Bowhunting Nyala in South Africa

[@hjaltihjartarson]

You are such a great role model for all hunters. Great video as usual. Best regards from Iceland!

[@jameshagerman7681]

Thank you for posting this. It really does show the side of hunting that is to often overlooked. Great shot on the nyala and Matt welcome to archery

[@MrWildapil]

Cinematography is beautiful The videos of the hunts have improved a great deal. I am enjoying the stories that tie you and your fellow hunters together. Keep up the great shooting (rifle, bow and camera)!

[@toxophilite1953]

Matt, Congrats on joining the ranks. I have been shooting pellet guns and bows for decades and only recently I bought a PCP. I still love bow hunting deer and elk here in the U.S. and also love shooting my PCP everyday at targets and pests. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.

[@carlgarrod9235]

well done Matt I'm so glad that you shot the best over the better

[@Docleegb]

A great film from a great outdoors and hunting spokesman!

[@jakesidwell99]

The cinematography is Matt's videos is amazing, so professional.

[@zzzzz77771]

Good on you for choosing the ethical mercy kill over your intended quarry. All hunters should take the same approach but unfortunately not all do, so kudos to you guys and God bless.

[@RicJG7]

Stunning shot 8:50, feel like watching a space documentary now

[@billiebleach7889]

Yep...very nice, indeed. If I were lying on my back right there...I would probably leave the guns aside and take out my Steiner 20x80 binoculars....and watch the sky all night long.

[@justinam6030]

Probably the most professional looking videos on KZbin

[@TLRChad]

Oh look....another video of the absolutely gorgeous South African country. Stunning. While I truly enjoy the content, Matt. I do find myself not even listening at times and just enjoying the scenery. Don't worry....I do go back and listen to what I missed ;-)

[@arendbotha]

Setshaba Safaris, what an great place! Friendly staff! love it!

[@SpiritualAnointment97250]

Thanks amazing got a bow 3days ago still practicing

[@daniebecker7704]

Thanks for this one, its almost if the Njala know it was its last day and waited for the shot. I am proud to be a hunter and with the mindset that we are hunting animals that also feel pain is something we as hunters should never forget. God bless and keep up the good work.

[@l.i.archer5379]

You know your arrows will retain more energy downrange if they're heavier (just like a heavier pellet). I shoot Easton Axis arrows from my Bowtech Destroyer 350. With my 26.5" drawlength, I get 275 fps with a 385 grain arrow at 64 lbs. The Axis is also a thin diameter arrow and will penetrate deeper and give you more pass-through shots. Glad to see you guys paper-tuned those bows before you went out to hunt. I'm a professional bow tuner here in the U.S. and that's how I set up all my clients' bows.

[@rnmike1569]

Matt & crew...another amazing video, just beautiful footage. I've spent some time on a medical mission in Uganda, and a week long safari on the Masi Mara. It is an amazing place that you live & I only hope to go back one day!

[@alexandergrobler3749]

One of the best hunting videos...

[@regsparkes6507]

Really good videography Matt, especially the view of the night sky at the end of the Day 1, segment. Also I was thinking of the tremendous forces that must have been exerted during the fight that broke off both horns of the animal that Redge shot. Great video!

[@TheDarwiniser]

Im seriously impressed by this channel. Living the life. I can almost feel that sun on my face.

[@leilighet205]

Fenomenal story telling. Thanks for sharing!

[@robsycko]

Nice hunt I have not taken the shot a lot more than I have taken.

[@southafricanhunter6862]

Nice hunt matt.. welcome to bowhunting!

[@erichaskell]

Hunting is always best described using harvestable surplus and seasonal food bottlenecks as justifiers. That it's thrilling doesn't hurt either.

[@dillonaustin9205]

good video man. it takes a heart to do that for a animal. god bless u guys. u will be blessed

[@georgedaley1017]

Great video, please do more bowhunting

[@creative_expressionproductions]

welcome to bow hunting Matt! what an ethical sport when done properly. I'm Interested to see that you shoot the bow with your left eye dominant but shoot rifles with your right eye dominant? any particular reason?

[@cmac1100]

I was just wondering the same exact thing!

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Jason Manuel-Morgan I'm left eye dominant and left handed but my right hand is steadier. So I use my right hand for writing, etc. I'm different😂

[@creative_expressionproductions]

+AirArmsHuntingSA bru you throw out every rule book about target shooting right there!😂

[@airgunningcolorado78]

I'm the same way! write, throw, shoot right handed. first time I shot a bow I knew I was aiming correctly but would miss horribly. a friend's dad took me aside and had me hold a finger up on a corner of a building with both eyes open. then close my right eye. finger stayed in place lol. weirdest thing.

