculture.
I think we should move towards conservation of wild ecosistems and increase of biodiversity. Hunting is a key tool on that.
I think once they ban or close hunting the wildlife will end soon in many places as it will be no added value on preserving those places. We have many examples of that already.
I am forestry engeneer here in Spain. I manage several properties and you can see a big difference between the before and after.
I have a lot more wildlife including protected speacies and the economic return and value of the land increased.
With that kind of examples is how we can Win against the antis.
Breading lions and releasing it just to be shot short after is not adding value to wildlife, not different, by the way, than shooting a cow.
Is not an ethic issue, is a matter of giving something back to wildlife and society.
We must understand that and move on that direction, in my opinion.

Great offer for those that want to be part of the conServation effort! I would do this just to be able to touch a living breathing rhino in its drug induced sleep! And I do not mean that in any negative way but quite the opposite. Amazing creatures!

Bossie good luck selling this one! A great offer.

It wasn’t too many years ago that RSA outfitters charged $4000+ just for the vet fee and rhino life insurance policy. Great offer…

DCS Member, thank you for the comment, it is common practice that anyone wishing to add days can and may do so if required.

The offer is for a Rhino dart hunt, but should the hunter decide to pursue anything else they are welcome to do so by adding days and trophies.

Hope this finds you well.

jdollar, thank you for the comment, the usual price and cost for a Rhino dart hunt can be anything between 6kand8K USD.

I have always tried to be fair with pricing. This offer is not for a random dart hunt for anyone that wish to hunt or dart a Rhino.

The landowner is busy with DNA testing and microchipping on most of the adult animals. Therefor we have come to a price where it would be fair for both parties to pay only a percentage of the actual costs involved.

In this case permits have to be applied for to allow the process, insurance is also a vital part of the operation.

Best of luck!

I hope some takes up this offer.

Saeed,

A man offered a product, albeit a product neither of us would be be interested in, but you really blasted him. Yeah, probably right. Still feel a bit sorry for the poor guy.

There are lots of funny hunts I would not participate in.

But I won't try stopping anyone doing them.

Lion hunting behind a fence is one of them.

Lots of you here are so against them you are calling for it to banned1

I never did.

In fact I support it, and anyone wishes to do so I wish them the best of luck.

Darting, as far as I am concerned, is a bit of a joke.

Nothing to do with hunting whatsoever.

But, others enjoy it, and it brings some money to the owners.

Which is great.

And like everyone else on this site, it is only MY opinion, and others are never stopped from expressing theirs.

I don't care a wit about SCI awards, but if I did, this looks like a good bargain for someone who wants to check the rhino box. If I cared about the "Big Five" it's the last one I don't have, and one I'll never have.

This is NOT a hunt.

It is DARTING1

Worlds apart from a proper hunt.

We were hunting on a farm on South Africa.

Walter wounded and wildebeest.

Which ran off and stood in the middle of a bunch of rhinos.

The PH said we should be careful of our shots, as it might turn out to be very expensive mistake.

Told him that is why I am finishing that wildebeest, and he needn't worry about his pets!

Besides the actual darting.

What's the purpose of doing this?
Is it part of another operation
that requires they be rendered unconscious.

Are they being treated by a vet,
tagged for future protections,
or being moved to another location??

Or is the darting the end goal?

Thank you for an explanation.

George

I'll say this.When I darted mine, I thought it was going to be lame.

How wrong I was. It was VERY exciting and not as easy to get close enough with no cover between the Rhino and yourself.

This is a great offer.

As an aside. I did mine in 2007 or IIRC? I did it on Kristo Kaiser's property. Exactly one year to the day he was killed by a Jumbo in Botswana.

I did it because I really didn't want to kill one but definitely wanted the Big 5.

Sadie and I were hunting on a property in the Limpopo. Simultaneously a Russian was doing a rhino dart hunt. Well! The Russian couldn't get it done or at least didn't get it done on the ground so he engaged a helicopter to help and this is where it got out of hand.

We drove into the scene as the Russian in the helicopter had just run down the rhino darting it. All the vet people and entourage plus the Russian's sons were all waiting for the rhino to succumb to the dart. The rhino went down and then it was a rush to take pictures, take blood samples and give the rhino the antidote before the rhino dies. The PH was shitting as it was taking too long and the rhino might die. The Russian only cared about the pix and was not concerned about the rhino at all. To me it was a total cluster fuck.

I had planned to do a rhino dart hunt thinking it would be a great experience such as Steve has described but that experience with the Russian totally turned us off. We didn't even go up to see the rhino close up.

I understand that some stuff is a turn-off. I just wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. For the experience and the price of this, I'd do it again if I could combine it with something else in Africa.
