What is the best khukuri to defend against monkeys

2 Solutions:

1: Back home in South Africa my best friend owns a Koi Carp Shop and he has breeding pools at his house. He used to get thieves coming over the wall to steal his precious and valuable fish so he erected some electric wire around his wall, it used to pulse and thus was not always on. He noticed a neighborhood monkey (Cape Vervet) climbing up the wall (to get some fruit) and grabbing hold of the wire. It was obviously not on but a second or two later it pulsed. He said the monkey's tale went stick straight and it's eyes were like saucers. It wasn't hurt badly but I think it got a pretty bad fright.

2: Pumpkin trap, cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin (just big enough for a monkey to get his hand in - trial and error) and lay the bait. Monkey puts hand into pumpkin to get fruit and pips, grabs a handful and will not let go of the score, problem is his hand will come out but not his fist. Trapped - relocate, problem solved !!

reminds me of my travels in africa. never could cope with the monkeyproblem. it was always best not to piss them of.

``The hungry monkeys get some food from local (Buddhist) temples, but it's not enough,'' Virat said. ``We're going to ask for food donations to feed them and we'll ask the district administration to provide a budget for them.''

Hmmm... I wonder if I can get the City Council to provide a budget to feed the deer that eat my wife's rosebushes every day... ;) :p :D
 
"What is the best khukuri to defend against monkeys?"

I'm thinking a Hanuman would be appropriate.;)

Had to chuckle at that one, Sarge. MOST appropriate.

They have the same problem in some parts of Nepal but they do it the easy way. They shoot the monkeys and then eat them.

And Dave's right. Charbroiled monkey brains are even better than roasted squirrel heads.
 
Monkeys could be trouble in the Philippines too.
We had a young Marine fire a piece of fruit, ala Nolan Ryan, at a monkey outside the upper MAU camp chow hall at Subic Bay. The monkey took umbrage to this and charged said young Marine, who ,ammunition expended, tried to beat a hasty retreat. The monkey was faster. It caught up and bit him on his hind most part. A "rearguard" of Marines had to beat that monkey about the head and shoulders with rocks and sticks to make it let go. That Marine was the butt of jokes for years to come.
Speaking of shooting them(from Leatherneck Magazine, Subic Bay again):
It was a good place for young Marines to learn: The report of a sentry's M1 rifle rang out from the dog-watch guard at the Naval Magazine. It was circa 1953 when Staff Sergeant Charlie Silver, the guard commander, received a call from one of the posts manned by Private Bill Brown. "I need more ammunition. I'm under attack."

"Under attack? From who?" Silver asked.

"Monkeys."

"This I gotta see," said Silver hopping into his jeep. On the scene he found Brown standing combat ready under the moonlight, with his rifle still smoking and its clips empty.

"I'm not kidding, they attacked, but I let 'em have it," said Brown.

"Well, where are the dead and wounded?" asked Silver.

Brown had challenged those on or near his post, but there was no indication that a battle of major proportion had taken place. "I guess they carried 'em off."

Somewhere in the jungle, a monkey howled with laughter.

Regards,
Greg
