Long Range Dassie Hunting | The Blanco Adventures - Episode 1

[@samforgemann4618]

I do not hunt myself and I've never owned a gun of any sort, but I love that you are all about humane hunting and using every animal you kill with birds perhaps being an exception. I am grateful for hunters like you who respect the animals and do everything they can to enjoy the hunt, make clean kills, and use the animals they kill for food when possible. Keep up the amazing work. You're the best! By the way I subscribed to your channel.

[@skeptikal94]

top quality video with great editing. By far my favourite hunting channel 👌

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

That is a huge compliment, thank you

[@jdjdkskdkk3485]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MAAAH1581]

nice shooting man here in Saudi Arabia we love those hyrex we call them here as plural webran in singular we call it waber

[@DavidRogerss]

Matt, I've been watching your channel now for the past two days and i am absolutely loving it! well done bud!

[@AirGunnerSA]

Matt that was a GREAT video man. I love your hunting spots. excellent man

[@ChuckZA87]

What ballistics app do you use? Awesome channel. Give me a shout when you are hunting close to JBay again.

[@kevingrimbeek2106]

So nice to hear the farm "Blance Guest Farm" being punted during your videos, Matt. It's a great place which I recognized right from the outset!

[@charlesaldridge5584]

Another great video Matt! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to many more!

[@regsparkes6507]

Great shooting Matt ! I wish I could be there and watch this in person. Very enjoyable for sure.

[@TheFishinglegend]

Awesome shooting, loved the starry sky time-lapse!

[@dingalingmasterpiecetheater]

I recently subscribed to your channel. You're videos are great! It's interesting to see what the pests look like in a different continent. I'm used to seeing all the evil rodents here in Michigan but to see what you hunt is a new experience. Keep up the awesome work!

[@TheSnake2306]

This man needs a Bells after each day what a champion. Love the vids and the effort he puts in to make it so presentable., and simply lekka to watch. Keep it up brother

[@sohotmusic1]

Man, your are an absolute beast bro. Good shooting and as always great videos.

[@luiscervantes4539]

man that's so cool I'm glad to see some more of your hunting videos again.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Nice work Matt.

[@sundin57]

Insta-sub! Wow I'm so happy I found this channel. Professionally filmed with great commentary. Excellent job!

[@biakmawia]

Old video is so fun to watch , i dont even remember how many times i watch..

[@johnfranke3399]

Great shooting bro! I really appreciate the filming techniques and applications too. Keep it up : )

[@MiguelDiaz4469]

Awesome shooting there! Could you consider doing a video on how to prepare these for consumption, that big fat one looks like it had quite the meat lol!

[@85k11]

great shooting there as always matt

[@brandya10]

Hey Matt excellent job on video and shooting . I really like explanations and ethics that speaks volumes ,excellent role model for younger up and coming hunter Andy B

[@leswhinn]

Nice shooting and Vid, You could do with a Really Big game bag when picking those things up off the cliff ...Maybe a little safer when climbing back down, Looking forward to you next edition, Happy hunting for here in the UK ;)

[@danielfefler7861]

Such good videos you have ther. Really love them! Would be awsome to see a Dassy hunt with the FX impact. Keep it up man

[@SuperBriem]

man i miss my beautiful home country so bad, well done the hunting and ethics. A sub from me.

[@Exziver]

Excellent shooting Matt. Your lucky you have the open sunny areas for that great scope cam footage. It's so damn dark in the forest where I hunt that most of the time my camera has a hard time getting quality shots at 240fps. I have to pick and choose my shots wisely according to the sun. Do you ever have that issue?......Great video Bud!

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Glad you enjoyed it! I do have that problem, and I just set the cam to 120fps. It's not ideal but it's better than nothing I suppose

[@Exziver]

Agreed! That's what I do as well....I guess until they come out with something better that, will have to do.

[@banyantree8618]

Great video - to put things into context, what environment considerations do you have to account for ? I.e predators, snakes, scorpions when your walking around or sat in the grass ?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Mostly just snakes. Puff adders are sneaky buggers

[@zinkoba821]

great shooting bud. top marks.

[@fingersmcgillicuddy]

What a spot!

[@mellivoradk]

I enjoy your work. Quality footage and interesting topics... ;-)

[@amadshamsaldin4336]

What ballistics app are you using? Another amazing video man!! I love how you explain all the physics and criteria behind your shots. Your videos are tons of fun and are very informative.

[@paloc6587]

complimenti video molto bello come pure lo scenario di caccia, senza dimenticare la qualità del tiratore complimenti ancora. saluti dall ITALIA

[@moritzwassmann1496]

Good shooting mate!

[@deanmorriss7184]

Matt that's great shooting that gun sure has some guts , straight through at 80 meters who needs powder.

[@robertfields3420]

definitely a good shot you don't miss much

[@trickygreen7307]

Absolutely beautiful rifle.

[@aaronsouthworth5654]

Love this channel and hes so good at shooting dunno how he does it!

[@harrisonu]

Excellent vid! I really appreciate that you drive home the importance of humane hunting! Sick shots and nice rigs as well! I want a pre charged pneumatic so bad! What brand is that brilliant rifle?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's an Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter

[@មាសហេង]

My favorite CH.

[@knifeslove8647]

great videos!! i love all your videos

[@tevelynkambama7808]

That was a great video. How much is that rifle?

