.....three ways to hunt big lizards.....ambush over a sunning spot.....stalk and over bait..... I believe Expat has the answer to his prayers of Option 3 now.... No one ever wants to hunt with me...
In Carolina we hunt them like men. You have get close enough for them to bite you before you can shoot them. No baiting allowed. I shot that one with a Glock 26 from a range of about 3 inches. For you in Austria, I don’t know how many kilometers that is.
I’ve jumped onto a 7 footer’s back and shanked it where the spine meets the skull after securing its head. Biggest adrenaline dump I’ve had hunting anything except maybe hogs.
I killed one near Canadys, SC. Near the Edisto. Sort of became a pest. I still have an arrow quiver some where. It was 20 years ago.
