Description
Summary:In the Vaalbos National Park on the edge of the Kalahari desert, wild life vet Paul Meyer spends a day capturing animals for a game rancher. We first see Red hartebeest being driven by helicopter into enclosures and straight onto vehicles. When the winds shifts, and the animals catch the scent of enclosure, Paul decides to capture a herd of zebra by darting them from the air, and as evening approaches he turns to the old fashioned method of using nets spread between the thorn trees to catch some more red hartebeest It is a very physically exhausting and action packed day.
