WINDHOEK, July 26 (Reuters) – Rhino and elephant poaching has declined significantly this year in Namibia, home to the only free-roaming black rhinos left in the world, government data showed on Monday.

Nine rhinos have been illegally killed by hunters so far in 2021, the lowest number in eight years for the period, according to the figures from the ministry of environment and tourism. Four elephants have been killed this way, a five-year low.

The southern African nation is home to the second-largest white rhino population in the world after South Africa and also accounts for a third of the world’s remaining black rhinos.

This statement is inaccurate, poachers are not hunters. I know this is not your article, and as a hunter I dislike to be included with those low scums. My 2 cents.

I just sent Reuters a message saying the the rhinos were shot by poachers, not poached by hunters. Could also say poached by poachers.
 
Indeed, it is important to keep clear the distinction between illegal poaching and sustainable hunting

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
