Last-Minute Opportunity For Black Rhino in RSA
Another black rhino hunt has been abruptly put on offer in South Africa. And we do mean abruptly. The deadline to submit a bid for this hunt is Monday, June 5, by 10 am South Africa time. The hunt is for a rhino bull in Pilanesberg National Park, in an area of approximately 20,000 hectares. According to the CEO of Kgama Wildlife Operations, Norman Mathebula, the animal is an old bull that has been pushed out of the herd. The bull's front horn measures over 25 inches, he says. The hunt is for this season, to take place by the end of October 2006.
If you are interested in this hunt, you will have to contact your favorite South African safari operator immediately to submit a bid on your behalf. Submissions must be sent directly to Mathebula (The fax number within South Africa is: 014-5942338. E-mail: Norman.m@mweb.co.za). The last black rhino offered this way went for upwards of $150,000 US. Mathebula says he expects this rhino will go for about the same amount.
Just remember that although black rhino may be imported into Europe, American hunters cannot bring this trophy home with them. We are told there is little chance that the US Fish & Wildlife Service will change its policy any time soon either. The first hunter to take a black rhino from Pilanesberg last year was an American, by the way, who left the trophy to be mounted and displayed in South Africa. It is still there at this writing. - Barbara Crown.
