I have always had this fascination for the different critters I ran into while in Viet Nam.
Asian Silka: We found this one in a bomb crater. I sent the rack home and still have it. Nice 3x3 rack.
Asian Tiger: We spent the night in a wooded patch, waiting for resupply the next morning. At 6AM, I sent a scout out to check the other side of the clearing. On the way back, he saw these foot prints. they were about 40 ft from where we slept.
Asian Reticulated Python: We were stooped for a brake, I was reading the Army Times. He crawled up between my feet with his head about 10inch from my Johnson.. We had fresh meat for the evening,, C4-BBQ. At least me and my terp.
Orangutans: One night we were set up in some really thick stuff. We put out trip flares 100 ft out & dug in. About 2AM, first one, then two, then the third flare went off,, all hell broke loose. Trying to get a feel for the action, I sat looking for green tracers??? None?? I called a halt,, no return fire??? needless to say we all stood watch for the rest of the night. In the morning, I went out to see if we did any damage, could not find anything, on the way back to our camp, I spotted a chunk of long red hair. I reported it to the S1 and he started laughing, seems there were Orangutans in my area and they forgot to tell me^*^*^
I am looking for the snake picture..
Until then,, Anyone been to this Luxury Resort and Spa in the 3rd pic??? I only flew by, never got to partake..
Anyone else have "Critter in Combat" Stories??
Fixed: there are no Baboons in Asia,, but there are Orangutans,,, dah..
Just added a snake,, not mine,, but similar..
