Oh gotcha what was I thinking lol
I was referring to the broadside target practice photo but I hope to get a croc close to that size! Congrats!Like this?View attachment 606792
That is our plan, except we won't be baiting from what I understand. One shooter for the spine and another for the vitals and maybe?? a third for the rear spine leg area or vitals also?Croc offer one of the toughest shots of any african game, unless you are hunting in a game pan.
You must make a perfect bullseye on your first shot every time. Please allow your PH to assist with an anchoring shot (shoulder). Do not hesitate to put a second or even third shot into its brain, spine or shoulder.
When possible I like to place my bait (after drag). After I have spotted a big croc. If we have decided nothing smaller than 14 ft then place bait 14 feet from water.
A blind is usually necessary and should be carefully blended into the environment. When possible use a natural blind, boulders and maybe a leafy branch, etc.
Three days ago the ferry docked here in Mlbizi while the passengers were loading and unloading a 14-15 footer took a cow right at the ramp.
The on scene fishermen were able to recover the cow.
Watching clients with various calibers, I would pick .338 WM with a premium expanding soft.
We are about 90% shot fired and 80 recovered location Zambezi River.
Good luck, Lon
I assume you are hunting a farm pan. (No bait). Why no brain shot? Front should (anchor) gives you more time. Any way do as your PH saysThat is our plan, except we won't be baiting from what I understand.

Mozambique. I would prefer to keep the skull intact. I never guide the PH.I assume you are hunting a farm pan. (No bait). Why no brain shot? Front should (anchor) gives you more time. Any way do as your PH says
