What do most of the successful croc hunters do with the skin and skull once the croc is in the salt? Tan the whole hide and bring it back and then what ? Hang it on a wall? Keep the skull only and sell the hide in Africa? What do you suggest?

I had mine made into a rug, lying flat except with the head in three dimensions. The skin is attached to a light plywood bottom and folds in three for transporting into my house.
My PH suggested this. I asked if it would hurt to walk on it. He said, "Only if you don't wear shoes."
So I have two zebra rugs, a lion rug, and the only 14 foot crocodile rug in my town! I also have the belly skin, about 4 feet long, mounted on a wall.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Glad to see your early thought process on this, you know we have a number of big crocs in the reservoir and another healthy population at shelanti! I'm sure you know this location.

I think I'd settle for a photograph of the beast, to hang on the wall.
Shooting a big croc would indeed be pretty cool.
