I think you should do some research regarding your "Reedbuck slam" a Grey (Vaal) Rhebuck's scientific name is Pelea capreolus and is not related to the Common Reedbuck (Redunca arundinum) and/or the Mountain Reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula). According this information only 2/3 animals qualify as Reedbuck. Also note the following in Afrikaans (Vaalribbok, Rietbok, Rooiribbok) and English neither of the 3 have corresponding names, where one's name always differs from the other two. Please pardon my ignorance and enlighten me on your thoughts regarding this slam.
@phjournals9 күн бұрын
I am fully aware that the Vall Reedbuck or Rehbuck is not part of the family nor is it an official slam. However for a couple years now it has been seen as a slam package. Why I compared the 2 was purely for different habbitats around the country. I think by diving to deep into that aspect will take away from the actual focal point of the experience of the Hu t. And if you think I am in what ever way misrepresenting or misleading information then I will remove the video.

Just some slams that aren't related. Beast slem Spiral slam These slams are have no family relatives however we associate them as a slam for marketing and purpose.

@@phjournals thank you for the response. I just wanted some clarification regarding the slam as it was the first time I have heard of it. I have been fortunate enough to have hunted all 3 of the species as well and really enjoyed the total different aspects regarding terrain and difficulties each one of them brings to the hunt. I enjoy watching your content and I am excited to watch your next adventure.

@@phjournals It would be nice if you did an episode on your podcast regarding all the different slams (official and unofficial) in South Africa. In order to bring more knowledge regarding them, to see how they originated and the different reasoning behind them. For example the spiral slam, since the different species aren't related anymore but they all have a distinct future in common. Alll of the species were apart of the genus Tragelaphus, but the Eland's genus has changed to Taurotragus in recent years. I think this could be a really fun episode to enlighten and educate hunters about these slams, and I am sure that I will enjoy it and will learn a couple of things. I do not mean to be critical but rather want to understand the reasoning behind the opinions in the hunting world.

A wonderful hunt Dylan. I watched with enthusiasm the effort that you put in. I love that stuff! I hunt every week in Australia for small game mostly and I love passion it creates in me. And I can see the passion in you. I will come back to hunt in Africa again one day and perhaps we can catch up and share hunting stories and beer.

Hi guy's as a South African hunter who has hunted for 40 plus years I've seen the changes in the hunting industry. I have never been able to afford a full on trophy hunt in my life up to now . I've seen prices escalate as the trophy hunting industry has grown in SA. I can remember when you were invited by a farmer to come on a hunt for kudu, bushbuck or wharever animals were on the farm as these animals competed with the livestock or agricultural activities on the farm . Now game has a value so prices have increased exponentially from an invite to hunt to paying for the privilege to hunt on a farm . I understand that the farmer has to make ends meet and don't expect a free meal ticket. There are non trophy animals on farms and animal numbers that need to be controlled. It's all good in years of plenty where the grazing is good and the farm can carry the larger numbers of game. Please let the local hunters hunt these animals at better rates than overseas hunters as we can also generate an income for the farmers and farmers at a cheaper rate than your trophy hunters. Accommodation doesn't need to be 5 star as we want to experience the outdoors. Simple self catering accommodation with a bed, shower and an outside braai area is sufficient for most local meat hunters. That is my 2 cents worth on the topic. Have a wonderful hunting season all hunters.

@serverlan763Ай бұрын
It's a strange situation for sure in SA. Just the fact that every animal has a $ value kind of sucks in a way, because it detracts from our desire and instinct to hunt animals for meat. I guess in a way we are lucky in NZ and Australia, where our deer are considered feral animals ( by the Govt) so essentially we are free to hunt on public land. We have our other issues though, like zero management, poaching and just indiscriminate unethical shooting.
@darrellblackman3988Ай бұрын
I do feel for South African Hunters. In Australia wages are much higher and some laborer's or semi skilled people get $25 American equivalent an hour. So it is not so hard for overseas hunters to access some countries based on prices. Perhaps priorities should not be money driven; but meeting the needs of fellow South Africans first. Just my thoughts as an overseas hunter.

