Catching python on live bait (9 photos) Bashny.Net

In many countries, hunting is a kind of male games. And though after hunting prey spread on the table, most hunters could easily buy the meat at any grocery store. But in some countries, hunting - is a means of survival.

For example, in Africa, hunt snakes precisely in order to eat, because the other food in the near future is foreseen, and python skin dearly valued in the market.

Who will show how hunters extract 6 - meter mountain of African python on live bait.



To begin with one arm wrapped buffalo skin. Presumably this hand clutching a giant snake.


Find a snake hole in the mountains and climb to the head forward.

Nora python has a length of about 10 meters. To avoid getting stuck in a hole in the body is smeared with a special grease.


Snakes well see in the dark. Rather, it has infrared vision. The man is warm, so the snakes, who saw "yummy" pripolzshuyu itself to him in the hole, is prepared to throw. To confuse the snake and himself something to see, Hunter lights branch. They are much warmer than the human body, It introduces the serpent deceived.


Serpent coiled lies on the eggs (in the masonry, usually at least 100 pieces).


Snake throws for lunch.


But a clever guy sticks his hand snake, wrapped in a buffalo hide. Disoriented snake trying to bite through the skin, and the hunter free hand covers the esophagus snake to snake accidentally swallowed hand together with the skin and by the hunter.

In principle, even a three-meter python is able to strangle a man, well, six-meter, as in this case, a person swallows entirely. And at first pythons dig their teeth (teeth python in two rows, bent back and can get out and leaving a piece of his flesh), then gradually wrapped around the rings, the soul of the victim and breaking her bones. Well, in the end, like a stocking, "worn" is already on an unconscious victim, swallowing it whole. Sometimes the victim can come into the consciousness inside the python; however, it makes much sense anymore.


Climb back to the six-meter kite, weighing 10-15 kg per meter, one unreal. But this fellow is hungry hunter. They need to get a hunter's legs together with the serpent.

Hunter, holding his throat snake appears on the surface.

If underground snakes can not strongly resist on the surface of the real battle begins.

Hunters have one - press the spear head of the serpent to the ground, the second - to keep the tail, well, he cuts the throat of a snake hunter, trying not to hurt the skin (it can be sold).

The battle is over. One of the assistant climbs into a hole and takes the left unguarded eggs. If they cook on a fire, they are a real delicacy.


When loaded with prey, the hunters appear in the village - they will be met as the real heroes.
