About to get busy.

My time here is winding down. I have just a few days over 3 weeks left and although I am eager to come home and see everyone, but at the same time I don't want to think about leaving. Recently one of the workers, Justin, that always makes things interesting, and that I had become good friends with recently left. It won't be the same without him, but hopefully with all the clients coming in it will keep me occupied. This week has been pretty slow, but it will start picking up his afternoon. Earlier in the week Justin and I had been sitting out in the blind waiting for a wildebeest to come in. They came in, but it was too dark so now my hunt has been postponed until the end of next week. I did go sit with Susie in the blind on Wednesday and served as her PH (professional hunter) as we waited for a big old warthog to come in, but the only thing to reach the water hole were 4 kudus. Hopefully next week I can help her get one before she leaves.

I have moved up a little bit now that Justin has left and Hannes is actually letting me go along as a guide to help some hunters get a waterbuck and possibly a sable next week while he is gone on an elephant hunt. I am excited for the opportunity, but quite nervous as well because I would hate to let the hunter or Hannes down. I think I know the property and the animals we are looking for pretty well so hopefully everything everything goes good. 

Susie and I have been working hard on the nyala project and have it almost done with only 1 of the 17 nyala left to identify. The portfolio looks good and I think Hannes likes it as well. Now it is just time to wait until the clients come in this weekend and served my second to last night behind the bar for 2 volunteers going away party. Hopefully ill have some funny stories to tell starting next week.
