Poaching

No, we didn't actually poach anything, we were taught how to walk through the bush and look for clues and snares and even the poachers themselves.  Elani, Arno, Moira and myself were in a team.  We had our very own hand signals and everything.  We walked in a line, with about three or four meters between each of us and we all looked right. If I needed their attention since I was the first person on the left, I would make a calling sound that sounded something like a bird.  We found a bunch of snares and even markers in trees and we found a poacher in a tree.  Now you might wonder what we as first years did against a poacher but don't worry, it was a pretend poacher, our second year, Monica was having a lot of fun with her role.  We followed the steps exactly like the book says, we questioned her before making any assumptions and once arresting her, we read her, her rights.  A few photos for you to see what we found and our signals.

The poacher tried to make a run for it but she did not succeed.
