Awesome tales, Nick !!

Once again, thanks for sharing this sort of articles with us

Yipes!!! And I let my son hunt them. At least they are not bullet proof, yet.

We were on a party barge on the Zambezi and just enjoyed looking at the crocs on the sand bars. We saw the villagers living at the waters edge and wondered how ofter someone gets eaten.

We need to tell our tree hugging friends in Southern California and the East Coast that river front property is cheap in Zim and Zambia.

Thanks for sharing! Great stories..
I wanna hunt them as well... My next African adventure might include an attempt for one..

Thanks for the story. Will be hunting crocs & hippo this fall in Zambia on the Luwanga river.

Consider the chief of beast, the crocodile
Who devours cattle as if they were grass.
What strength in his loins.
What power in the muscles of his belly.
His tail is rigid as cedar,
The sinews of this flanks are closely knit.
His bones are like tubes of bronze.
And his limbs like bars of iron.
He is the chief of God's works,
Made to be a tyrant over his prey.
And in his jaws he crushes all wild beasts.
There under the lotus plant he lies
Hidden in the reeds and the marsh.
The lotus flower conceals him in its shadow. . .

Nick,

Thank you very much for this article. If there is one animal I would like to kill it is the crocodile. The world famous Crocodile Bank in Madras/Chennai was not more than 20 miles from my parents' place and I used to go there often on our way to the ancient Pallava Archaeological struictures of Mahabalipuram to watch the beasts sun themselves and wonder if I would ever be able to kill one. In India they are very highly endangered with the exception of the Andaman Islands and even there only Navy personnel and tribals are allowed to kill them.

Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to bag one somewhere before I die.

Just want to say thanks for these stories Nick, I've read a few of them now and all are very interesting. Before I know it, my lunch hour is over and back to reality tho, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Yes, a definite 'thank you'. I don't how how you scrounge up these stories, but, as long as you have fun doing so, don't stop!!
