Damn Bill,
That sounds like one of my trips to that wonderful place. I was riding in a land rover after dark and the driver kicked up a herd of Dik-dik, a dog size antelope. He started chasing one of them in the rover and knocked it down. He jumped out, cut it's throat and tosed it in the back.

When we got to the place we were going to RON he gutted and cleaned it and threw most of it in the back to give to the officers when we got back to the camp area. He built a fire and put the head in it upside down. When the head was cooked enough for him he pulled it out of the fire and ripped the jaw off, cracked around some to get to the brain and then offered to share with me. Very interesting.

Later that night the two of us were sleeping on our ruck sacks against the rover when I was jolted out of sleep by load growling and snarling. It was just some wild dogs from the local area after the gut pile. Since I was wide awake I thought I'd just make a small fire and drink coffee until sunrise.
