Trophy Hunting Nile Crocodile
Inexperienced crocodile hunters might be fooled into thinking that these giant lizards are lazy and lethargic as they basks on the riverbanks This is absolutely NOT the case as Crocodiles are shy, wary, and extremely cautious creatures which are very difficult to approach on foot.
They are hard to kill quickly and cleanly and if your first shot doesn't anchor it, you aren't likely to get another chance at shooting it as it retreats to the safety of the water.
Only two shots are effective in anchoring a crocodile; a brain shot or a shot into the spinal column just behind the head.
Please note that a permit needs to be obtained to hunt Crocodile (30 days notice).
Recommended Calibers:
An accurate .30 caliber rifle fitted with a quality telescope with which you can consistently hit a golf ball sized target at 80 - 150 yards is the right medicine for a croc.
