They have appeared in several national TV programs highlighting their conservation efforts with Joyce awarded a Queens Service Medal (QSM) for her voluntary contribution to Conservation.

He has a farming background, deer being a large part of his life with a passion for the outdoors and wild, remote places.

This feature combined with Johan’s extensive knowledge and experience ensures both safety and comfort.
