In reading the following articles on hunting the rhino, black rhino that is, you will relive an era in hunting that can never be lived again. While the black rhino is now allowed to be hunted in very limited quantities (about 5 in both South Africa and Namibia) the average hunter will never be able to afford them (up to $250,000). The white rhino is a different story. He was hunted to near extinction 100 years ago for his horn but was never a challenge to hunt due to his docile nature. The black was truly dangerous game and would charge for no reason often times. The size of a tank with a brain the size of a pea (mild exaggeration)! Today, while the white rhino is hunted in numbers, they are ranch-raised and about as tame as a milk cow--an about as exciting to hunt. Due to his economic value, the black rhino, too, is not the wild animal he was at one time, also being ranch-raised. Below are the articles listed to give proper credit. Enjoy!
