Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Black Mamba Question.

I was on a crawl to get closer to a springbok and got to about five feet from a greenish brownish snake the size of a garter snake. Now let me assure you my fear of snakes verges on mental illness. I jumped up and shot at it kicking dirt in its face and it left the scene pretty quick. The PH and tracker tried to catch it to show me it was harmless but could not. The springbok were no where to be seen, and there was no lack of laughter by everyone but me zt the incident. My springbok was shot at 270 yds and I did no more crawling.

I am not saying my fear is justified, but you guys who mess with snakes are another kind of nutcase. In my humble snake scared opinion.
