"... We celebrated in fine fashion, but kept our attention focused on the hunt. Two days later, Dirk prepared a feast I will never forget. The Eland filets were five inches in diameter. He seared them on a hardwood fired grill and served them with sautéed mushrooms, baked potato, rusties, beetroot, boiled squash and a magnificent cape cabernet sauvignon. For desert, we lounged by the fire with a frozen bottle of jaegermeister...."
