Being raised in an orphanage in Russia, I really appreciate you helping out the orphans in your area.

[@callofthewillman4469]

I’ve been a hunter of North American game all my life I was raised in the native villages of Alaska I have never taken the just the trophy and the back straps and left the rest! many people in North America use every part of the animal just as you do, I know I do and my people do we use every part hoofs for glue we tan our own hides, and we don’t give anyway because we need it all to feed our family

[@peterv1318]

I also comment on this. Most all hunters in North America take all the meat.

[@manlybaker3098]

"WANTON WASTE" is a crime in the USA and Canada. In most States in the USA, you may also do time in JAIL, along with paying "replacement" fees ... fines ... lose your firearm and your vehicle, may be charged with a FELONY and lose your right to own or even possess a firearm and/or ammo. 😐😐😐😐

[@stevEN-es7pd]

It should always be the way youre doing it. Hunters should always do their best to show their quarry the respect it deserves by taking it all back, not just a trophy and a couple of back straps. Much respect to you, Anton and the others for such great shooting, and sharing a fantastic philosophy when it comes to the hunt.

It's amazing how these guys make such precise and shots at their game. Always amazes me when the camera zooms out and you see how far the shot really was. Hats off to you fellows from South Africa!

[@kennethbailey2616]

In the US we use all of the animal too. It’s illegal to waste game. Weather it’s a pheasant or moose.

[@peterv1318]

Thank you. I also commented on this. I like his videos but he doesn’t know North America hunting so he shouldn’t spout off fake information.

[@leftymadrid]

Anton, so young but so mature for his age! Seems like he's a great person, and a great hunter attitude and character... Matt, your shooting is fantabulous! Been following your videos for a hell of a long time my friend, I remember your first hunts with the AA air rifle. You seem to be in heaven, is the way I see it... I mean living in South Africa, and to be able to hunt all kinds of game, from small game to large game, AND helping out the farmers in their quest as well! Wonderful healthy wild eats to treat yourself to, dear lord, what else can one want?! Stay safe :-)

Great Video, Great shot Anton, im always glad to see in each video the game you shoot never goes to waste

[@kendallanthony6230]

Hello sir I want to say congratulations on the great hunt but I wanted to correct you on one thing that you said about in the United States about just taking the backstraps and the trophy and leaving the rest. In the united states we are required to take every edible other than organs out if you leave the meat it is called want and waste and you can loose you hunting license for many years. Most states have a program that if you only want the trophy you are able to donate the meat to homeless shelters. Sorry to rant but I didn't want people to think wrongly of hunters in the United States.

[@Andy_M986]

Most Hunting companies in NZ,take everything,on camera they take the head and horns,but the whole body is recovered by helicopter or 4WD later on,nothing is wasted.

[@peterv1318]

Also in North America nothing is wasted. Mostly taking out on ATVs

[@dirkvanvuuren2598]

Love this. Difference between hunting in NZ is you don't have help to take more meat and you're also carrying a 20kg+meat pack out of the mountains. Great content Matt!

Congrats on the new rifle. It made quick work of that hog. Its odd to see Matt Dubber without a beautiful GRS laminate stock. Its really cool to see you include Anton in your footage. Next generation being taught by the best! Thanks for another outstanding video Matt. We live in the golden age of entertainment when we can sit back with no bugs, sun, dirt, or waiting around, on a hunt in South Africa. -Watching Zebra and warthogs nonetheless!

[@danlewis6157]

I think it’s important to note no one I know here on the US would take the trophy and back straps and leave the rest. What we would do here, lacking the number of people to help carry out the meat, is gut, skin, and quarter or bone-out the meat. Then we carry out the meat, leaving the hide and horns/antlers for the last trip. As far as I know, all states in the US have strict laws about “wanton waste” of edible game meat.

[@peterv1318]

It’s federal laws about it. But most states take it farther on prosecuting the person. Like Alaska you most likely will get jail time and lose your gun rights for 10 years or all together depending on the charges.

