Stay safe when hunting

Be Crocwise when you are hunting. Crocodiles blend seamlessly with mud and weeds and can stay hidden for long periods. They will see you before you see them.

Stay safe by:

  • staying aware of your location and how close you are to the water at all times
  • never go hunting alone
  • disposing of carcasses well away from the water
  • avoid shooting birds and other targets on the water
  • keeping at least 5 metres away from the water’s edge.
