The operation is run by Heinrich Funck (a full time predator controller, an enthusiastic caller, hunter, varmint hunter and fisherman. I live in Philippolis, a small town in the sheep-farming southern region of the Free State, a Province of the Republic of South Africa. The Philippolis region is characterized by small rugged mountains (koppies) rising from vast plains, which the Gariep (Orange) river gorge breaks.
