Outback Wrangler - Matt Wright

I know not strictly hunting but is this guy the real deal and is his show on NG purely for the camera or is that how you guys operate?

Cannot imagine that it is cost effective flying choppers for hours just to rescue crocs? Also he seems mighty pro animal rights you would wonder if those cattle are bred to look at or to turn into steaks?

For sure he can fly and is pretty ethusiastic but what's the local opinion?

Can't say that I've ever seen the show.

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 watched a short piece on youtube and had a look at a few others on him.

Seems the real deal, slightly less over the top than Steve Irwin.

Quite a few property owners up North get crocs relocated instead of shooting them and he's not the only one to do it (apart from Rangers).

I am sure a bit of it is played up for the cameras but nothing he did with the crocs was that dangerous - he knew which end bit, that's for sure and stayed well away or had it under control. I think to the uninitiated, it looks more dangerous than it is.

Just my HO.

Yep - relocated into a crocodile farm where they are generally shot the following day!!

Relocating problem crocodiles back into the wild is a pointless exercise!!

Agree.

But they have to keep the lefty greenies happy by caging it in words that they like to hear instead of telling the truth otherwise they won't go to bed all warm and fussy after watching it !!! LOL

I was watching something the other day and a croc made some huge return journey back to where it was captured - we're talking a thousand of kms or more.
