Most incredible hunting/Landscape pictures you will ever see

[winnie_the_pooh]

Beautiful place and very nice photographs.If only it were possible to visit it.Probably not in my lifetime.

the Black Rhino is still the costliest hunt in the world. I read on AR and on the net that prices in excess of $150K. Infrequent and very limited.But still the most expensive.

Thanks for the info Vikram.
My God. That's really expensive. I had no idea that they still offer Black Rhinos for hunting. The last I heard was they only offer them for "green hunting" where they dart the animal and take snaps.

A lion has just been offered for hunt with a trophy fees of 100000 euros. The ranch claim it is the largest lion on earth. I have seen the pic. It is a beast. i mean if you want to know what a 'majestic beast' looks like, that is it.

Again not nitpicking but just telling you guys.

About Rhinos and Lions.....

Irrespective of the price tag, I'd prefer the Black Rhinos and that Lion left alone for a few more years. I am assuming that both are in Africa. While I might be presuming a bit too much here, I think greed is at play here.

We almost lost all the Black Rhinos not too long ago did'nt we ? And the lion on the ranch......remember the American trophy hunter who shot the largest leopard in Namibia ? Not too many took to that in a kind way. Did they ?

FF,

Black Rhino hunting is almost gone now. If they do allow,it could be one or two maximum once in a few years.That explains the price tag.However, it's the poachers are to be blamed than the trophy hunters.They hunt only when there are permits available.No permit,no hunting. The black markets of the Arab world and Far-East need to be tackled more robustly than they are now to stop the annihilation of many species.

Vikram,

I agree completely with you, without any doubt whatsoever.
Even if its poachers and their misdeeds, the result is depletion in numbers of species.

Mind you when animal rights activists and anti hunting activists, cry themselves hoarse over the depletion, they will target the legal hunter (for lack of a better phrase) NOT the poachers...Do you see where I am coming from ?

Everyone knows its illegal hunting, poaching and deforestaion (and related activities) that are to be blamed for the depleting numbers but its so much more convinient to blame the legal hunter you see.........

Can someone please post a pic of this big lion from the ranch ? He deserves to be the wall paper on my PC for a while. He also deserves to live a little longer for his unique title of "largest lion on the ranch". Lions only have a 10% chance to make it to adulthood in the wild.

Well the actual title is the largest in the world.

Heres the pic:

Now why do they want to kill this sexy dude for a trophy.....
Its nothing but shooting a captive animal.....



Thank god better sense prevails....as there is similar opinion as mine being echoed on the forum as well

I found these comments hilarious though.....

"Yeah he comes when you call kitty kitty!"

"Shame, he lost his electric shaver !!!! "

"I think electric shavers, trouser belts and shoe laces are confiscated and not returned until after release ! "

Most hunters i know wont shoot him since 99.99% chances are that he has been carefully reared on a ranch till adulthood.

One could shoot so much more for 100000 euros (150000$).

I would only shoot him with my camera. Looking at his mane he seems to be from East African decent. What a magnificent beast. I would let it live as long as it will in the wild so that it passes its best genes to its future generations so that our future generations can witness what great animals we were blessed with.

Fantastic Thought.......

It looks like a Cap lion or Barbary lion. If I'm right it should be used to breed not for pleasure of some so called "hunters" as those subspecies of lion are extinct now.

Since everyone has decided to go off topic, let me bring this back.

Thanks Vikram for sharing this link with us. What a place. Words don't do justice.

Winnie, I echo your sentiment of being able to visit this place.
