For those who would say just move or care for the animals in some other way, remember, we in the USA "care" for over 45,000 wild mustangs in BLM holding facilities at ridiculous cost annually to the tax paying. I'm a professional horse trainer and love horses, but to elevate this particular animal to a non-kill status, at this cost, is ludicrous. The cost of holding horses in these BLM facilities is over $50 million per year. This is in an insane misuse of our tax dollars as so many things are. Managed hunting and even slaughter for hungry people around, the world would be a far more sensible option. Ethical, well managed hunting is a wonderful and useful tool for proper wildlife management. Well done on this hunt. I loved it.

Just a simple question.. doesn't it leads to extinction of lions from africa?? Or they are more in number there which allowed there hunting?

It's a good question. If the hunt is done legally and part of a conservation program then it actually help the population as a whole. The main reason for the decline in all wildlife is habitat loss. Villages are started where once was wildlife. The first thing they remove are all predators, this is to safeguard their cattle. Although human expansion is needed, it's still very sad that these habitats are lost.

[@user-wg3wj6ur9z]

@@AfricanSunProductions no that’s a lie.

[@InstituteOfValue]

The opposite is true, this actually leads to increase of lion population. First, most of these lions are bred in captivity and released just before shoting. Second, this is part of bigger conservation program where many people have incentives to keep lions population. Without hunting no one has incentives to save them.

Truly majestic, I agree. I do believe some hunters will be able to hunt like in the old days, but I don't think we should. Tribal hunting is very cruel. The animal suffered much more than was needed. With modern weapons they die very quickly, much less pain and stress. The reasons for hunting also changed. Back then it was mostly for survival of humans, now it is for survival of animals. We cannot afford to protect our land, habitat and wildlife with other methods of income. Only with funds generated by foreign hunters can we give our wildlife a safe place to live and breed.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Good day Andy. It's a legit question, thanks for asking. I wish I had a more definitive answer on this specific lion but I don't. I arrive and film, don't have all the info. I do know that sometimes it's a numbers thing, sometimes a non-breeding animals that can be replaced by a breeding one, new genetics etc. Sometimes it's just a lion that isn't in a pride, doesn't matter about the condition. In most countries there is an age limit of 5 years. Any younger than that isn't allowed to be shot. Sometimes you get problem animal permits for a cattle killer, but that doesn't happen in South Africa. Thanks for watching and thank you for the question. I hope this answer helps.

[@Amack1966]

Thank you. It does answer the question, there are many factors at play when deciding what to shoot and when. Sustainably, ethical and number and age all come into play. I have seen the benefits that hunting can bring in the wider context of conservation. One animal taken can be of benefit to so much more than the antis would have most believe.

Just my 2 cents. The tags for these animals are many thousands of dollars. I think a lion is around 30k. That money often goes directly to conservation of the species hunted. No animals, no big money tags after all. Yes some animals die, but over all the species is supposed to benefit.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

You are correct. Sustainable utilization is the backbone of conservation here in Africa. Without hunting we'll lose 75% of our wildlife in a few years.

[@max_fjellstorm]

After school I worked in Namibia on a hunting farm and since I am a conservationist and hunter myself I’ll try to awnser the question why this kind of hunting PROTECTS and does not aid in the decimation of the animals: Try to imagine the country in sections where animals and people (Agrar culture etc) live together. The government has scientists work out how many animals of each species are making up a healthy and sustainable population. The number can vary from section to section because of different factors. For example: per Hektar of land in section A, four lions make a healthy sustainable population. Now imagine there are more than the 4 there, the population starts to get sicknesses or gets weak because of malnutrition etc. The government is now giving away permits for two lions to professional hunters who themselves pay for the permit. They now can take that permit and sell it to a client. The client pays a lot of money for taking one of these two LEGAL creatures. The money that is generated helps so the professional hunter can pay the locals to work for him, he pays for anti poaching AND conservation efforts in order to have a healthy population for the next season. So in short: the hunting of a few creatures helps to pay for the conservation of the entire species. It’s not perfect but as long as the animals have a financial worth they will be protected. Otherwise the animals will be hunted without any control with old AKs, snares, traps and poison till there doom. Maybe this helps with the explanation a little. Regards

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Human wildlife conflict is one of the main reasons wildlife numbers in general are declining. Luckily Leopard can adjust better than most other species but poisoning and poaching with dogs are the main threads. I agree that many hunting areas are mismanaged and doesn't help much to protect the species. We cannot judge all hunting outfitters by the actions of a few.

