Tips when Hunting Crocodile

While Nile Crocodile hunting in South Africa is an exciting and adrenaline-filled adventure, it is not without danger or challenges. Check out some tips when facing this member of the Dangerous 7:

• Crocodiles are more active during the early morning or late afternoon. Plan your hunt accordingly
• Dangerous game hunting in South Africa requires a minimum of a .375 caliber rifle
• The Nile crocodile is an apex predator and very good at what it does: Stay alert and ready for quick, accurate shooting when targeting this bloodthirsty reptile
• Ensure that you have an experienced dangerous game PH at your side when harvesting this cold-blooded killer
• These reptiles are renowned for remaining motionless in the water for prolonged periods of time. Hunters require a great deal of patience when Crocodile hunting
• Nile Crocodiles are generally hunted by means of baiting, targeting your prey from a blind, or the spot-and-stalk method 

Best Season for Buffalo Hunting in South Africa

While hunting is available throughout the year in South Africa, the peak season for enjoying Cape buffalo hunting – and, in fact, any hunting in the region – is during the cooler, drier months (May to September). During these cooler months, the hunt is more manageable in terms of critters and bugs, and the vegetation and grasses are also shorter, allowing the hunter to spot and stalk his prey more easily. Animals are more likely to gather in or around water holes, increasing the opportunities for hunters to complete a successful hunt.
