Anton,
Great photos. You have some nice looking snakes there. Do you get called to remove them from houses/public areas?
If you have any pictures with a gabon viper, ringhal etc. I would love to see them also.

That tools handle is not nearly long enough in my mind!

Alright - here's my Stupid Question of the day.
How did those guys holding the mambas in their bare hands put the snakes down again - without getting bitten?
I know there's the old trick of putting the snake inside a bag by lowering its body first (into the bag).
But with a mamba involved, you've still got the risk of it striking your hand - as you release its head.
So how did they do that???
thanks,
Upepo

Anton, you make a great point, all creatures have a chance to make a living. By going out of our way to kill or rid a creature off the planet says something about ourselves.

I also agree with Anton s point of view, I have encountered snakes on country roads a few times, and stopped to let them cross in peace.

With me I just handed him back to the Tanzanian that handed him to me. There was a miscommunication, I asked if his venom sacks had been removed and was assured that they were. Later, while I was holding the snake, I was told that nothing had been done to the venom sacks, he was just a nice nyoka that didn't bite.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
