OK, I was hoping to start the Safari earlier but things came up in real life this week, and with Red's Alt-hunt kicking off some time today I decided it would be easier to wait until his game has finished.
So, the start date for the Safari Hunt is not set at Monday, June 18th, unless the popular concensus here says it wants an earlier start.

Awesome. Can't wait for this one. Maybe I'll have better luck here than in the Final Showdown hunt

Good, but too bad the Rexcons can only join in tuesday night, I'll have exams at monday and tuesday.
And, due to the Big Oops, I only have four cons to give as targets:
Lv. 5: Chaoslock and Huncon
Lv. 4: Oilpire
Lv. 3: Wezcon

Thanks for the head's up.
I'll be posting an organised list of targets some time this weekend, along with the final rules.

Is it too late to jump in on this? Half of my team are animals. My time to play is usually limited to one round early in the morning and all evening after 3:45 + or -. Here's my roster: Blackstreak's Scout Patrol
Just a note, it would be so much easier if the targets were not restricted to just those who volunteered. However, the bonus is no one will be reformatting to veer from being target.

Not at all too late

As for hunting specific players, I considered just hunting Beast alts in general but decided I wanted something a bit different to a basic alt hunt. Depending on how this one goes, I may do a more general Safari after v2 launches, and we'll have the Maximal and Predacon factions.

Good to hear, Psychout.

Hunting is open to anyone, you just have to state you're joining (much like the alt hunts). Just be warned that the prey will be fighting back.
Though I do suspect we may need some more decepticon targets. The bots don't have a wide array of things to shoot at as things stand.

I'll definutly take part. cant help with the targets, my team is a no animal zone. Well, unless you count scrapmetals as animals...

Hmm, it's tempting.
EDIT: It's listed as an Insect Alt, so it's a valid target.

Gonna have to say no. I'll add that to the rules.

Okie dokie, you're welcome to use Torchwood as a target then.

That would be nice. I think how many targets you have is a HUGE factor on which faction will actually win. In the last hunt I hardly ever encountered valid Decepticon targets because a lot of them got lost in the hiccup (I won't mention those who actively changed their alt modes). I could count on one hand for a 2 day span of targets.

Unfortunately, even with this thread on the first page for the last two weeks, only a few have volunteered.
