.458Aubs# 1 Reason for the Cape Buffalo's bad temper
I think i have it all figured out as to the # 1 reason why Cape Buffalo are such irrate fellows
we can at least pull off the ticks or divorce them but a buffalo cant do much about them

.458AubsSctiptus - man i would be in a foul mood if i had those ticks on my testes and couldnt do nothing about them.
Steve - nope

ScriptusWaal now, I dunno there too much!! There ways and means to improve damn near every situation. Somebody gentle to remove the little buggers, somebody to gently scratch when they itch and maybe kiss them all better. There you go, feeling better already.

If I was in that condition I would take a gun to myself. Or maybe let them dangle over a croc infested river!

Bwana MojaI have a tracker friend in Zambia, who'd slice the nuts right off the animal the moment we walked up to him. He'd carry them in his jumpsuit pocket, salivating at the moment he got to bite down on them after boiling them in the pot back at camp.
Buffalo balls were his favorite.

Marc,
I havent eaten buff balls yet but will try next time, but i tell you springbok balls are damn tasty things to munch on that is if you like bone marrow - they taste just like bone marrow
Scriptus - sorry for the SP error

Your tracker friend had pockets on his jumpsuit big enough to put a pair of buffalo balls in?

eezridrTicks are bad enough and my intention is not to "one up you" but we have these little devils here in Texas we call CHIGGERS! They are about like a mosquito bite X10 and they just love to get around you crotch and are microscopic. Where there is one there are a 100. I bet if that Buff had a case of chiggers like those ticks he would have a serious case of attitude!

Scriptus458Aubs Thanks.
CHEGROES, they got nothing on juvenile ticks, also known as pepper ticks, micro dot in size. Hundreds of the damn things can cover you. When you warm up, shower, bath or in bed, you ITCH!! So bbaaaaadly that you bleed from scratching and if they have settled on your scrotum and surrounds, a knife could come in handy.

505gibbs,I have only had the pepper ticks and I cannot imagine anything worse. It is bad enough having the bleeding itches in bed or the bath, but when you try to scratch your scrotum on a stair rail in public like a rhino rubbing his backside on a termite mound, and hope like hell that the folk staring at your strange behaviour have not called for the guys in white coats and straight jackets. If chegroes are worse, oh sheet!!

.458Aubsyou know 505 and scriptus, after this last hunt on the drive back to Jhb i started itching like mad.... i had scratched welts all over my legs and was feeling like a pooch in the pound with a bad case of fleas.... i have never in my life applied so much cream in a 10 hour time frame...
i got home, kissed the wife hello and went upstairs to soak in a bath as hot as i could handle with "Detol" and "peppermint extract" in it - the bites stopped pretty much right after that.
PS - those Chegroes sound very nasty

BNagelChiggers are the left-over feeding tubes of larval stages which the eventual adults leave. Not related to 'moyale' burrowing females that leave eggs inside you to hatch out. I had one of those in my big toe in Ethiopia as a kid, and ringworm was worse.
Our myth is to smother them with fingernail polish (clear, hopefully) over each spot. However, they are long gone and it is the tube that's irritated/itches so bad. Anbesol works, some try Adolph's meat tenderizer, etc.

kingdUse the brown colored consentrated Lysol in warm bath water. Use 2 cap fulls to about an inch of water. Take a wash cloth soak it and soak down the spots where the chiggers are. WARNIG DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR BALLS!. You will know a new meaning of having your balls on fire. It will stop the inching in a few minutes and kills the chiggers. Long time ago while bowhunting, me and a buddy walked
thru a large field of goatweed that was over our heads. Big friggin mistake.

catosilvajeA good stout bath with chlorine or bleach works good after infestation. In Texas prarie oysters are on seversl menu's. Young calf nut's. Best eaten heated till the bust on a brandin' fire.
24 November 2010, 17:10
ScriptusAubrey, what caused the welts, was it some sort of flora, or "wild fauna?"
What cream did you use, did it work? Or did the "kiss" do it or the Dettol, or the "pepperment [did you say 'liquor'?] stuff," or was it the "hot" bath?

shakariAubrey,
Mate, if you keep getting up to this kind of shit, people are going to start talking about you!
Actually, I guess it's probably too late!
As for getting rid of ticks, I use dog tick and flea shampoo and it works a treat for me.

Is that the reason your wife steers you away from lamp posts and parked cars?

24 November 2010, 18:03
shakarishe's currently trying to break me of stealing food off the table and chasing cars as they go by.
Still, just as long as she doesn't put an electric collar round my neck, I'll be fine!

24 November 2010, 18:10
ddrhookSteve,
She said you like the shock collar to much
But it's still funny as hell to watch you try to chase your tail
actually we have not decided if your chasing your tail or trying sniffing your own arse
BUT please stop eating the food. The dog it losing weight and looks terrible
24 November 2010, 18:36

Man cant remember the cream, but it did not do much to relieve the itching at all... i think the trick was the hot bath with the mooty in it, no chance of getting and special treatment crawling with bugs - lol
the welts were self induced from scratching bite marks non stop
