Glad they got the sorry bastards!
 
I wish they could some how chip a rhino horn at birth. Track it if/when, dehorned..... Then death to everyone involved, from the poacher to the broker to buyer. End the nonsense once & for all!
 
They should start a bait car type deal with these horns and gps trackers. Whomever steals them gets busted.
 
Yeah... but you want it to get to the end user/buyer. Cut off the head of the snake. End the demand/economy of.
 
Glad they were caught, thanks for sharing!

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
