Post by: bow4elk on December 30, 2008, 05:56:20 PM: Nice!! That is the hard part - getting everything in tact. My crate came to my work address. Pretty fun day at work getting into that crate, especially when many were non-hunters. I killed a Pofadder (deadly snake) with my bow after nearly stepping on him. I wanted the tanned skin but it never showed up in the crate. You took a great Kudo and Black Wildebeest. Both were on my list, but eluded me. Maybe next time!

Thats a good reason to go back!!! I can't think of a bad reason except for them SNAKES!!! :yike: The Africans are more afraid of the adders than the Mombas!!! :yike:

Looked like a rattler to me so I shot it. He freaked out and ran. I'm standing there with a 3" snake hanging off my Judo point like, what's the fuss? Saw a few Mambas too but only at night and a couple dead on the road.
