[@raudhampton]

Another great video. I just met this gentleman at the Extreme Benchrest in Arizona and found him to be just as genuine and gracious as he appears in his videos. He provides a great source of escape for me. My work is stressful and his videos provide a great relief.

Beautiful landscape added with incredible marksmanship earns another subscriber!

[@01MrVik]

this squirrel-shooting game has great graphics. is this for pc or xbox?

[@nostromo4269]

there's a farm about 100 miles from my home were we hunt ground squirrels. we typically get 100 or more each on an average day, but we are using .17's, .22 mag. great fun. really enjoy your videos

[@BlackWolf18C]

The modern air rifle is just as good, if not better, than a rimfire for small varmint hunting. I've dropped groundhogs from ~150 yards with my .17HMR, but you're right in that it'll scare the rest of the game away for hours. For repeat kills, the only thing you could used unsuppressed would be a .22 short subsonic, which is probably inferior in ballistics to the kind of PCP air rifles you're using. They're really marvels of modern engineering.

[@bradmarthafocker4285]

Hold on, I'm about 8:40 in, and this boy said please AND thank you when Matt offered him some chips. I love the good manners, especially on the young children.

[@minionman6177]

As a yank, I looked with suspicion at a bottle of Mr's Balls Chutney from my SA work buddies. I have a case in my pantry now. Good stuff.

[@butobilat9571]

8:47 Take those carbs away from me. Lol! HAHAHA

[@army764]

Your videos are the best on KZbin.

[@yeguerlifts]

Best small game hunting videos right here

[@charismainvestments9140]

Wow, i love the low light cam capture of the flashlight trails. looks really good!

[@airgunhunterextremechannel1103]

Good stuff, remember if you are ever out my way lets do it. in fact if you come early to the shot show I can take you out one morning, Keep it up Matt

[@alemchelth]

when you're doing the instant replay with the cannibal squirrel, did you notice that the pellet passed thru that sitting still squirrels head, hit the chunk of wood behind it and moved the whole piece of wood?

[@niklasalmaas6369]

Not very impressive, 30 footpounds is enough to kill a deer with a brain or lung shot.

[@bruceleeroy872]

Wonderful shooting and excellent pest control! Keep up the good work! Can't wait for more videos!

[@regsparkes6507]

Just as Vincent ( below) said,...great video,..better shooting !! Thanks for the video and your time too make it.

[@flyingninja1234]

Squirrel stew sounds really good.

[@cirethgr8]

Awesome vid & EXCELLENT shooting. Loved the slow motion and the zing of the pellet. LOL

[@chriscoogan8090]

Great footage! Not a negative but I reccomnd you use latex gloves on picking these up, the ones we shoot here in Ca are filthey!

[@garypostell5268]

Great shooting very accurate!

[@cazchanel6049]

Hello Matt, Greetings. My name is Charlie, I'm an Indonesian living in the Nias Islands. I Really Like Your Videos on KZbin (Hunting)

[@alemchelth]

Ox wagon. Pretty much the same thing as the Conestoga wagon the American pioneers used to cross north America.

[@mrjockey87]

Wow they really piled up good! Nice shooting indeed!

[@tomatepintor6203]

Buenas Matt, una mira Element para el Fileldtarget, la distancia máxima son 50. Metros. Cuál me recomiendas. Muchas gracias

[@Martin-kq3qw]

What pleasure to watch another one of your fantastic videos Matt, keep up the good work !!

[@VinCent-xy5lg]

Willyboy47 was in SA many years ago but never got around to doing any hunting, I very often think of the place but I think it's too late for me to go back there now. Keep making these great videos Matt. Cheers.

[@g.a.5]

Nice shooting. What caliber is this!? Thanks.

[@Swede_4_DragonBeliever]

Greetings from the land of the FX impact. Great upload.

[@pdoggy10inch]

Those ground squirrels make a great stew!!

[@anamericantoreview1132]

do you match up your cameras lenses and tube that surrounds it with the diameter of your scope and just use like some PVC to bridge the gap and get the proper distance

[@petebachman5694]

Great video, Matt (and Luke!). Knocking down those populations is vital for farms. I'm REALLY looking forward to the long range hunt next vid. Also want to add: South Africa is a gorgeous country. Rugged and beautiful without the crazy sense of forboding that some terrain that is just vertical. Someday I hope to make a trip there with my wife and take a look-see. As an aside- I don't have local GS, but the grey squirrels have really put a dent in the native songbird population. Since I started working on them, a lot of the smaller songbrds have bounced back.

