Larcher, that croc shot is a pearler i.e. brilliant. I have been to Africa 5 times, the last time I was determined to shoot a big croc, we found one. What I have learnt on crocs is unless you are a marksman or VERY close you need the right shot. My biggie was in Mozambique and a 15 footer. we were about 70 yards away and I had to shoot prone with a double, he was lying away from us. I should have passed on the shot and moved around so we had a side on shot at closer range. I was too new to the game to voice an opinion so I took the shot, hit him a bit too far back, hit him in the lungs I reckon then raked forward, he was dying but not finished, we never recovered him, still guts me

The double also left a very nice scar from the scope between my eyes ! rgds
