GAME CAPTURING

We have learned a lot about game capturing and how to set up the Boma which we are using to catch the wild animals with .

We had a breathing that morning at 6 o'clock just to make sure that everyone know how to do everything when the alarm goes of to say that the wild animals are inside the Boma and all the sliding doors has to close. We caught some Eland , Gemsbuck , wilde bees , Blesbuck , Impala and some Zebras. It was a lot of fun but also very dangerous . When you are capturing game you have to fear nothing otherwise you will be getting hurt by them because they will do anything to get out of there and not to get into the truck.
