Two Things...
1. I bet this is the first black mamba that ever graced this page. No I didn't kill it. I was standing a LONG distance away screaming like a little girl, "I'M SCARED!! I'M SCARED!!"
2. Woody apparently has a twin from South Africa. Not only looks, but mannerisms and all.

I thought that WAS Woody! I was readin and wondering where the heck Woody went to be able to tail grip a mamba. I figure if it was him there would be an action shop of him swingin it laso style while singing some Perrt Como...Papa loves mamba...mamma loves mamba
So how did this critter meet its demise? Looks almost too long to whip its guts up. Oh yea, and far too scary for that also.
well, the demising was not quite though out thoroughly enough in my opinion. Mambas are able to raise 2/3 of their bodies off the ground. That means this particular one could look me level in the eyes if he wanted to. From that position, it can strike repeatedly in just a couple of seconds, injecting enough venom to kill a whole passle of people. That said, a local did what any of us would have done with a rattle snake. He grabbed a 3 foot 2x4 and poked at the snake trying to irritate it enough so it would start rising up. Once it got about 3 feet off the ground, the guy "T-balled" it. while it was laid over, he knocked it repeatedly in the head.
Am I to assume there are no pictures of that? I'm also gonna guess it wasnt the white guy who did this?
Woody,
I didn't know you lived in South Africa
No shit. The post from Mongolia is followed up with a report from South Africa? You rednecks are going international!
Chris -- You are correct. I never seem to have my camera at the good times. after this was all finished, i had to drive all the way back to the hotel and get it. You are also correct in saying that whitey didn't do this. He was actually saying to not kill it becasue he wanted to catch it and take it down the road to release it.
Brian -- Yeah, just looking at the posts from this year, there seems to be a large number of international posts. Maybe we should change the name of the blog to "Chris and Alan are Blastin and Castin in the Worldwide Outdoors, and Sometimes Brian Catches Stripper on the Beach."
I'm going to kill something so you have to think up a new title.
you will prolly go to jail, did you forget you are in CA? And you just broadcasted it here so now it is premeditated killin something
I was planning on killing something out of state. I will be in VA in November when Deer/Turkey are in season so I will probably shoot a squirrel.
Be damn careful that no one thinks the killin took place in CA. Take pictures at the VA state capital so there is no confusion.
