Perhaps limited safari hunting on a permit system on an ecologically sustainable basis..... of course.

I think the numbers have significantly increased since hunting has been stopped and problems have increased but let's not go "open slather" on them yet.

I think the numbers are so great now, a proper sustainable harvest could be possible.

Of course a safari based trophy hunting approach for a limited number of "big ones". To put the fear of Man into the old fellows.

But also a sustainable harvest say for hides from smaller beasts. They are numerous.

Under CITES over 600 saltwater crocs are alreayd harvested. This is never reported. Only the hatred towards safari hunting by the greenies. Also the famring industry, the Urwins and Australia zoo etc is always mentioned. But they would be competitors against a safari industry, who would take hidden and secret opportunities away from these profit making businesses.

If a safari industry was ever permitted, I would not want to see all saltie crocs going to money bags foreignors. A number of permits should be available under a tag or balloted system. Where then a hunt could be organised or even done through access on private land. Or through Aboriginal lands. Not everyone needs their hands held for a hunt.

If some member of NE who lives in west Australia could visit me and teach me to post photos the forum would be enhanced.

The advice to use picr.de came from Waidmansheill, who hails from Melbourne, I believe.

Rothhammer I appreciate your attempt to help. I am unable to follow those directions. I would if I could. My family refuse to help. I fall into the bracket as one of our members states “ those that live in the past are DOOMED to enjoy it “.

I can dig it. I still have telephones with dials.

Perhaps someday when a more willing and computer astute person visits, you could go to that page and have them walk you through it.

Couldn't happen soon enough in NQ!
What we used to do as kids in the 60's & 70's wandering around creeks etc we wouldn't dare do that now!
Just need to cull the bigger ones over 10 foot.
You'd never clean them out, they're like cockroaches & can breed just as good!
Too many 'bleeding hearts' saying they're endangered & we're in there territory....like crap!
They are now in places down south that from living memory have never been, just hope they take a politician! It will leave a bad taste in that croc's mouth for sure......they're full of sh!t!
