Not really hunting but we(my recon team) were in the canopy trying to reach our LZ for extraction when we discovered we no longer on the map. We were getting a bit concerned when the point man started sputtering (he was German and we couldn't always understand him when he got excited). He had nearly stepped on a very large python that was ,fortunately, gorged on something large,and didn't want to fight us either.We decided to go back the other way and,luckily, that put us back on the map and on our way to the LZ.
