Zimbabwe man dies in crocodile attack
2012-05-09 20:53

Harare - A fishing club in Zimbabwe says one man died and another was hurt in a crocodile attack in the country's northwest.

The National Anglers Association said on Wednesday that Zimbabwean national Frank Trott, aged in his 70s, died after trying to rescue a friend paddling along the shoreline at Charara fishing camp.

Two crocodiles were shot dead by wildlife rangers afterwards and remnants of the victim - including intestines and clothing - were found along the shores of Lake Kariba.

The dead man was dragged away by a giant crocodile after the man went to assist his friend, said Mike Brennan, head of the fishing group. The friend, aged in his 40s and a fellow farmer with experience in the African wilderness, was treated for wounds to his waist and buttocks.

It seams that i have read where the crocks are able to snatch a person from a dug-out, canoe, small water craft with out tipping them over.,.

Gives a new meaning to a moving buffet line...
 
Brave man to jump in with the Crocs to try and save a friend.

james when i was fishing on the lower zambezi in zambia last oct, i was told that roughly between the red cliffs and luangwa boma it was averaging about one local fisherman a month being taken from their dugouts.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