[@oldpete3153]

I clean up these guys on a Dairy farm, usually 2 to 3 hundred a year with a .17 HMR and noise isn't a factor, after a few kills I just move on to another corner of the field and carry on. No retrieval at all they get mopped up over night by Coyotes, Hawks as well as Turkey Vultures. Farmer just loves it and buys lots of ammo as they just desimate the field's.

[@pauldoyle9709]

Nice one Matt, great bag of squirrels there ! Love your vids.

[@lostsoul3154]

Good shooting mates! Those are 2X the size of ours here in Kentucky.

[@mahdadab5002]

Your videos are awesome, very informative and entertaining. Yours and Tedsholdover are the best air weapon channels. I like you equally much! Keep up the good job =)

[@Johnsplots]

This looks like so much fun!!

[@CRA677]

Why did you decide to forego mounting the Sidewinder on the Impact? I'm questioning because I will be getting an Impact and am having a hard time deciding upon what scope to get.

[@chrisbrown6780]

Love it! Varmint control is so important.. Keep posting! yeah and send me some of that jerky!

[@anamericantoreview1132]

looks like some of the ground squirrels you got there are about the size of our fox squirrels receipt here in New York that can weigh up to two and a half pounds.

[@joshuanorman607]

hey matt, do you know where sub 12ft. guns can be had in the states? 15-30 shots per fill can get frustrating when I'm never gonna be hunting past 30-40 yards

[@tandtoutdoors5154]

Great vids man. Always some great hunting. I was wondering if you know of a single ring that mounts to a 1inch scope so you can attach a small camera to film from the side or top instead of through the scope?

[@ruthless4645]

I live in Canada and i'm a huge fan of Boerewors and Mrs. Ball's (sterk) chutney. Also love Biltong, unfortunatly we can no longer get Ostrich biltong up here so it's beef only for us. BTW, I'm not from South Africa, I'm from NFLD Canada, but my good friend is from there so that's how I discovered SA foods. Love pickled fish as well, some really good food in SA. Cheers.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+ruthless4645 That's great to hear!

[@bilistahill7886]

Just giving him a hard time in all seriousness he is a good shot n I really enjoy his videos n the airguns are great....

[@casperboo5465]

Great shooting guys, and awesome video quality, Cheers

[@huntjunky1]

Sweet...good times. Just a note, Matt. Be careful about handling the carcasses and eating without washing up. When these vermin proliferate, there is a propensity to be infected with disease. In Idaho, near my location, ground squirrels were ramped and had contracted the Plague. There were several cases of this becoming an issue, for humans last year. Want to keep you around for a while. :-) Thanks for the scope cam footage, by the way. I know it is kinda a pain in the ass.

[@apisdude]

buddy and I hope to make it out to Idaho to do some ground squirrel shooting summer 2017

[@inting488]

nooooooooo please r u telling us that we have new corona case ?

[@kookaluv]

Are the active during the night ?..have you tried spotlighting them?..

[@nelsonlund1306]

I went ground squirrel shooting in Alturas California and got about 200 of them and 2 badgers in just 2 days. You should make a trip to the states and get some hunting in.

[@rushrule1]

Great shooting as always! Keep up the great work.

[@djackson2978]

How do you discover land that's already been there but good shooting

[@mmathatoable]

I'm still asking myself the same question.

[@Frostyice2123]

Where do you obtain the suppressor from for this rifle and which is it? don't see a link in the description.

[@estellemelodimitchell8259]

If you have 2 squirrels in a line, could a single pellet kill the one at the back after exiting the first squirrel?

[@Neshra54]

Great video Matt ! What are the specs on your Frontier ? And lets say if they are same price ( 2.5x15 and 5x30 )which one you choose for your application ?

[@mcchannelshit9979]

what kind of camera and scope mount is that? thanks in advance

[@armedpenguin3655]

Shot through the heart and you’re too blame, You give Love a bad name music. 🎶

[@eleanorhathaway927]

I think i need to visit SA and do some hunting, the views are spectacular! Good vid as always!!!

[@muslihchannel771]

matoh kang maat👍

[@MrDbowschnider]

Great video. Felt like I was there with you. Fun !!

[@ratanator]

Good work Matt love your videos keep it up 👍

[@kevinlewis8642]

Great video!! You got another American subscriber!!!

[@jaydavis7652]

are they good to eat compared to the squirrels we have here ?

[@jgmopar]

Are those ones pretty good eating? or do they have parasites?

[@TheZamboon]

We get Mrs. Balls in Zambia too and we love it!

[@juliannash3313]

you make the best videos dude

[@casper8835]

big fan of air-riffels and hunting birds/various pest animals. but som animals i just cant bring my self to shoot, i could never shoot a squirrel or deer. have you ever had a situation where you couldent bring yourself to shoot? or an animal you dont want to shoot?

