Cape Buffalo - Deadly Duo

J. Alain faces off with an angry bull protecting his buddy as he lines up a shot on an old dagga boy!

[@eriklong6390]

Stumbled acros this channel the other day. I believe these videos are put together better than 95% of the other hunting channels. Also, the hunts that J. Alain Smith goes on are absolutely great. Love your hunts Mr. Smith.

[@JAlainSmith]

Thanks for watching and be sure and share them with your friends!

[@syedakbar77]

Never seen any one shoot 577 so smoothly and composed. He shoot it as if not shooting big bore but like .22.

[@1950harleycharley]

you are gonna have a stunned look on your face when a Lion that was stalking that animal comes up and grabs you instead...that would be terrible to have no more J Alain Smith to watch hunt these creatures and monsters from Africa!

[@truethought2581]

I start with love these hunts. I finish with, look at those cooks faces! The heck are these people doing in our kitchen. I'm a chef found it amusing. Thanks again for sharing these hunts.

[@lawrencekedz]

No matter how many times I see it, Al's "Hunters Edge" commercial cracks me up!

[@panzer5033]

J Alain walking around with that shotgun looking like he just stepped out of the Delorean. Keep up the great videos. It's cool you incorporated some cleaning and cooking in the video.

Yeah, he does remind u of John Delorean without the cocaine. LOL . . .

Caveman cooking at its best lol. Hell yeah. meat stick fire, and if you got it spices. Drooling like homer here.

Check out at 11:00, the Looks on the faces of those locals in their kitchen 😂

I could definitely eat all of that, both pieces, easy.

That dieker is a beautiful little animal! I bet they taste awesome! Great hunting and you've got a beautiful woman to share it with. It just doesn't get any better than that!!!

Does the “extra virgin” olive oil cancel out the “spice guarantee”???

Is it me or does the chef seem unhappy somebody else is in his kitchen...???

HOPE YOU ATE ALL OF IT

[@mot66mot]

Definitely not enough meet for that South African Boer Seun

[@paghal11]

I was thinking exactly the same. That was an appetizer for young Dylan. He's probably thinking "Down here, we sprinkle chopped duiker to season our salad before the main course".

[@yanceehardy]

One of your best episodes yet! Loved it.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

Duiker,the best eating! Remember, with small antelope,the cuter they look, the better they taste!And shot in the traditional way, walked up with a shotgun.Well shot,well butchered,well braaied! Re- buffs, nice to see the double out again.

[@johnmcknight3456]

Alain you go to this concession all the time with the same PH did you buy a piece of the action ?

[@JAlainSmith]

No, just luv the area and the PH is really good.

hey Alain, is a sambar deer hunt in the Australian high country something you would do in the future. it is a real challenge and the country is amazing. also keep up the videos mate, your by far my favorite hunting channel on KZbin.

[@lettingthebearout7528]

What is the smoking can on the back of the Safari truck?

[@JAlainSmith]

It's burning elephant dung and it keeps the tsetse flies away

[@bacon81]

Guaranteed you will get lucky. O.o lol

What shot do use for shotgunning Duiker?

[@JAlainSmith]

Whatever they have in camp. On this trip it was 6's

What’s up win the burning elephant dung?

[@franzschmid9079]

Good video. We are shooting roe deer in driven hunt in fall in Switzerland with the shoot gun. As long the distance is no longer the 35 meters it works just perfect. What kind of pellet size are you using?

[@JAlainSmith]

00 buck

[@Aqua-ii2pb]

3:51 are those deerskin gloves?...oh deer.

[@JAlainSmith]

I get them at Boyt Harness on line... Luv em!

[@motorcop505]

J Alain Smith As a police motor officer I became quite an aficionado of deer and elk skin gloves. I notice in the two other videos of yours that I watched that you wear gloves while hunting. This provided a clearer view than the others though. Ps - that 😜 at around 7:00 killed me. Traveling to Africa, hunting with friends and a total hottie of a girlfriend. Well done!

