OH... MY... GOSH... Your intro and music absolutely floored me. You live in a land truly blessed by G-d. Your observation about a poor hunting day reminds me of my Pa's saying, "The fishing is always good -- the catching, eh, maybe not so much." Getting out hunting and camping with good friends is the reward in itself. If I find game, I am blessed. If I bring something to bag, I am humbled. G-d's blessings be upon you.

Could you please use feet or yards for American watchers?

[@ferratilis]

[@GopherM]

What a great life partner you have. Not only beautiful, but shares you interests in guns, hunting, camping, and enjoying the true beauty of South Africa. Whether you are hunting or not, most of the scenery you show us of your homeland is breath taking. Thanks for taking us along.

[@andreawunderer5220]

Mae be a fantastic day, but no body has the Right to kill Monkeys.

The oxwagon series is an absolute dream hunt and and 1 of my favorite journeys to watch on KZbin

"A poor hunting day, is still a good day" So true! 😎

[@thewiseman6866]

That's some beautiful land, awesome video as always

[@heathhalfhill6401]

A bad day hunting is better always than a good day at work my friends. Your blessed that you can make a living doing it and I am so happy for y’all that y’all can because I really enjoy the videos you share with us. I’m in USA South Western Pennsylvania. My are is beautiful with all it mountains but I have to admit…your country is absolutely breathtaking with is abundance of wildlife and habitat. Truly amazing. Thank you both for bringing us along. Stay blessed.

[@HerpaDurpVg]

Idk, I think I’d rather deal with a cubicle than be mauled by a grizzly or a polar bear. Like hands down

[@ingoeggers8356]

Hi Matt, I really hope you appreciate the fact that you have a pretty incredible (pretty female) partner that actually shares your enthusiasm of outdoor life. To the young lady Nicole, please continue your positive influence. Your content is amazing, sometimes I have real a homesick feeling, I'm an older guy, born & grew up in RSA, spent a lot of time in the veld & bush, learning to love and appreciate the fauna and flaura.

[@buddhistpriest1357]

My friend got invited to go to Africa in the late 80’s. I asked him what it was like. He said he shot monkeys until he felt bad. That scope is really nice!

[@Alltakenbla]

I like your effort and your pro attitude. I think that confirming every kill is essential to being called an environmental hunter (if such a term exists). I get that part of the thrill is terminating life from a distance, but so is the responsibility to ensure you have done just that. Else what are we when we say we are one thing and the outcome is different?

[@sharkattack3524]

😂😂 23:55 the giggle is hilarious because that would be me after every single head shot

[@HelenWheelsUtah]

Click. Like. Watch. Totally the correct order to do this whole thing. Excellent video, good shots, beautiful country. Cheers!

Just wow!!! those shots are incredible

[@nqumthemba]

Both your travelling and Hunting videos are Remarkable. Love the HD about them.😊

[@tjmeyer3037]

You might consider a drone rigged for monkey retrieval. There's plenty out now with the power you need plus it may help keep your scent outta the area of elimination.

[@72defender]

Man, I would never walk in tall grass or brush anywhere in Africa! Seems like an unpleasant surprise is almost a guarantee! You guys down there are a brave lot! 💯

this guy is crazy. parking that close to a cliff.... my car tumbled off the mountains between Flagstaff and Payson,AZ... 3-6 flips, car ended upside down. Luckily my car was a convertible top down.. i slid out the back. I'm terrified of mountains with no trees now.

[@Miguel-kw5js]

You are a true warrior to go hunting in flip flops and is not worried about getting bitten by poisonous snakes or venomous insects.

[@mouafishing559]

I always wonder how u keep track when adjusting the scope, now I know. Those revolution flags is a good thing to have. That’s awesome

Really enjoyed this video. I really got an image of a little part of your personal life and a big image of Africa. Wow! Also liked you showing the misses along with the hits. Love that. It’s real! More of these coming, I hope? I was wondering about snakes, what kind,etc.

The old timers used to tell me to let a goose age before consuming. Well after years of trying different marinades etc... I found the ticket. You need to let goose meat age before consuming! It works. I no longer eat tough geese. Let a whole cleaned ,plucked goose hang in a cooler, or breast meat in the fridge. Chow !

[@ingoeggers8356]

Follow up, your morals on not shooting the Warthog, TOP! Honourable! On the Goose, that is tough - make a Goose Potjie with lots of onions, a bit of garlic, with a good dose of pepper & orange juice/ fruit, let it simmer, maybe a shot of Tassies. Ooh dit kan net lekker wees, mmmhhh. By the way, plakkies=flip-flops=SSNG=SuperSlipNoGrip shoes. Pasop broer wees veilig ,dankie.

[@charliecurfman8859]

Seriously love the honesty in the videos. No excuses or cry baby stuff. Proper man.

[@pwrplnt1975]

Amazing video with very helpful information! Thank You!

[@RMuzzle]

Another great video, thank you Matt!