[@huntjunky1]

I've always contemplated this...I am right handed for everything except shooting archery or rifle. I am left eye dominant, which lends itself to shooting left handed and consequently, utilize my right hand/arm for the more important task of steadying the weapon, rather than pulling the trigger. Always felt this was a slight advantage. I guess that's why I never miss, just like Matt. :-)

[@TheIceman101]

I did a similar thing with a starving warthog that was going to die soon.

[@dheerchhabria4617]

Really fun and good video keep it up the best one of the best air gun channels

[@sindahir3]

great that you tried other hunting methods, respect. me myself wouldnt hunt for trophy only, but thats my personal Thing.

[@philippefrater2000]

Nice job, well done! Regards from France...

[@shehan123]

great video. Thanks!

[@Howardhandupme]

Matt, go for the cpx. I have one and it's a beast. complete pass through with a hypodermic from chest to rump on a white tail buck

[@rusticthumper5500]

Thank you for showing the difference between killing and ethical conservation hunting. Can I ask why you choose to use blue vanes on your arrows.

[@danilosteinke]

amazing shot nice.

[@ssevikeroutdoors7706]

As he says. All my friends were happy when I let them try my bow 😃👍 Nice one Matt, we expect you to hunt with bow form now on. Hares geese are waiting for on those usual farms 😃

[@alessandroteixeira9107]

vc é o melhor! assisto todos seus vídeos manda um abraço para o Brazil

[@jeandelaharpe4222]

Your best video yet!

[@brianmitchell4638]

Great Vid Matt , unfortunately bow hunting game is illegal in the Uk mainly because poachers were using mostly cross bows to take deer., the powers that be were not having their deer poached ,as deer stalking/shooting is big in the UK. atb brian

[@zzzzz77771]

Getting permission to have a rifle capable of taking down Deer is hard enough in the UK, let alone getting a permission where you can hunt Deer. It`s who you know not what you know in the UK isn`t it.

[@markvaneeden9238]

well done on your nyala☺

[@GHP99]

Nice work man! Video's also look good.

[@marcoantoniosantos3998]

legal mano!vc curte arco também!sou fã de seus vídeos,..

[@roberthunter6127]

Spooked all the other animals he saw apart from one old haggered Nyala...

[@currentlyunavailable1666]

Such a good video

[@plankrillpsn5010]

Sad to him go down but yous did the right thing good shot

[@ruthless4645]

Are you left handed and right eye dominate? Just wondering because you closed your right eye near the end of the video when you drew the bow. I'm in the that boat myself......

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+ruthless4645 I'm left eye dominant, my left arm is stronger but my right hand is steadier. I shoot a rifle right nanded and a bow left handed. It's strange, but I feel very comfortable that way

[@Baddream_TTV]

Hi i am realy new to all of this but im interested in a war scenario where no weapons are avaiable. If someone lets say is 150 Meters away from you wich Type of Bow would you recommend?

[@tedmotlapele3219]

where do i get that bow and arrow

[@lucstrydom5788]

Stunning

[@southafricanhunter6862]

What Arrows are you using?

[@mandlas.4305]

That nyala you shot looked sickly and that’s why it did even have the energy to run away. I hope you didn’t eat it.

[@yankeeinsa]

well done, all around.

[@Nolster1999]

do more bowhunting videos pls!!!!!

[@Throttle_Wrist_Adventures]

what are the titles of the dvds?

[@ewanarendse5713]

How much does the air arms S410 tdr cost ?

[@mandlas.4305]

It’s very hard to hunt with a bow out in the open. Once the animals smell or see you from a distance, they bail.

[@dustinhinzman]

they make a slip on cover for boots and a sole pattern called air Bob's are very quiet

[@nicolaasgroblerdaniel3788]

can jou please do a review on the air arms s200

[@wildmindtv8049]

Awesome video. Ethical kill. Bravo.

[@theaverageslingshothunter471]

I like fixed broad heads for large game because a lot of energy is lost opening an expandable broad head.

[@jameshealy4594]

I don't know that much about it, but it would seem to me that given the arrow passed completely through a fairly large animal, there was still plenty of energy?

[@justintempus7406]

It's just fine until you are off by 6" and hit heavy bone. Vital organs are very soft and easy to cut (ever sliced up liver to cook?). That apparent excess of energy disappears very quickly when your massive expanded broadhead hits a shoulder blade.

