I’m Ian Bartlett, a former licensed professional crocodile hunter from Malawi where I spent ten years dealing with real man-eaters on the Shire River. Most of my work was problem-animal control—raw, unpredictable, and very real. Those encounters shaped my instincts, my respect for dangerous game, and my understanding of the people who live alongside it every day. I’m now based in London and recently published Memoirs of a Real Crocodile Hunter. Looking forward to sharing stories, learning from fellow hunters, and being part of this community.

Welcome to AH. We have some fun here.

Wow! Your book sounds like it could be riveting! Is it available in the US?

I just ordered your book! Welcome to the site.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate you grabbing a copy. Glad to be here on the site—looking forward to sharing a few stories from the riverbanks and seeing what everyone else is up to.
 
Is that the one by Mick Dundee?

Just joking. Sorry I couldn't help myself. I'll get your book on Amazon.

Thanks, Doug—really appreciate the support. Hope the book gives you a few laughs and a couple of raised heart rates along the way.
