Remember that a Rhino dart hunt is far more of a challenge then killing one. It also qualifies you for the big five by SCI rules.
I think this was a brilliant move by SCI, why kill a white rhino when you can have an even bigger challenge to dart one at 30 yards. It then gets to live to provide another hunt for somebody else.
They only accept the entry for rhinos dated twice per year maximum. They don't want the same bulls being darted every month for income. Also the horn changes size frequently with growth and wear, so the same rhino in darted in Jan will very likely have a different size horn in October.
We darted an old bull that ranged in score by 3-5" every other year. He was only darted once per year. It's expensive to dart them, but a long shot cheaper then killing one!
