AH Members,
It looks like a dream is coming true as I have a croc permit in the works for my first safari in May 2014. My trip will consist of rifle and bowhunting but I will make some final decisions as conditions are weighed on location. I also have bushbuck, kudu, and zebra listed in my dreams(among many other species). Conditions, budget, and Africa herself will provide some guidance as things develop.
Searches on AH and the Internet have provided me with quite a bit of info for my hunt but I feel that there is plenty that I am still unaware of. Some things will be great to discover during the adventure but I would like to avoid mistakes if possible.
That being said, does anybody have any advice or info to add regarding a croc hunt? I am looking to spot and stalk with a bow and intend to stay away from deep water and large rivers unless I decide to switch to a rifle.
Any info will be appreciated.
P.S.
I posted this in the Hunting Forum as rifle and bow info is welcome. Please feel free to move the thread if appropriate. I am a bit of a knuckledragger when it comes to internet forums so I apologize in advance for clumsy participation.
