Born Hunter 17,743 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 What type of monkey? Based on the name, perhaps a macaque? Interestingly the macaques of Gib' are the only monkey species to inhabit Europe iirc. I wonder what a baboon would go like? I quite fancy hunting them in southern Africa... Chimps on the other hand would bring an altogether different level of brutality! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching natives hunt them feels different to ungulates etc. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Incredibly aware and smart, with lookouts. But also an agricultural pest. A bit of a fad for long range shooting them which isn't my cup of tea. Tbh I just fancy the skull of one on the mantlepiece by a tribal rattle stick thing that I can call Rafiki! Edited June 24, 2022 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was disposing of my waste from the expedition post descent and it emerged down the pile , screaming and chittering. Luckily there are only two things that hunt baboons , leopards and airborne jncos , both posses the skill , agility and natural ability to become the apex predator in a jungle environment. I just stared it straight in the eye “not today brother “ i muttered “I shall allow you to live “ he looked at me , nodded “farewell chewi, I wish you well” he knew 1 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
