Yeah the big to do for the PH and tracker/skinner is to get you some really good pics. Then is get him loaded up and to the skinning shed. I tried to drag, move, position as much as they'd let me because they really work hard and I felt lazy if I didn't.

The greatest part of the day was coming back to the compound, they had a second group there that was hunting with Gerrit's cousin Peter. They were from BC, Canada... Had all these big stories about killing tons of bears and this and that...
The first morning all we had run into was that jackal so they called us "jackal team" then we ended the first day with 2 single shot dropped kudu, they had a blesbok they took 4 shots on, and a warthog they had to track for half a day because his son-in-law shot it in the foot... Yeah we quickly went from "jackal team or "B-Team" to A team for sure.
The best part was the food, people, and conversation after the hunt. The trigger time for a hunter is priceless. Our 3rd day we took 4 animals! The Canadians took 2! We had the skinners working until sun down!

We ate a form or multiple forms of the game meat every day 3x a day! Amazing food, usually has a bit of German influence. Gerrit did most of the BBQ outside in their covered seating area, and on the grill, as well as, when we went fishing he BBQd some gemsbok sausage for breakfast and lunch. Makkie his wife, makes all the breakfast and lunch meals as we are preparing for the hunt or out hunting at those times. They include all the beers and water and soda you can stomach. They also have a small selection of liquor if that is your poison. After a good day of hunting and dinner they usually bring out the German style aperitifs for a shot with everyone!
We ate blesbok, warthog, kudu, black and blue wildebeest, gemsbok, eland, lamb, goat, and a bit of beef!
I would have rather had the wild game than any of the traditional meats, they were fresher and had better flavor. But they usually gave options.
