What do I use to thwart Tsetse flies?

@CAustin , other good advice if you battling with the tsetse is to wear 2 pairs of jocks, it's no joke if they get you on the nuts, feels like you have been hit by a baseball bat. PS..If they do manage to get you on the nuts, you need to take both pairs off otherwise you have a problem with the swelling.
:eek::confused:
 
Long pants. Long sleeve shirts. Gloves. Head net. 55 gallon drum of deet.

My packing list is complete.

Tough guys drink a cup of deet a day for a week before they leave. It ensures you will never be bitten.

yup! can give you a mate to contact for a reference who got stabbed by a tsetse in the nuts on a hunt i booked for him in tanzania....luckily he didnt hold me responsible but he was bitching for days.....think he was that worried he went to his doctor when he got home:E Rofl:
 
ok wayne....a cup of deer????? o_O

He said tough guys.... drinking deer pee not for everyone. Some would rather get bit on the nuts....

The big red "S" on my chest, has faded considerably over the years. If it means not getting harpooned in the nuggets by a fly, I will gladly belly up to the deet bar.

The hard part is getting it into the cup. Now if you are tough you just go up to the deer, throw him down onto the ground and go to sucking.
 
AAAAH Tsetse aren't really so bad….

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
