Wildvang

Thursday 9 June 2011
Went with Vaaitjie, Sieg and Willem (the vet) to dart animals. This was good for our Harvesting of fauna unit standard. The initial plan was to catch Kudu Bulls but we were unable to find any on the 400 hectare. So we went then to the chalet area to catch Nyalas. Sieg and Willem darted the animals, then we went in to ensure the animals were okay while Willem injected them. The Nyala bull that we caught managed to survive but the young Nyala that we caught unfortunately passed away. We then took the Nyala to the wildlife center where we put it into a boma before reviving him.
