ZAMBIA: BOWHUNT: Dugga Boy In The Salt

Wow awesome old battler there for sure, well done, even more awesome with Bow & Arrow tackle .

I love hunting Hippo on land but a few make it back to the water to die as I suspect as happened here & took a while to recover him ?

Hence you need a car Jack to get his mouth open ?

Love your picture. Great croc and especially with a bow. Would love to hear the story. From a blind? How far away? Shot placement? How hard to recover. Details would be wonderful. Congrats

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