[@beyondtwominutes]

Of course it's good to use the meat but invasive species have got to be heavily managed. Super cool to see the mongoose and bat eared fox. The older I get the more respect I have for animals and enjoy seeing all kinds of species.

[@simonevanmetzinger3000]

Exactly what air rifle are you using

[@hardknockfitness1336]

This monkeys gone to heaven! -the pixies Shoulda used that as the background song 😂

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

We can tell you're a TRUE African by the fact that you wear "flip-flops" in the bush! Good Lord!!😊

[@Marcus_Shaw]

What an amazing place to be able to shoot, absolutely fantastic. Your videos are always so enjoyable with a wealth of information. Minor observation - the 2 shots around 20m 30s you have a little bit of flinch apparent, just a little twitch on the right eye and side. Can't see you doing it with your other setups. I sometimes get the same when using some zero eye relief such as with my NV007 Add-On, but weirdly I don't get it with my NV008 🤷‍♂️ I'm not sure exactly what triggers it with me but if I become aware I of it I can mentally stop doing it if that makes sense. Thanks again for sharing 🙏👍

[@toemag]

I nearly enjoyed your video as much as you did 😁

[@tuomasholo]

A bad day of hunting still beats the best day in the office.

[@AwlDeigh]

Production and quality is stunning. Nicely done

[@GeneralBadLuck]

i bet your SD card is taking a crap. swap it out and see if it still freezes

[@akenedy]

With huge hollow point cups on the front of those slugs, they truly are drag buckets. I am surprised those slugs travel even 200 meters, never mind 580 meters. But at that distance you can probably catch them safely in a cupped hand, they would have so little residual energy.

[@rgknowlton1]

I appreciate your decision not to shoot the warthog since you didn't have prearranged verbal permission. That's a nice reflection of your inherent respect for the landowner.

[@imhunter3841]

Nice Dubber and Nice video thanks Alot

[@jameshjackson3976]

I just love watching you shoot and your selection of music it excite me soo!!much.👍👱🤟

Where did you get the air rifle in South Africa? Please let me know

[@jimputnam7539]

That looks like a target rich environment to me!

[@divingdeep6872]

wonderfull video! thanks for the content! do you collect all the animals you shoot?

[@Alltakenbla]

Another way to judge distance is by using a stopwatch in this instance. Sound travels at 343m/s. I realized this possibility by watching your vids.

[@russellmcphee72]

Anytime you are in Witmanskloof, know it will be a great video. I dont watch your technical videos but the two of you deserve a great, life as normal vlog. :)

[@FodzyleGEEK]

Hello and thank you for your great videos and your explanations. I live in France and have been shooting PCP for a few years. I wanted to know your camera system which is present on your riflescope. You film while keeping the possibility of having an eye in the viewfinder. Is this system for sale, if so what is the brand or the site where I can find it and does it fit on all riflescopes? Thanks again for your reply. Have Fun !

[@bigfranksworld]

Great video. I would love to visit there someday...

[@donaldlundy345]

Awesome video Matt and it turned out to be a great hunt with a lot of excellent shooting you definitely from the sweet spot with going early morning and I'd say you and Nicole had an amazing time taking in the beautiful scenery. Cheers

[@akenedy]

Love the quality of your videos, especially your technical and informative videos on airguns and ballistics. I have hunted on occasion myself, but only for food or to eliminate individual pests that I directly witness damaging my property, landscaping or garden crops. I'd like to suggest you try free-hand shooting rather than always using rests and bipods. Much more challenging since the weapons and optics are so accurate now that, other than adjusting for wind and distance for which you're also using high-tech equipment, it's not much of challenge to make these hits now. Even the odds a little more, even if it means coming up up empty-handed on a hunt. These long-range hits are an impressive display of the equipment's capabilities...but stalking and free-hand shooting at closer distances are a real statement of the hunter's capabilities.

[@TheAdministration]

So what do you do with them afterwards? Do you get any sort of bounty for them?

[@tomguertin7713]

Great video work Matt.

[@mattyolo]

Is 15gr 5.5mm from a budget pcp rifle rated to around 650fps enough power for hunting monkeys at around 20m?

[@jamesjames4844]

With such low power of course it has not got the power to humanely dispatch a monkey

[@robbierobinson8819]

No. All you will get is wounded animals. Monkeys are tough.

[@luislimon3170]

Always nice video like all you make thanks Matt D, who know when is going to be released the FX auto? Is it true next January

[@rizco8543]

Shoes to retrieve. The rest great as usual. 😍

[@steveunknown8407]

If you made a partial ghillie suit you would get them monkeys a lot more often. My opinion take it for what it is LOL, if you had a water pump, each time you pass a creek suck up enough water to fill your tank and put out makeshift watering holes.

[@popsiclestick8405]

Looks like u where having alot of fun there

[@johnqpublic2718]

It probably would have resulted in a strike, but it would have been so fitting to hear "This monkey's gone to heaven..." at some point in the vidja.
