DJ in training

Been on a two day game capturing trip and took DJ with me. He loves flying and this time he was allowed to be in the chopper while the Vet was darting.

We caught, Cape Mountain Zebra, Gemsbuck and Red Hartebeest.

From L to R... Me, DJ and the Vet minutes before takeoff

The Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra) is a subspecies of mountain zebra that occurs in certain mountainous regions of the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. It is the smallest of all existing zebra species and also the most geographically restricted. Although once nearly driven to extinction, the population has now been increased by several conservation methods, and is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN.

Great pictures!

I would pay safari price to do that and not even hunt the animals. That would be an awesome experience.
