Spring is almost in full flight here in Africa so I just want to send out a friendly reminder to everyone out in the bush,( be it bowhunting or soulsearching ),to WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES. I dont know what the situation is like over in the U.S etc but in Africa help is always far away. Not so long ago a friend was hunting buffalo and almost stepped onto a puffadder. I wanted to warn him but i couldnt make a sound due to the proximity of the bovines. Needless to say it slithered away.

Just remember two things:
-dont piss a snake off
-wear enough boot.

As they say in Africa, if you are bitten by a mamba, find a shady tree and enjoy your last 5 minutes. Just looking out for my fellow bowhunters, cheers.

My PH (I was right behind him)nearly stepped on a mamba in the Selous last month. He retreated, but it definitely got our attention.

At my last trip to rsa i was sitting in a ground blind when i heard a sound outside and when i looked a big Black mamba was on its way inn where i was sitting i shoot it with my backupp rifle and luckely it died quick!!it was 3,20 long well a lesson to be learned the hard way!keep your eyes open at all time!

donner where were you hunting Normandy is that a 2nd World War bunker?

He he yes that is a good bunker african style!the hunt was in limpopo
