    yup my female staff got hold of one of the troops legs by jumping up the tree


    long story short she let go and ran inside on command, my male was with me (22kg of muscle) and the bull came for us
    managed to get my boy back indoors


    the only thing that made that bull run was when i unholstered my 9mm,

    I find a stick is needed in hand to make any sort of impact at home on a bull. Haven't tried a katy but will do so.

    I've seen the bite marks a bull made on a full grown ridgeback and they were hectic!

    I moered a vervet with my hat when it attempted to scare charge me. He decided to rather scarper.

    I wouldn’t try it with the alpha male.

    A friend of mines mother got bitten on the calf 2 weeks ago, in her house down the Kzn south coast. Big loner male, she can't be more than 50 kg's either way.
    Will try to see if he took pictures of the wound.
    Those Vidal ones are very crafty, being well habituated to human interactions, they never miss an opportunity to grab something.

The only thing that worked was an obvious Kruger-regular - he pulled out a kettie and just lifted it and the troop scattered.

    Happened to me as well, the Kruger vervets are arrogant as fukc.

    The other reason is if you shoot the main dood, it gives all the bachelors a gap with the chicks - small population explosion

    I like vervets where they still are vervets. But when the EFF spirit kicks into them. They get crafty and hard to control.

    Very few things deter them other than culling. .22LR and silencer.

    Mate of mine in Durban was very gatvol. Arived home one afternoon and found the troop in the house, closed the doors and windows behind them and took the knobkierie and had at them like john wick. He said he did not mind the cleaning afterwards
