I was watching a hunting video here. It looks to me like the hippo was shot while it was in the water. Is that right? How do you get a dead hippo out of the water without a tractor? Sand Creek November 29 1864 | ||

You float him to shallow water and then wait for the tide to go out!  465H&H | |||

Tie a rope to his feet and pull. This is the amateur video we took on my hippo hunt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRl-DVGqDsU "Conservation through Hunting" | |||

Cool video. Thanks! I'm not sure I would like creeping around in swamps full of hippos.

Retrieving a hippo from the water is always a goat rope involving a lot of man power and the Cruiser if possible. It's an EXPERIENCE! MARK H.

It is totally dependent on what type of rolling you planning on doing.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

This is the way they do it in Zambia. Rolling A Hippo "If you are not working to protect hunting, then you are working to destroy it". Fred Bear | |||

Not if you kill in Zambia where I did! Wait 1 1/2 hours, when he floats tie a rope to him and tug up river in dugout for several hundred metres, ground him on a sand bar, take 15 folks and roll him to dry land, make pics, cut him up, canoe across river 4 or 5 times wenching up meat over high bank, run off crocs and another bull coming to check, give most of meat to Game Scout training camp who helped you out.....oh yeah, go lay in river with water up to chin to cool off while butchering and fill hat with water and pour over your head....other than that, to get him out of water , you squeal like a cow in heat... | |||

I had wondered what you guys do with the meat. I have to figure you give it to locals. I'm sure they won't let you bring it back. What does hippo taste like?

There must be a zoo nearby, although they might get a little touchy? | |||

You hit the nail on the head!!! I once had to tow (with a L/C) a small tractor and L/R that were trying to pull a big Hippo Bull out of a river - Unfortunately I didn't take a photo cause we were racing against time!! Admittedly the L/R was an older but still would have been a classic pic! | |||

Then tend to have a hissy fit when I show at the zoo with my rifle. Sand Creek November 29 1864 | |||
