Different Kind of Big Game Hunting, i.e. .... Dangerous Game Hunting



PH and Client



They say no source of protein goes to waste in Africa.... except....



This croc has hunted humans as well asbeing hunted by them....



Here are things a little more sorted out....



Fording a river, or stream, or creekhere in NA just doesn't carry the same gravity, yet....
Just a fact of life in Africa I guess.... seems to happen practically daily.

Did you shoot it becasue you knew it ate someone or was it a suprise to find that in the stomach? That is bizarre im shocked it was able to swallow the body in such big peices.

EKM

I didn't shoot that croc or have anything to do with it.

Given how slow these hunting boards are on the heels of the fall season and what should be prime time, I thought perhaps a different environment and thedifferent discussion of something besides cervids might kick things up a notch.
Personally I find this kind of environmentwith thepoverty, civil unrest, lawlessness, war vets, disease, famine, heat, language barriers.... to bequite a bit differentwhat I am used to and would provide a different ah, er, agh, uhmm "class" of adventure compared to the "nice but ho-hum elk hunts".... these factorsalone would be provide achallenge to the trip and then, oh, yeah....

....then there is the hunting and the adventure that dangerous game brings .

I imagine this client may have a leeetle different view of the world than before he left home. [][]
I think I would too. Sorting that mess out, just might temper your steela little bit.

That would be slightly unnerving to experience firsthand.

People that live in Africa should've been born with eyes in the back of their heads as well!! I've read some stories by Capstick and a few other accounts where divers would go down in the river after a Croc/Alligator attack and find claw marks the victims were leaving in the river bottom. That's got a be a horrifying feeling...

These things are definately always an eye opener for those who take what they have here in the states for granted. Brutal but that isn't something out of place over there.

Holy Crap! one thing if you shot it because you knew of its activity, a totallydifferent situation if it was going to be added to your list of prized game![&:] uhhhhh.....hmmmm.....not much else i can find to say about it right now lol......other than what your arse when hunting with big dangerous game.

Wow talk about an eye opener.Hunting in the southeren part of the US I have stop and thought about this happening to folks or my self not being careful.This sure make a person wake the hell up.I have thought about some of these Bear attacks and Cat attacks.I dont ever go anyplace anymore with out some sort of gun on me.If I ever go down in the woods or the swamps.It wont be because I was empty handed.

WOW!! Over there you are not only hunting but being hunted.....I still want to go someday though.

You don't need to go to Africa to be eaten in the swamp.
