Hayduk.

This is coolbert: 

The mercenary African style 1977. In the ancient and venerable manner of the European hayduk, the irregular combatant who guards the cattle.

From the era of the Rhodesian Bush War. 

A stock detective in modern parlance, guarding the cattle of the Rhodesian rancher. A lucrative trade if done right and you survive. Watch the video.

Bounty on each rustler £2,000 English pounds [1977]. A tidy sum! Equal to about $15,000 USD in 2021 dollars, purchasing power, low-ball figure.

Bring a right ear only. And how much of the bounty you split with the tracker?
