Every so often the numbers of animals on Ramah need to be reduced to maintain the viability of the different species relative to the environment.
The preferred method of reducing the numbers is to capture the excess number and relocate them to other land owners to supplement their stock and genetic diversity.
We have used the company Wildlife Translocation Services for many years. This is a series of pictures showing the helicopter (pilot John Blythe-Wood) attempting to steer Southern Cape Mountain Reedbuck into nets. The truck they will be loaded into is parked nearby and the pecan orchard can be seen in the background.
The third photo is of the buck being carried out of the hills sedated and blindfolded.
A successful day.