I suppose the people in charge do not have a 'hunting background'. If they are from the left of politics and want to please everybody it is very hard to do. Politics and decisions are based usually on what politicians feel is good for their political party. If more people felt that this lion hunting is viable for people then politicians would 'swing with the wind'. Everything is popular politics and not always based on evidence or rational thought. Good luck with this as if they feel this type of hunting is not advantageous; then what other animals fall under the 'left wing hammer'

Courteney boots are hard to beat , best comfort and durable, they are real quality and so so soft and comfortable . My hunter pair is now 30 years old , they are been everywhere around Africa and the rugged landscape. The main reason why they don’t last long for some blokes who use them in the harsh bush in Africa is maintenance , look after them and use proper leather wax , some blokes are just hard on any kind of bush boot or any kind of shoes . A tip for socks … wear bamboo socks , they best for hot environments , no sweat .

100%. I met a guide in mana pools who hated his Courtney's.. he said they always break where they bend. They were as dry as a bone and had never seen wax/dubbin. I am the biggest Courtney fan but personally I find they not as tough as they used to be. My first pair was from 02/98 they lasted me over 20 years, I walked the soles off them almost 3 times. My last pair hurt my feet a bit and have lasted about 6 years. I still use them because they are quiet. I'm keen to try the new canvas/leather ones.

Hi, It is really important that you raised some issues that are in place in countries like USA and Australia. We cannot sell game meat or feral animals we harvest unless they have been inspected by a licensed meat inspector. This does not happen except in the kangaroo culling industry. I cannot see the problem with eating field dressed animals such as: rabbits, hares, ducks, geese, deer, goats, camels, and many other animals running loose and out of control in Australia. I feel USA has much the same regulations! It means that hunters of good intention are 'hamstrung' by clinical practitioners who have little understanding of all the meat that is left to rot in the scrub and grasslands. Just my thoughts. Keep up the great shows. I love your work

This podcast was quite an eye opener for myself as an Australian. As a hunter on a weekly and sometimes daily basis for vermin control I do not have to fork out much income to enjoy hunting. The context I suppose is that most of our animals are vermin and free for the taking. African animals are bred to support a large industry and keep the species viable. On an interesting point for me is that some concessional hunts in Africa are not really on large properties. It does not take long to find game if on open smaller concessions. This would be of concern to some people if it was too easy to hunt animals. Anyway, just my thoughts be they good or bad. I love your stuff. Darrell.

Good day, maybe I am not understanding you're topic of concern of the "strawberry leopard" but from what I can understand you are saying that a strawberry leopard is a smaller species of leopard and because of this will be pressured to moving into less densely populated areas which would put them in conflict with farmers? I just want to confirm that this is what You are stating in the video? From what I understand being a qualified Fieldguide (Fgasa it is a association easily found online) which is a widely recognized association and all if not most top lodges in south africa use fgasa guides, and from all the different training providers and mentors, I have never heard of a strawberry leopard being a separate species, just a color morph just like a melanistic "black impala", I find this a very interesting topic (this is how I found this video) I would just like to know where You have sourced this information, as I am very open to learning more about it? Thank you Also the latest "strawberry leopard" that was spotted and photographed was in welgevonden game reserve in the waterberg mountains where I am currently based, Have a great day

Hi Phillip Thank you so much for this comment. So where do i start well there have been sightings of these leopards from across the country including places like The ceres mountains and even now we have had sightings in the eastern cape. The original assumption was that yes it was just a color variant like i mentioned in the podcast but over time and more sightings scientists wildlife enthusiast are starting to think maybe its a subspecies to a larger leopard. While i cant state for sure and will deffinantly do more resrech on it. My idea of the podcast was to spark intrest and drive enthusiasim back into the predatory tourisim fold as i feel it will be under threat in the next couple of years. But hit me up would love to have this discussion and take it further.
