This is cape cobra?
And this guy who tried to take a selfie with a snake he found on the side of the road: (west diamond rattler) HOW MUCH BEER DID HE DRINK?

Definitely not a Cape cobra. CC has a much smaller hood, living in a different part of Africa.

Having never hunted Africa the thought has crossed my mind how often hunters encounter snakes. The videos of hunting I have seen seem to often end with a jog through Bushveld at a pace where spotting snakes would be impossible whilst often wearing shorts. How many times do those in the hunting party get bitten or have near misses?

On my first hunt, in Namibia, in warm months, I saw two snakes: cape cobra and black mamba. In both occasions, the snakes were on the gravel road soaking up the heat from the sun.
On my second hunt, during colder months, I did not see any snake.
I asked PH during my first hunt, about snake bites, and he told me in last 30 years or so, there was no cases that anybody was bitten by snake on his concession.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