[@jameshealy4594]

Justin Burrows Fair enough, thanks for the info. Respect to you guys who hunt with bows, it's a pretty extreme skillset.

[@ma.leonoradelacruz9325]

Justin Burrows

[@zakktothefuture]

I have the same scale! but its covered in sticky stuff

[@monaosman6655]

I wonder if African hunters over thousands of years have that type of Bow?

[@treetoplurker7466]

isbthay Africa or Australia

[@juliannash3313]

I want that air bow gun

[@Quetzachapin]

That Nyala was clearly not well. It seemed that you settled for the sick one since you couldn’t sneak up to the other ones.

[@jefersonreis7772]

Como fasso para compra um arco com vocês? estou em Gana, fasso escala em johaneburg dia 17 de novembro 2016 indo para o Brasil.

[@jefersonreis7772]

meu email [e-mail]

[@felixmartinez7560]

this is cool

[@michaelt6840]

Hello Matt. If your a right handed shooter then why are you shooting a left handed bow?

[@billiebleach7889]

My dad does the same...seems to work for him.

[@richiej2640351]

I'm cursed with being right handed and left eye dominant also.. I shoot right handed with pistols but use my left eye but with rifles I shoot rifle handed and just close my left eye when aiming

[@faisalvideoarkdeafcricketb837]

De kock good

[@Fuzzybear-re4np]

Man Matt I should love to do this got any tips?

[@Fuzzybear-re4np]

Could u shoot autocorrect for me next time. It's should not should

[@papado5787]

🙌🙌

[@theaverageslingshothunter471]

Yes but i have shot deer with fixed expandable heads and lost them and the arrow but shot deer with fixed blade heads and found the arrow sticking out of the ground next to where the deer was standing

[@17sepp17]

Wow 👍🧠

[@Bruno47322]

Name of the music intro 00:01 ? Please 😍

[@rymdlego22]

18,5 km per 3 days ? lol i do that in 1 day working.....

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+George Freman Are you a postman?

[@rymdlego22]

Something like that yea 👍🏼

[@ficklegruber6112]

Are there many hunts that you get skunked and don't shoot anything? If so, do you end up with useless footage that you can't post because you didn't get the kill?

[@jasonkatashi6058]

is there some kind of poison in ur arrow head dude?

[@yankeeinsa]

it's called a broadhead....

[@gamingred5498]

Ну приехали , луков не хватало еще:(

[@momolaator6379]

You took so much

[@shahmeerhassan5549]

did it went through

[@timbow50]

Well done video. Great shot placement. That animal was ancient and in bad shape- good one to kill

[@TheOnlyCKalive]

What is this? Is Matt abandoning air rifle hunting?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Wouter Blom Wahaha why would you say that? It's been a week since my last airgun video😂

[@TheOnlyCKalive]

Hahaha! I know. But I know that feeling that once you shot something bigger with something bigger, then you do not want to go back to smaller. Love your videos!

[@refusesack4897]

mmmmmmmmmmm

[@justt_adam101calvert4]

[@james1795]

Immature. Justt_ grow up.

Does your Mommy know that you are playing on her computer?

[@eliasbaktiyar239]

hi is killing animals just to make money from youtube reklaming bow & airrifles.

[@יואבפרד]

NOOB ]

[@Gnulf]

Trying to give hunting a better outlook, and then you hunt animals that are fenced in ? thats not hunting in my opinion

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Gnulf Sorry to burst your bubble, but all animals are "fenced in" in South Africa. If you bought a Sable for $100 000, would you build a fence or would you let it migrate to the neighbour's property for him to shoot? The fences only line the outer borders of the properties though, which can be tens of thousands of hectares. It would take days to walk from one side to the other. Just thought I would educate you on how things work here

[@Gnulf]

well i understand your view of it, but i think you know what im thinking of to ? ;)

[@SeanNelShootingSports]

Gnulf Matt is right, and remember... fences keeps many predators (including poachers) out more than they keep animals in. The spaces are huge... you still need to find your animals, you still need to get your positioning right relative to wind and grazing pattern, you still need to be a master stalker. Whether the fence is manmade, or natural (ridgeline, river, gully) its part of your hunting planning!

[@Gnulf]

yes i know, stil feels wrong thou

[@SeanNelShootingSports]

Each must hunt his own way, and I understand what you are saying, but the preconceived idea or concept on paper of "fenced hunting" is a very far cry from the reality. That said, I respect hunters in their environment and the way they choose to hunt in the most ethical way. To each his own...
