I think that the problem would be if you don't kill it with a brain shot the odd are it is going to go into the water, and I doubt that you could find a tracker willing to go in after it. I have seen shows where they shoot hippos in the water with brain shots also but the gases in their stomachs quickly bloat the animal and he floats to the surface for a easy recovery with a boat, that croc may just sink to the bottom and never come back up.
I don't know if you have ever watched Swamp People on the TV here in the US but when they are sniping alligators with high power rifles they use a very large weighted treble hook with a line attached to hook the gators in the skin to get him up off of the bottom of the water and up to the boat.
