Some wonderful fishing and camping in Limpopo

some of our huge [4 m + = 13-15 ft] extremely poisonous black mamba encounters out in the bush...... :eek2:

they could be anywhere--on the ground, in the grass where you are walking or up in a tree under which shade you are taking a rest from the hot sun.

its neuro toxin venom will kill a grown-up inside of 15-20 min' :evil:

as solo hunters that are easily sometimes more than 10 miles from the vehicle and more than 100 miles from the nearest small town or decent hospital,this is a serious threat!

This is my hunting kit when the wilds and adventure calls...
aaahh,what memories!

spear-hunting warthog the primitive way...

solo and without the aid of dogs

man,the adrenalin rush!

some more photos while out hunting....:)

The stuff nightmares are made off! I shot this crop-raiding baboon and thought wrongly that it was dead. [Yes,even experienced hunters can sometimes make stupid mistakes!] When I entered the head high tambuki grass armed only with my spear to retrieve the carcass, I was unexpectedly confronted by a very angry wounded baboon! Some very scary action filled moments and ' harsh' words later I could luckily managed to finally kill it with my spear! Now it's crop-raiding days are over,and it is doing another service back home,but just looking at it,it sure still gave me goosebumps when I think back on what could have been! [Just have a look at those canines...]

good day Arina:wave:

Here is a before and after picture of an African porcupine hunt.
It is the biggest rodent on the continent.
A 300 mm/12' ruler for comparison.

:barmy:happy new year!:kt:

Happy New Year.
