very cool! I hope we get to see some pictures and a story about it!
Wow that is interesting.... Never thought much about hunting a rhino... Figured it was just something not really do-able this day in age.... Difficult to get excited about a dart hunt, and would not want to contribute to the downfall of the species... But this sounds like something that makes a lot of sense and actually seems like a good management tool. And certainly understandable that the owner needs a value out of the animals if he is to maintain a herd.
How old are these bulls? Do you have any pictures to share here or email? What country is it in and are they importable? How big a hassle is it as far as paperwork, etc.?
What size is the property and have they been in there a while? Is it only the huntable ones in the there or is there a herd? Other species in with them? Thin bush like a photo camp and easy to find or?
Is there a measurement of the base circumference of the horn? Any way that they kept track of how much horn has been harvested over the years (or was it only cut off once?).... I assume you can easily get a replica horn mounted by a taxidermist.... And I am sure they will make it as big as one wants... But I would prefer it to be as accurate as possible to what the animal actually would have had.
