Probably not long to debone one lion but if they get into a whole pride and start shooting them up with AKs . Then you have a job that will take some time. They absolutely have no concerns about ethics or conservation so they will go to hacking up the animals. Hopefully the lions will get some payback and chomp a few poachers.
what is sad is the incredible safe healthy rhino population there is at Windshoek. I do not want to share numbers on our public forem but suffice it to say they are impressiveNow due to the public outcry after the lies of the antis concerning Cecil the lion and the CBL debate RSA is ending the practice. What is being missed is that rhino ownership will now be banned as well. This is after John Hume, Trophy the film, finally went bankrupt and had to sell out to the govt/NGO. The rhino will now face certain extinction or simply be relegated to zoos.
So here is a big thank you to all you anti sympathizers. All you armchair critics of CBL operations. And all of our organizations starting with PHASA, thank you. You did the most damage to conservation in modern history. The CBL is gone and most won't lose sleep over it but the rhino is gone as well.
AS HUNTERS WE MUST HANG TOGETHER OR HANG SEPARATELY!
Lion and Rhino Breeding Ban Approved by South African Cabinet
(Bloomberg) -- South Africa’s cabinet approved a phased end to the captive breeding of lions and rhinos as the country seeks to end practices that have sullied its reputation as a custodian of some of the world’s biggest wildlife populations.Most Read from BloombergErdogan Suffers Historic Loss...www.yahoo.com
A simple issue it certainly isn't.
I did not state rhinos are raised for their horn. I said they are not raised for hunting. John Hume was likely raising them strictly hoping for a legal horn trade, but for most it would be a passion project or a novelty on your land (probably while hoping for a legal horn trade). Protecting a rhino for 30-40 years and selling for $25,000 isn’t a good investment, but would recover some of the loss especially if you could do some dart hunts. I see nothing dishonest about those raising rhinos or holding them on their game farms. Possibly the CBL outfitters are more honest now, but the industry is a dishonest industry. Maybe less so than 10 years ago though after all the bad publicity. I’m uncertain the reputation damage they cause equals the potential conservation value in the bone trade. I’m quite certain you do remember who made the quote.
How many years of anti-poaching would $19,900 pay for? That is not huge revenue likely a loss at the end of the day.

I find 375Fox's view points and opinions "well thought". He seems to do his research and he is simply voicing his opinion. This is an open forum. He has stated, "The real bigger picture of this should be support ethical hunting practices and stop questionable practices before they can do damage." 375Fox is "a voice of reason".
I'm not sure about white rhinos, but black rhino hunting permits usually go for a very high price.How many years of anti-poaching would $19,900 pay for? That is not huge revenue likely a loss at the end of the day.

I wouldn’t have posted that if IvW didn’t make his condescending remark about uninformed individuals making assumptions. However, I can’t see how rhinos can pay their own way through strictly hunting. I read the average is something around $2000 per rhino per year spent in anti-poaching on private land. One of the areas I’ve hunted that held the most rhino ran a very successful photo tourism operation along with the hunting. Eventually they’d hunt them but the photo tourism adds value waiting on a bull to grow old (if poacher didn’t get the rhino first). Hunters will also be drawn to areas they can see a rhino possibly making the area more valuable. Rhinos are a liability on most properties because it makes them a poaching target. I think many rhinos are more of a passion project than an investment. There have been several very low end offers posted here that I unfortunately assume are liquidation sales to remove them and the liability from the properties. There are some areas especially in Namibia that get very good prices for their white rhinos. Black rhinos I don’t see publicized beyond the one you mentioned so I don’t know, but I believe there is no ownership of black rhinos in Namibia. Ranches can only apply to be custodians of them. If I’m wrong on that someone can correct me.
That's my understanding, too. The black rhino Corey hunted was an old wild male that had been attacking and killing other rhinos.

Here is a shinning example of how to ruin the hunting reputation and heritage with one idiotic act. He allegedly, ran down a wolf with a snowmobile. Injuring it enough that he could tape its muzzle.

This has caused an uproar on social media. It’s already all over the internet or I wouldn’t post it. But it’s important that we as hunters publicly castigate and throw people like this out of or groups. In front of the lurking anti hunters.
Also, I think trappers posting pictures next to a live animal with its foot in a trap is along the same lines as this idiot. I have no issues with trapping, but Dispatch the animal as soon as possible. don’t sit next to the live animal and take a picture.
Also, CBL is to be phased out over a 2-yr period. Still not good, but it hasn't officially ended, Yet.