[@kevinjones2088]

Great vid nice to see more with the impact. Can you do a vid on what all you can hunt with each caliber so i know which is best for me. I hope to be ordering mine soon

[@Chrisfragger1]

Curious, what do you do with the corpses at the end of the day?

[@bringruckus7900]

Damn dude, good shooting. Looks like you had a blast

[@cyruskiprop8476]

The second guy really send those squirrels on a quick comma

[@charleeboytruth8195]

Are they squirrel flavoured crisps?

[@elitecoldsteel]

7:45 Luke would definitely have unlocked sniper assassin for killing cleanly and concealing the bodies

[@davescopes249]

Not one single FEMALE ground squirrel was killed or harmed in this video. 🤣🤣🤣. Great shooting 👍

[@aarmcintyre]

What was that lightning coning from the ockswagon camp

[@yasuketheblacksamuraii]

plese tell me you washed your hands before eating those chips

[@Septimius13]

what are the firearm ownership laws like down there? i was wondering whether hunting with air rifles was popular due to not being able to purchase rimfire rifles, but it sounds like you have access to them just fine, and can even suppress them(illegal in a lot of US states)?

[@LomZem1]

Thanks for sharing great videos group squirrel hunting.

[@timothylondo]

Are the ground squirrels edible, doesn't seem to be much meat though.

[@manusmoolman9744]

hii matt with what pellets are you shooting and what speed

[@weaver4907]

Damn man this seems so fun man. How can i get to do what you guys do? Im from Malaysia btw. How did you start when you first start hunting?

[@laz0524]

That is a lot of power for a 177 cal, I was thinking of getting the inpact in 25 cal but now I'm not sure after seeing how much power you are getting from the 177, is that out of the box or have you done some modifications? Thanks

[@MegaMrpopeye]

its a .22

[@j.danaclark89]

Always great videos!

[@zone8848]

is there any double-kill shot? or at least tried?

[@jackhamel8271]

I am not familiar with the FX impact and was wondering what caliber it is.

[@visualflights4573]

Nice video. You made me buy my first pcp (only shot springers before) and my Robert Lane regulator is on the way. I just hope I get the install right without stuffing up the gun.

[@airgunningcolorado78]

he did the same to me! fitted lanes reg last night, pressure held. start testing when I get off work! excited much

[@danieldouglas9156]

your awesome matt. keep up the good work. come down under for the SA vs AUS test series this year.

[@CrowGB]

Hi man! Greetings from the UK, love the video's keep it up!

[@albertramsay847]

I thought that the squirrel attacking the one in it's death throes was due to the tail spinning being a sign of aggression, therefore attacking it. I could be wrong but you will see the same activity in tree squirrels too.

[@ilikepepsi2548]

What the hell was that lightning coming from their hands at 0:18?

[@jboslim]

what was happening at the camp fire in the beginning of the vid? i slowed it down and at times it appeared to me that lightning bolts are shooting around you guys and that you may have put something in the fire to cause that effect. what was that?

[@redredrobin7814]

What you're seeing is the time-lapse effect of the person walking w/ their headlamp on. The "flare" effect around the fire is likely just their headlamps (which seem rather powerful) shining into the smoke. Seems any "effect" this causes, while somewhat spectacular, is just incidental... / Take care...

[@jboslim]

ok. makes sense. thanks

[@dolijapan5507]

Sir , if I want to buy this air gun, where to buy and what is its cost? Please reply .me from odisha, India.

[@billsmith-rq7ki]

I just now finished the vid, come on now 13? how are you helping with control?

[@85k11]

great vid mate and some cracking shots there .it's a thumbs up from me

[@jadenkilgore3261]

what kind of scope cam do you have

[@josiahnoble7145]

love your videos good shooting

[@ninacrotch7843]

I am planing to buy the FX impact, what is the best caliber for long range(50 to 120 yards) Rabbit hunting?, please let me know. Thanks

[@chudson2]

Nice shooting! Not to say you are wrong but I believe they are displaying dominance and re-establishing hierarchy within the group. Not cannibalism. We see the same thing with wild turkeys here in the states.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Cody Hudson No, they get along just fine until one of them is shot

[@gopherking352]

Nice shooting bru

[@krismason1122]

do you know what fps your gun is that your using

[@awesomeness7809]

Really great video bro I would love to get the fx impact myself!!:)

[@SquirrelHunter]

Some top shooting there from both of you, Matt! That Impact certainly makes an impact by the sound of it ;-)

[@silviaites6932]

Why you doing this squirrels are cute

[@hellborn502]

What size and caliber are you using?
