Hunting Okapi

[K-man]

Just asking if anyone has hunted Okapi, or knows about hunting them. I assume they are a jungle animal, but do huntable populations exist, and do any outfitters offer Okapi hunts?

Thought to be extinct at one time, they do still exist in small numbers in the Congo I believe. Highly unlikely any hunting of them will ever be allowed again.

Protected.

Only critters being taken are for Bushmeat!

Thanks for the replies. I have seen them in zoos, etc but never thought about hunting them until recently. Cool knife, too.
