"If you get young ones running riot, it's going to introduce a little more risk to everything as far as humans are concerned.""

The younger one's run around anyway trying to knock off the big one's, or at least the food - until the big one comes along. And then if the younger one has the balls, a fight might ensue.

Strange! I was watching a documentary on on what was causing Croc attacks around Darwin. Seems the big old boys beat up the yonger males who then move out looking for their own territory and move into close settled areas.

From what I gather if you get rid of the dominante male the younger ones move about outside their territory less.

---

That's why effective management of the whole population needs to be done if the trophy crocs are taken. The younger females and males need to be thinned out as well. Just like with deer or any game species.

John, to me that is how management of any wild animal should be done.

From reading the aborigina; use to hunt crocs, but it would of only been the small to mid size that they would of taken, seeing as they were on bark rafts or dugout canoes.

Have a read of Hell West and Crooked, a good description of croc hunting by Ab's in that and the sizes they got.

I did years ago, can't remember anything about big(16foot+) been mentioned.

---

Probably because the Abs didn't make it back to land and became dinner for the croc !!! LOL

16 footer would crush a bark raft without batting an eyelid !


10 foot is one he mentions plus a whole load (11) dead crocs on the flood plain from moving out due to territorial problems.

I ate croc last month,bluudy tasty too,have had croc snags previously they were pretty good too.

I eat crocodile a lot. In fact the dog is going to get some tonight. While away from home it went off in the fridge. So instead of croc eating dog, dog will eat croc. But he will probably turn up his nose at it, being a spoilt gourmet dog!

As in eating croc "a lot", that means several times per year, maybe every couple of months.

Croc would be eaten a lot more, if we could go out and harvest our own ourselves. Fill up the engel freezer for the trip home. If people do it, and they don't have deep sun tans, generally it is kept quiet. I heard once, using a spear gun can be fun ....


No reason there should not be a legal croc season with tags available for purchase. Stuff this Abo BS all the time, ie provide money for the Abos ... those of us without the deep sun tans also are citizens. Stop the black racism ie pandering to the blacks and preferential treatment, in this country.

Bib Irwin is a complete fuckwit. As the rest of that name and breed. Every time corc hunting comes up, one of these Irwin rejects and retards springs up looking for publicity for their bullshit zoo. Completely commercially orientated, them wanting to make money, is why they try to stop croc hunting.

The Sting Ray did Australia a good deed in my opinion, and I said so in South Africa back when it happened. Three or four more sting rays wouldn't go astray ...

I ate some crododile once. It reminded me of frogs' legs - which are a bit like eating neoprene.

---

I best describe it as "fishy chicken".

But the flavour or perception of it can change from dish to dish, or time to time.

First had crocodile back in 1986, Aussie Saltwater croc. The same year I think the movie "Crocodile Dundee" came out. Then a couple of years later, had some Nile Crocodile in Kenya, and again some more in Botswana.

Ha ha, a joke, what makes croc taste like pork?

I wonder if there is a difference between Aussie salties and freshwater crocs in flavour?

Yes your comments regarding the documentary make a lot more sense and realistic behaviour than Bob Irwin's complete bullshit.
