A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

I loved watching this little series! That’s exactly how it is! The guys are hilarious adventurers, skilled bush mechanics and incredible bushmen.

The true stories of life and adventure in the bush are absolutely incredible.

Dang. They can hunt them on their territory?

My Pa who grew up in Northern Rhodesia tells of croc hunting trips of the Kafua from his Godfathers flaoting camp built on the floats of old Sunderland Flying boats. Mostly they used 303s, but they did sometimes fish for them. A big hook with a large hunk of meat - from a dead croc or a goat hindleg attached to a steel cable - other end attached to a tree.

Leave it on a mudbank - following morning cable would be tight - only way of movng the croc would me to hit the cable with a stick - croc would charge out the water. Challenge was catching it .... Pa hasn't ever told if they actually managed to bag a croc this way.

Kinda on + off the subject. Many years ago we had a flood in South East Texas that flooded the State park in Aransas Pass that what with the rising tides allowed alligators to come over the levee + get into areas where P+W did'nt want them.We were allowed to bow hunt the crocs.Only caveat was that if we saw a diamondback rattler (crotalus horridus) we could not shoot it as it was considered endangered. I thought at the time that if I saw one he damn sure would be endangered.Once again,our government plying their 'trade'.


Never mistake motion for action.

Some books that feature the hunting of crocodiles with spears are Buffaloes! by Carl Warburton and several books by Ion Idriess, both Gallipoli veterans - in fact, Idriess did a tiny bit of spotting for Billy Sing, the famous sniper.
