CNN did a decent job imo.

good for him he donated a lot of money to stop poaching

That would be the hunt of a lifetime

Its a great and must read before people voice there opinion. Thx for posting

The real shame is they anticipated it would go for 1.3-1.5 mil but the death threats scared a lot of people off and not nearly as much was raised for Namibian rhino projects.

well who's to blame for that!? anit hunters trying to take everything they can away from protecting our wildlife.. again!

Couldn't agree more. They are the first to rip $$$ away from wildlife if it doesn't fit their real agenda of ending hunting - regardless o the affect it would have on species as a whole.

x's 2, I was surprised to see them actually send in one of their known reporters to document the hunt.

Great story nice to see the entire thing filmed.

He just gave a great interview to Erin Burnett.

I'm not a big Knowlton fan , but he did a good job .

What does he do that he can afford $350,000? Anyone know?

President of Cimarron Concrete in Dallas Fort Worth. Must be lucrative.

He also co-stars with Jim Shockey in his shows.

bravo CNN!
 

Very well done, not catering to anti hunters and keeping a neutral standpoint. Well written and I am also happy to see they sent in their own journalist and Corey allowed them on his true hunt of a lifetime.

why am I unable to see this video anywhere on the internet??????:angry3:

Strange? I thought he paid a lot of money to kill a rhino? - that no one else could.

Anybody could have done it, even you, just had to win the auction. :)

X2

Didn't look like he shot it in a pen although I am sure the rhino enclosure was fenced some how.

"Anyone could kill the rhino if they won the draw" is like saying anyone could kill a ram if you drew the cadomine tag. Your odds are stacked but its no guarantee.

where did the money go?

He explained that in the Erin Burnett interview.

That wasn't my point, if you were referring to my post?? Rabbit said that the guy hunted a rhino that no one else could. All I said was that anyone could have hunted the Rhino, all they had to do was buy it at the auction....

i know where it goes :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Sorry my friend, Rabbit did not say he "hunted a rhino", that would be ridiculous, I said "killed" one. The money for conservation is great and I hope he does use the mount to spread the word on the plight of the animal, but I'll bet you a dollar it never leaves his trophy room unless it goes to an SCI convention for a few days where it would be properly oohed and awed at with him present.

I only know one person who could have bought the animal, we are not all rich nor would many people shoot this animal if it was free, I wouldn't.

No fence of any kind. It was in a national park.

Etosha is more than 22 000 square km, looking at your posts you sure like to complain mister

No, not complaining at all, just don't like to see an execution referred to as hunting. For those who do consider it a "hunt" for a "black rhino" on 22,000 km that's fine with me, everyone's idea of hunting is different.

That sounds a bit funny coming from a guy who chokes rabbits.

^^^^^ hahahaha^^^^^ well played.
So is this Cory guy the same guy everybody was bashing in a Shockey thread
a while back?
