So, four nights in a camp for $50,000+ USD and yall can't pay for a couple bottles of liquor?
I don't drink much, so always find that exclusion amusing.
Good luck with your hunt, sounds cheap for a rhino. I thought they went for much more.

Good price or not I can't believe guys would spend that kind of money to hunt in a 10 000 acre cage. Shouldn't take more than an afternoon to get the job done especially when they have their little spots they hang out in and the PH should know exactly where to find it. My 2 cents

It does not matter how big the compound is, when one "hunts" any animal in a closed enclosure, the outfitter KNOWS where that animal is at any given time. They normally take the prospective client on a sort of round about way to get to it.
And anyone who believes otherwise is living in cockoo land.
No matter how you feel about it 10000 acres is a large piece of ground and if the Rhino was not hunted and had no value that piece of ground would be full of mangy goats and cattle and no wildlife. Which would you prefer?

Approx. 20% of Tanzania is populated by mangy goats and cows but still has plenty of game

I have nothing against hunting on a fenced farm.
What I do object to is the claim that the animals on the farm are "wild" and can be hunted like those which are not on a farm.
The "farmer" knows precisely where each of his valuable animals are at any time - and if he claims otherwise he is lying. Especially when it comes to high value animals like rhinos.
Plains game are a diferent matter though.

...and who told you that? I know they are in some of the national parks. Outside of that maybe not?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Try looking in the SGR, Manyara and Serengeti.
That our rhino have been poached to hell and gone is indeed a sad affair - hopefully the remaining few will be properly protected.
I have one question for those who are dismissive of hunting a rhino in a large
but fenced area. Can a free ranging Rhino
be hunted anywhere?
Probably not or if so the price would only be affordable by royalty(sorry Saeed!!!)
Robbie Kruger Safaris posted the offer specifying the size of the area,etc and did not seem to be concealing anything.Why have a go at him? Many AR members(judging by the "how fat/old is too fat/old debate) would pucker-up to walk around 10000 acres in the Zululand heat anyway.Game ranching here in SA has saved the wildlife population from dissapearing into the proverbial cooking pot.In other African countries free ranging leopard are chased with dogs or baited and then shot from a blind. In many cases the PH knows which leopard is feeding where and sets up the client to shoot a particular leopard... maybe they should name all those leopards too hey Nube & Mjines?? Over here kitty kitty!!!!!!!!!

safari-lawyerI think it is undeniable that the proliferation of the white rhino in RSA is a tremendous success story.
I think it also undeniable that the availability of the rhino as trophy animal (whether hunted or just plain shot) is why the rhino are farmed, why they have value, why they are protected, and why they made the comeback from the brink of extinction.
I don't know if I would ever hunt such a rhino, but I am not going to throw stones at the industry. To me, hunting, shooting or just plain killing some of these rhino paves the way for continued development of the rhino population, which I know I am in favor of.
Personally, I've seen many rhino in 100,000+ hectare areas where they stood in the middle of a vast plain. I could have walked up to the rhino and killed it in 10 minutes or less. I've also seen the rhino in much smaller enclosures, where they hung out in thick bush and you might have to look for them for days before you found them. What constitutes a rhino "hunt" is very subjective and for each hunter (or shooter) to decide. However, on an objective basis, I can see that experiences such as the one offfered in this post are intertwined with the continued success of the rhino in RSA.

remglennNice mount! I have found that it is foolish to have preconceived ideas about certain hunts and even species. I had this thing about never wanting to hunt an elephant as it wouldn't be sporting. Got the offer of a non trophy elephant while on a leopard hunt in Zim. Just do the hunt and make up your mind I was advised by the PH. All I can say is WOW. Do it again in a heart beat if I could!!
