"Don Cowie is a knowledgeable naturalist who knew the names of all the trees and birds before he left school.

Already an experienced hunter, he soon became sought-after by the surrounding cattle ranchers who needed his assistance with problem animal control. There Don gained considerable experience in the hunting down of problem dangerous big game. These were cattle-killing big cats, elephant that damaged water installations, and thirsty buffalo that created right of ownership problems at the drinking troughs. Although the cropping and marketing of the game products like meat and skins for profit was perfectly legal in Southern Rhodesia, sport hunting for profit was not and that include safari hunting.
