Celebrate with crocodile steaks!

The Crocodilian Inn in RSA serves good ones.

jdollar,

Those gun cases are outstanding!

Where did you have them made?

Did you have the hides sent here for tanning, or done in Africa?

Tanning was done here but I don't know the name of the company my taxidermist used. Any company that does alligators ( and there a a lot of them in Florida and elsewhere) can do it.

Might this be a male or female crock?

See where I'm going here?

Price out a full croc mount before going. I was blown away at the cost. North of $5k from a local studio that does really good work. My jaw dropped once he told me and said they just take a lot or work. The idea of tanning in Africa then getting multiple items made sounds awesome to me, plus bleaching the skull.

Shoot it, ridding the area of that particular man eater.

Enjoy the hunt, take a few photos & walk away?

Seems like it could be an interesting hunt, but I've no desire to have a crocodile skull on display or a bunch of croc-skin goodies made.

Don't be shocked at the price of a full mount for anything. They are all $5000+.

Bighorn,

Ask your lady what SHE WANTS done with the skin. = Trust me on this: IF you ask her, she will likely say: purses, shoes, boots & you will never again "get any guff" about wanting to go hunting anytime/anyplace.
(Ask me how I know.)

yours, satx