[@ralphvandriel4549]

Hii im from south africa never hunted small game with a shot gun before wat size shot would work for duiker reedbuck and rhebok?

[@pamtnman1515]

guessing 00 or 000 buck

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

I use AAA, I find heavier shot gives an erratic pattern. I'm from the Western Cape.

[@pamtnman1515]

Rupert McNaught Davis have you tried any of the old Cape guns? Any British or German combination guns, one with a rifle barrel, the other with a shotgun barrel? These guns were brilliantly designed and built to shoot everything exactly and accurately.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

@@pamtnman1515 .A combination gun word be absolutely perfect,but I have to say the German guns are far superior to the rather cumbersome Cape guns,my great great grandfather was a gunsmith in Graham'stown,one Hayton,and he sold them.My ideal would be a German double 16 bore over a 7x57R.

#4 bird shot in this case

What shot size do you use for Duikers?

I use AAA.

I had to us 4 shot as that was all we had for birds at the time

yes they are all game animals but i just didn't enjoy shooting the little guys - it was like shooting the family dog

[@seventhson27]

As near as I can tell, African Big Game hunts start at $40,000. Plus $10,000 for each non-hunting member. Must be nice. :(

[@wildrangeringreen]

depends on where/when you go (fees, licensure, demand, ect), which guide you contract with, your expectations, and what type of animals/methods you are going for. Some hunts can be had for $17,000 for a week (+ 1 non-hunter in tow, add in trophy fees to the state and air-fare), some top $17,000 a day (not including trophy fees and observers lol) . a good site to get started is bookyourhunt.com; it'll at least let you do some research. I'm putting away some money so I can take my son when he's 16-18; if he doesn't want to go, I'll take my brother lol. Big thing is to try and get hunts where the state and guide will allow for open hunting, primarily go after your contracted species, but if an opportunity for another arises, side track a bit and go after it (make sure you can pay the fees). Some guide services adjust your rates depending on what methods you are wanting to use (archery equipment is much more demanding than ML guns, and ML guns are more demanding than modern rifles, ect), and the geographical dispersion of the species you want to hunt (sometimes guides/you aren't licensed to cross the border into another province, so you'll have to be driven 80Km or so the opposite direction to find a healthy population of a species Example: just browsing, I found an exceptional 9 day, 2 hunter and 1 observer muzzleloader safari with fees for 2 cape buffalo, 2Jackals, 2 bushbuck, 2 duiker, 2 Gemsbuck, 2 Kudu, 2 Reedbuck, 2 Steenbok, and 2 warthog; on 60,000 acres in South Africa for $42,000 (not including airfare, import permits, hunting license and tax (total would most likely be around $48,000)). It could be done for less days, and therefore cheaper, but I want to ensure that the hunters can take good representatives of the species, rather than whatever just walks out in front of them lol. That means it takes more time, more often than not (especially with ML guns), and I don't like to be rushed (even with 9 days, we'd be hunting dawn to dusk most days, most likely). I've read that importing hunting guns into SA isn't terribly difficult (for government lol), and I think they allow you to bring in 11 lbs of ammunition (which, even with large bore guns, is quite a bit). If you don't shoot the animal, you don't generally pay any trophy fees (always good to tip your PH though, for trying to get you an opportunity)

I am a meat eater and it looks good

[@zapszapper9105]

hey Mr Smith the Diper looks better alive. If you shoot it you have to eat all of it or see that it is eaten, And you have to pay for the meat taxes fees and levies to maintain the habitat of the diper. If I ruled the world. And watch out for the communists who might take the game park for themselves. You are to leave game park forever and ever, for the animals, so my kids can pay exorbitant fees taxes levies and come and shoot an old bull too, sometime. And if your diper is not juicy and pink in the middle. Don't shoot another til you can cook.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

Diper? Isn't that what a baby wears?
