Vita-Dart Hunts in Namibia

Do they not do darting in the normal course of animal well being tests (blood samples, etc.)? Described above is the "hunter" participates in the darting of the rhino for DNA, tracking chip, etc.... What's the full regulation on green hunting in Namibia? Not just a one sentence statement.

BTW, this was done last year also.

Nothing new here, I did the post back in Sep 16, 2011. Green Rhino Hunt / Dart Rhino Hunts in Namibia: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/green-rhino-hunt-dart-rhino-hunts-in-namibia.6327/#post-38392.
 
The thesafariconnection.com website still has White Rhino green dart hunt for sale listed at $10,995.00.

Back in early 2011 I contacted NAPHA about someone selling dart Rhino hunts in Namibia and no one got back to me.
 
It has been obviously going on for a while... This item SOLD on 2015 May 16.

Thank you to the forum and its members. After seeing this thread, I contacted our SCI Alaska hunt coordinator and they pulled the hunt from the Saturday night auction.
 
Can you believe Namibia makes this practice illegal? First of all you used to be able to actually dart the rhino. Now in RSA you stand behind the vet and shoot s stupid vitamin dart and say that's your trophy? Sorry I don't get it.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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

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?
