African hunting, full movie of the Decker family hunt.

By popular request we have combined all 10 episodes of the Decker Family Hunt into one movie.
The two groups had a blast on their African hunt. A bunch of plains game species were hunted, and the kids were taught a bit about tracking, skinning and also had to eat liver and heart from their first kills.

I am not half way through your video and I am in tears. I have been to Africa 14 times. Took my son twice. Was going to take my daughter and she wanted her oldest to make the trip at 18. I was not wealthy my job took me to Africa and I made great friends there. I am sure your children and grand children will remember those days in Africa until the day they pass to a better life. To share the experience with your family is so special. I wish I could have taken my whole family there. Africa is so special and I would be there now if the virus had not hit us. I love your video and wish every family could experience your thrill. Cheers, David Fowler

[@AfricanSunProductions]

I'm sorry you couldn't make it to Africa this year. Hopefully we can get back some normalcy soon and hopefully you can still make it over here. Family time is Africa is priceless. As you mentioned a trip like this is unforgettable. Best of luck and health for you and your family.

[@dungbeetle14]

I can see from the emotions of this family their huge respect for the wildlife. What a great memory for this family. We've lived in Botswana, Zambia and now South Africa for many years and have shared the joy of the African bush together. All of my kids have had the opportunity to walk and stalk and harvest an impala or warthog. Great memories.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Thank you for watching and for the great comment. Hunting, if done right, is something that forms a very special bond between families. I'm glad you had the opportunity to experience it.

[@harveyhoffman5477]

Good morning, Last year I took my daughter, who is 30 years old on a safari in Namibia. We had an awesome time. I believe this is the reason I enjoy watching your movies that involve families. After seeing the pictures my youngest nephew said that he would like to go on a safari and take a zebra. I am now in the process of booking another safari (in four years) with the same family we stayed with last year. As we get “closer” to our safari I will very much consider contacting you to video our hunt. You and your company do an amazing job!!!!

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Namibia is great, and taking you family on a hunt in Namibia is awesome, well done sir. I always enjoy working with families. I'll be honored if you'd consider ASP for your movie, I hope you can do it in less than 4 years! You can email me any time, my address is on all the movies. I hope you enjoy each and every movie I upload!

Sheesh, the angle of deflection of the bullet exiting the bushbuck was incredible! Definitely need to keep that in mind when taking a shot in a herd.

It is truly a pleasure to see hunters like you come to South Africa. The appreciation, love and respect you have shown towards the bush & animals is awesome to see !! Many come here to "shoot".

Wow, you have literally been this family's "African videographer" for years now. That's pretty crazy. I imagine you will be for years to come with the size of that family. Not sure who you have spent more time with, this family or Greg, man Greg is a hoot to watch.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Indeed! It will be a close match between the Deckers and Greg. I definitely won't be able to chose only, even if I was forced to. The love and respect this family has for everyone they meet, all the animals they see and for one another is amazing. They set a beautiful example. Greg is definitely one of of the most fun people I've worked with, and he has a very small heart. He'll go out of his way to help others and make your life so much happier.

There really was a lot of people, right! AND there was three generations sharing the same name so we names them Tim, Timmy and Timmiest. Thanks for watching!

[@Nachopiatti1021]

@@AfricanSunProductions ok I got it! There was also two different guides (maybe not the right term) what were their names? So a quick question are their differences in the ability to hunt Black and Blue Wildebeest? (Maybe one is protected)

[@AfricanSunProductions]

The guides, or Professional Hunters, were Super and Nicus. Great guys. The Black Wildebeest used to be protected, their numbers were very low. Due to continued conservation efforts fueled mostly by hunting outfitters, their numbers grew to a very healthy and sustainable amount. This is the whole idea behind sustainable utilization. Increase and maintain wildlife numbers through funding generated by hunters. It works very well.

@@timdecker9106 What is 338 WinMag work in the kind of settings oh hunting that you do

[@timdecker9106]

@@roosterslounge1697 I love the .338 Win Mag. I took mine to Africa for our first safari and used it to take a kudu, a gemsbok, a zebra, and a black wildebeest. I think the .338 Win Mag would work very well on most plains game including waterbuck and eland. I would not use it on buffalo for a couple of reasons. First, it would be illegal in most countries who have a minimum caliber restriction of either 9.3 millimeter or .375 Holland and Holland Magnum. Second the .338 does not create a large enough wound channel to reliably and cleanly kill buffalo.

[@timdecker9106]

I sincerely apologize for taking so long to reply. I have no excuse other than I just simply missed seeing your question. In brief, the .338 Winchester Magnum is a very versatile cartridge that worked for a wide range of game animals during our safari in South Africa and Tanzania. I selected it because I knew that I was going to hunt a sable antelope in South Africa, and they have a reputation for being very hardy, or tough, animals to put down. I did not know what to expect in Tanzania, so I wanted to have a rifle and cartridge that I could use on the widest variety of game possible without having to worry whether or not it would be adequate for the task. Some would argue that the .338 Winchester Magnum was "too much gun" for the little civet cat - it certainly was much more than necessary, but it worked, and well! - and it was perfect for the Niassa wildebeest, Lichtenstein hartebeest, warthog, and impala that I used it for. Additionally, I did not expect to take an eland in South Africa, but when the opportunity presented itself, I knew that the .338 Winchester Magnum was "enough gun" to take Africa's largest antelope cleanly and humanely. @@roosterslounge1697

+-35:15m on the video, he says its a Limpopo Bushbuck - WTF? There is no such thing as a limpopo bushbuck. I have seen them Lmpopo, Mpumalanga and Gauteng, they all the same. I guess you blow the horn of the client if they pay in $$$

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Yes, this is the Limpopo Bushbuck, one of the 9 subspecies found across Africa. "Tragelaphus scriptus roualeyni" if you want the scientific name. If you've seen them in different areas and know what to look for, you'll see the differences clearly. The Harnessed Bushbuck in Ethiopia is one of my favorites. It's not a money making scheme to lie to clients about sub-species, clients with enough money to come and hunt in Africa aren't stupid, they do their own research and a quick Google search will show you all the species. Thanks for watching, and thank you for your comment.
