In the field
From the sky to the trailer
The helicopter brings the kudu in on a sling, and the crew has it settled and loaded into the trailer. Calm handling keeps stress low for the animal.

We're lifelong animal lovers. Long before this was a business, it was how we spent every free day: out in the pasture, around the pens, learning how each species moves, spooks and settles. Now we get to do what we love every day, and we bring that same care to every animal we touch.
When you call, you're talking to an owner, and the people who show up to catch your animals are the same family that answered the phone.
Our name is on every capture, every haul and every deal, so we treat each animal and each customer the way we'd want to be treated.
