Canuck,



Initially I wasn't that interested in croc, but they are very wary. They are difficult to hunt and require pinpoint shot placement. It is quite a challenging hunt.



We set up a couple of baits and blinds for them. Every evening we would walk the riverine forest just to see what we could come across, such as bushbuck. Every now and then the PH would walk to the edge of the river and glass for crocs. We found this guy sunning himself on a sand bar. We left my wife and the trackers behind and carefully worked our way down to the croc and to the edge of the river. The river bank was 10-15 above the river, requiring a difficult shot at the correct angle to break his neck. It was a fun hunt.



Regards,



Terry
