Another day down..
We started the morning with SCI and Rowland Ward measuring classes and then moved into a couple of blocks on birds that addressed everything from game birds, protected species, and special protected species, and their habits, habitats, etc and their relationships to other animals..
Finally before lunch we moved into plains game identification for a bit..
After lunch the rest of the day was spent on caping, with practical exercises completed on sheep’s heads…
After lunch but before dinner the wife and I did a little walk around the main Bos en Dal property for about an hour, which as fun.. we saw a small bachelor herd of sable, a pretty sizeable group of impala, and a few blue wildebeest all within a quarter mile of camp…
While we were not promised “safari” grade table fare (understand this course is substantially less expensive than even just the normal safari day rate for accommodation), we’ve been served a quality of food much better than expected (IMO) that has largely been game meat focused… tonight was build your own gemsbok burgers.. lunch was a pancake wildebeest dish… yesterday we had sable meat pies.. and prior to that we were served a wildebeest stew.. we’re definitely not going hungry…
