Apparently he was checking leopard baits. May have been worried about the trees and got bit by the water. I'll ask on Saturday.

WTF is that supposed to mean?

Stlee5 trolls every thread he posts in. I can't recall seeing a single post from him that wasn't a troll post like this. The mods have really been slacking lately. Early today I saw a troll slip up and forget to switch accounts so he quoted and responded to his own post.

From what I have learned he was running his hounds on a leopard track on the Zimbabwe side of the Limpopo River. He and another PH split off in opposite directions, the other PH and the dogs all met back at the truck but Scott was nowhere to be found. He had also left his gun in the truck, the man feared nothing which may have been his downfall. That happened on 04/07, 12 days ago. The search was suspended on Saturday last after 2 crocs were dispatched in the area Scott's pack was found, the crocs had what appeared to be human remains and part of a boot in their stomachs. Very sad and tragic way to go out. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, 2 kids, and his brothers, all very close so I am sure they are hurting.

Scott was a friend of mine and an all around good guy, he will be missed by many. I hunted with him several years ago and we have been in touch ever since, saw him last year in Vegas and shared some laughs over a few beers. Hard to imagine how things transpired leading up to what appears to have happened, my guess is he was trying to rescue one of his dogs but I have nothing other than my gut to base that on.

Sorry for your loss. Is there any reason to suspect fowl play? The crocs would make a hell of a scapegoat.

Yeah. You tend to die after you get eaten by pretty much anything.

I'd expect you die just before or during, if we're going to split hairs...particularly since we're talking about crocs. Not a whole lot of swallowing whole for crocs.

He was trying to find a lost dog. The dog eventually showed up back at camp but he didn't. That's when they started looking for him and found his pack at the edge of the river.

To be honest, I had balls back then or I didn't know much better. Now it's a no go for me

The DNA tests confirm that the remains taken from the crocodiles were those of Scott. At least the family will have some closure now.

Thanks to those who have offered condolences, keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