Facilmente 140 mil reais e até mais,deixaria de ser prejuízo e se tornaria NEGÓCIO, o fazendeiro criaria animais pra onça comer e protegeria a vegetação natural do terreno (ao invés de derrubar tudo pra plantar soja) para a onça viver. Agora o que te levou a dizer que as pessoas que participaram desse vídeo não são homens eu realmente não sei,qual sua definição de homem? Porque quem está agindo como criança é você assistindo um vídeo de caça e ofendendo os envolvidos baseado em absolutamente nada fora idealismo barato e burro,ou já leu sobre o tema da caça legalizada e como ela ajudou na conservação de inúmeras espécies em todos continentes.

Client needs a little more practice and a little less scope. Less is more on a hunting rifle like that. My 9.3x62 wears a slim Razor LH 1.8-8. The 9.3x66 wears a Leupold 1.5-5. It’s a good thing he didn’t need another round since his windage turret kept the casing from ejecting and he just stared at it.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

The client informed me that he didn't want to eject the shell far, he wanted to keep it and he could see that the lion was down, so he wasn't rushed to reload.

In many areas photographic safaris are successful, but in most it doesn't work. In SA we have only three national parks that show a profit and can therefore afford anti-poaching units. Compare this to hundreds of privately owned reserves that can afford to protect thousands of animals by hunting a selected few.

Great hunt! Unfortunate that most people think hunting only applies to whitetail and Turkey. They don’t realize there’s a whole world of amazing hunts out there and just because the hunt isn’t something you see in Ohio , doesn’t mean that it’s cruel. Once you understand the benefits of safari hunting , it’s fascinating to watch! Nothing like whitetail hunting but there’s a whole world of amazing hunts outside of it.

This is not hunting, it's the same as a man with bare hands will go out on a lion. The whole point of this hunt is that fat guys with big wallets don't know what else to do in this life and kill animals of which there are hundreds left in the world, I hope that sometime something will happen on one of the hunts and the person who paid money for killing animals will be left alone with the beast without weapons

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Hi Imapls. I agree that wildlife used to be able to look after itself, but lately it's been tough. The extreme rise in human population means that Africa has less and less safe places for wildlife. Nature reserved do make a positive impact but it is very localized. Controlled hunting like this generated the needed funds to protect huge amounts of land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.

@@AfricanSunProductions just the wildlife survive with their way. Once lions need to kill another animal, you need to left it happen because it's a natural control way. So now, you guys are killing huge and beautiful lions just for fun????? And saying it's good for all wildlife... Lions are in extintion risk, just preserve it.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

We do preserve them, yes. There are almost no truly wild areas left in Africa. Villagers are moving in everywhere and with them they bring cattle. When cattle moves in the villagers will kill ALL lions, just like the Masai tribe did in Tanzania. Not a single lion is left. So do we let uncontrolled decimation of animals happen, or do we protect the species by only hunting a few selected animals? I know the latter is the only option we have and that is why we do it.

[@russby3554]

These videos are quite enjoyable and I appreciate the production quality! Something I've wondered is what happens to the animals after the hunt? Is the meat taken by the hunters or given to locals? Also, what trophies are allowed to be taken?

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Good day Russ, thanks for the comment. All the meat used in some way or form, depending on the country of the hunt. In many African countries lion meat is a delicacy. If there is a village or town close to the hunting area, most of the meat is donated there. The hunter can use some of the meat while he is in Africa but cannot take any meat to his home country.
