My Son and I were up near Messina this past June on an 11 day hunting trip (great time had by all) The PH said that the weather should be cool enough to keep the snake sightings at a minimum (fine by us) Well thanks to the earlier rains there was still lots of vegetation and it was still pretty warm. Well that combination led us to 4 run ins with snakes, 3 Black Mamba's and a Puff Adder. I always thought that if I had to I could just out run a snake, that was until I saw the 12 foot Black Mamba cruising about 10 miles per hour with his head 3 feet off the ground, luckily away from us. I learned very early in the hunt to LISTEN TO OUR PH!!!
