Every hunter has some particular aspect of hunting which REALLY concerns them.

I understand and appreciate crocs in Africa. Mine is snakes. I hunt where water moccasins/rattlers are common and I detest poisonous snakes.

I will be honest and say that the african mamba/puff adder would concern me greatly as well. I have heard stories from PH's of bad breath range "coulda been dead" encounters.

Yowser!!
**Snakes-
Rifles are just very poor for snap shot resolution of this type of hostilities.

I do carry a revolver with snake shot but that would be impossible in Africa-----