[@geojohnson5613]

Matt, great video as always. Thank you too for the explanations of the reasoning for taking the Zebra. Nice shot by that young man! 👍 Geo from USA

[@Murdinator60]

First off I love your vids! And I love the American flag hat! But not everyone in America is just a trophy hunter. I’m in Colorado and have tracked back and forth mile after mile to get a whole elk out of the woods. I only leave skin bones and innards behind.

[@wnchstrman]

Even "trophy hunters" mostly eat their kills or donate the meat. Don't know where people are getting the idea that isn't the case, or that there are all that many trophy hunters either. Most hunters I have ever met, and that is a LOT, are mostly out to fill their freezers with better meat than you can find in a grocery store.

[@crucifyrobinhood]

This is getting stupid. It's a felony to take only head and backstrap on any game animal in the US. I'm getting tired of waiting for Matt to make a retraction here....

[@laknox88]

Matt, I have to chuckle a bit over your dove hunting. Back in the day, like the late 70's, we used to field about 30-40 hunters during dove season here in Arizona, and (the statute of limitations is run out) we'd take a limit of mourning and white wing in the morning, come home, clean 'em, take a nap, then go out in the afternoon and take another limit. Limits back then were 10 mourning and 10 white wing, so a =lot= of birds. My neighbor, who hosted the hunt, would put on a big feed the last night (3 days, sometimes 4) that the "crew" was in town, and we'd grill up 300-400 dove and chow down. Guys would still go home with 100-200 birds in their coolers. Cool thing was, we'd only have to drive 3-4 miles out of town to shoot like this. Now, it's about a 40 mile drive... :-(

Daaaaaaang! Area is looking pretty green from the last time I saw a video

[@philippatton6691]

It is easy to see the damage the zebras are doing to the range. Their front teeth cut the vegitation so short that if they are over populated, other animals will not be able to eat. Too bad it is so hard to get people to understand why the numbers have to be controlled.

[@fransiapotiente6618]

Philip Patton I can understand the control but I can’t understand why to be killed. Find a different way to control it. For example move some population or something else. I am a hunter too but I try to respect nature and animals. What animal will be next? Elephants maybe? And don’t forget, the humans invaded to their home. Sorry guys but for me is a big thump down

[@bryanobrien2726]

The fewer natural predators , the more humans must do the job . At some point there will be no room for large predators in the wild and humans will have to maintain animal populations exclusively . It's just a fact , natural predators will be obsolete zoo novelties except in a few remote reserves possibly.

[@the.original.throwback]

@Hugo Adrian Wilkins. I find it interesting how different cultures choose which animals should be eaten or not. You are correct that most North Americans are horrified and disgusted by the idea of eating horse and yet happily gobble down cows which are often considered sacred in India. The scary part is that these beliefs are sometimes so strong that perceived violators can be at risk of legal or even physical harm.

[@tylerdurden3722]

@@the.original.throwback The ancestors of Indo-Europeans used to live primarily off horse meat and milk for thousands of years on the Eurasia Steppe. Horses were initially domesticated as livestock. Even horse milk seems alien today. Even though our ancestors lived off the stuff for thousands of years.

[@jarrettdossey7300]

There is a “field dressing” technique for those birds that only takes a second and then you can send them in to the kitchen somewhat clean for further process while you continue to hunt. Pull the breast out, cut the wings off, skin and feathers, and drop in the water.

[@toddkimber6725]

Ethical hunting done right! The use of meat from those animals is a far better than just shoot-drop-leave (although in pest control programs that is what is needed sometimes due to the remoteness, or prey type) but this is what hunting should be about, ethical shots, respect for what the animal can provide and providing a service to the land holder - PERFECT

[@bryanobrien2726]

Wasting big game meat is illegal in the US , everywhere that I know of at least .

[@bryanobrien2726]

Had to edit this ,(in my state) it's only a 4th degree felony if the animal is wasted while poaching , but it is illegal to a lesser degree even in season . The only meat you can leave legally is the rib cage .

[@Toms2ATime]

Nowhere in North America is it acceptable to "take your trophy and backstraps" and leave the rest of the animal that I am aware of. In fact, a "hunter" who did that would be subject to justice, of both the legal and woodshed varieties.
