Interesting. Here's a photo where it shows a cameraman with a high-quality camera videotaping her hunt.
(FYI- Per the caption, this rhino was not killed. She had "assisted" a veterinarian by darting it to put it to sleep so that he could take measurements and treat the animal's inured leg.)
She has herself titled as a "Public Figure" on her Facebook page. Her "About" page on Facebook is equally as interesting as she describes her hunting experience:

Biography
I grew up in the small town of Cleburne, Texas where my hunting career started. As a child I would go with my dad on all of his hunting adventures watching him on our ranch, as well as, traveling to Africa to see him take his Big 5. I took my first trip to Zimbabwe in Africa with my family in 2004 (age 9) and watched my dad bring many animals home. As badly as I wanted to shoot something I was just too small to hold the guns my dad had brought. I became fascinated with the culture over there and visited one of the elementary schools to deliver candy, coloring books and soccer balls to the under privileged children. This was an eye opening experience for me to see how other children my age lived in a third world country.
In 2008, (age 13) I took my second trip to Africa to start my Big 5 experience, but this time to South Africa. Although I had many other opportunities to shoot animals I wanted to save it for the Big 5, so the first animal I ever shot was a White Rhino with a .416 Remington!! On this trip I also took some plains game, such as impala, kudu and mountain reedbuck home.
I returned to Africa the next summer in 2009 (age 14) to finish my quest for The Big 5. This time I went on a 28 day safari and took an Elephant with a shot from a .416 Remington and finished it off with my dad's .470 Nitro Express. Along with the elephant I also harvested a charging Cape buffalo and a huge maned lion. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take a leopard on this trip, so I returned 2 weeks later for another 14 day safari. This time I got my leopard, and also took down a hippo to get 6 of the Dangerous 7 at the age of 14! I was lucky enough to have all of my hunting adventures professionally videoed and put onto DVD.
On the side of hunting, I am also receiving an education from Texas Tech University. I am a cheerleader for the University representing the All Girl Squad making apprearances at football, basketball and volleyball games, as well as, attending many public events as part of the Spirit Program. I am currently a sophomore with a degree program focusing on Marketing and Sports Therapy.