[@moulindubarma7901]

Superb shooting

[@trolfasker]

Классные видео!!! спасибо за интересные видосики))))

[@ficklegruber6112]

Your videos make me want to move halfway across the world to South Africa

[@xman870096]

First off I'd like to say I enjoy these videos, and I believe that you make every effort to provide a clean ethical kill shot each and every time you pull the trigger, so good on you for that!!!.... But I'd like to respond to the handful of people who click on these videos and other videos like them for the soul purpose of crapping all over them...... If you don't like the videos don't watch them!! you are told in advance what the content of the video is, so if you already know that you will be offended by it why do you seek it out??? There is a ton of stuff in the world that I don't care for, but I don't go looking for it and I sure don't crap all over some one else for having an opinion that is different than mine!!! ....If you don't like it don't watch it!!!

[@tommyjoestallings3339]

What do you do with them do you eat them not that I have any problem with shooting them and not eating them just curious

[@manusmoolman9744]

Hi Matt. What velocity do you shoot the air arms ultimate sporter?

[@cachecrab378]

3:17 the thing craps XD

[@jaywhitney789]

another great video

[@datristan777]

Great video!!

[@pilkoso]

the runescape profile pic lol

[@AndrevanTonder67]

Good shooting and excellent video work. I presume there is a drone involved somewhere ... ;-)

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Yip, but unfortunately you now need a license in SA to fly a drone! So there might not be any more of those aerial shots in the future

[@AndrevanTonder67]

+AirArmsHuntingSA My young friend, you still have much to learn about his beautiful country of ours. Just continue doing what you enjoy so much and don't worry about that which you have no control over ;-)

[@GiltronTheOne]

very good clip may i ask what app you are using on your phone ?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

It's called Strelok Pro

[@GiltronTheOne]

Thank you very much for getting back to me so fast i have downloaded it.

[@brandonwall6945]

+AirArmsHuntingSA I am also from South Africa where can I get myself one of those scope cams can you pleas let me know at [e-mail]

[@brandonwall6945]

+AirArmsHuntingSA I am also from South Africa where can I get myself one of those scope cams can you pleas let me know at [e-mail]

[@DimaProk]

What ballistic software do you use and how do you measure the POI angle?

[@bernardv.dvyver1625]

Hi i would like to know were did you bought your scopecam setup.thank you

[@gmako74]

Great hunting!

[@rahimjaffer9891]

Matt Great Hunting like to see more of ducks rabbit peafowl. Thanks Bro.

[@dhifullahalotibi6817]

please .. what is the name for app you use in your phone for hunte in this minet 5:11

[@danielbrito6834]

Hello friend, which model of the gun you are using in this video. I live in Brazil, as i do to buy one.

[@antonydiamond7583]

Matt would the FX Impact be able to handle these Dassies as well as the AA you are using in this video? Looking to buy one or the other just want your suggestions and your thoughts? Thanks

[@edgarlombera7066]

I'm pretty sure it would it's not so much the power but the accuracy an FX sure delivers

[@jameswade787]

i stand strong with the .177 sportsman 900 air rifle i get its variable pump but the accuracy without the scope is amazing

[@rayroberts5832]

Shoes?no flipflops?

[@brxkenarrow5794]

Nice to see a fellow South African hunting. I would love to go hunting, but it's so expensive. Like R12 000 for a springbok.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

R12 000?? Where the heck do you hunt? It's like R1500 where I hunt

[@lucaporetti2312]

+AirArmsHuntingSA 1000 where i shoot but never mind that good video i would like to shoot some of those with my rifle daystate huntsman biggest thing I've shot is a Egyptian goose i shoot them regularly but my cameron is not that good so video quality is not that good

[@brxkenarrow5794]

+AirArmsHuntingSA sorry, typo. R2000

[@brxkenarrow5794]

Also, I don't have a lot of money. I'm still in high school.(I'm 17) And the school fees are rather expensive. On top of that, I don't live near any hunting areas, so that's a lot of petrol.

[@Tomas-sl4xr]

the price of your rifle and scope? I'm asking because in argentina its too expensive thanks and i'm waiting your answer

[@FinestSeven]

Do you actually use a drone for aerial shots?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Yip. DJI Phantom with GoPro 4 Black

[@number55283]

I am gonna breed from my fox red retriever next year, a dog like mine will save you a lot of time in your collections!

[@skipcalvert4310]

Matt Rock Rats any good to eat, if so how do you fix them? Errol USA

[@MrOutlaweasel]

whats your opinion on the air force condor 24" 22cal?

[@LuisRamirez-zv5dx]

Have you ever considered trying hatsan rifles? They're worth the cash

[@Sshooter444]

Like our rock chucks/marmots here in the western US, but these look more rabbit-like than squirrel.

[@theBloodwolf13]

What's written on the side of your range finder

[@tylerpotter8627]

Your last ahot for the day, you can see your pellet flipping in the air after it goes threw your target. Top right of screen

[@oakland002]

Wish we had them in my area , they're big

[@pim1234]

Do you eat them ?

[@olew3573]

i think so

[@ciaran5953]

love ur vids

[@carlostorres8771]

This guy is impressive all headshot at 80 M. I hunted jack rabbit when I was growing up and I was fine with a body shot or two or three.

[@gt11gt]

You are very cool look forward to a new you....thank you

[@lucianosousasousa]

Sou teu fã dos teus vídeos, poque tu não deixa á legenda em português

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

Why did you harvest these animals? They're clearly not pests. Did you eat them?

[@dpeagles]

You clearly didn't watch the whole video.

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

your parents are clearly related.

[@dpeagles]

About what I would expect from a person such as yourself.

[@miker1302]

Could I use a Gamo Hunter 440 (0.177) to take out dassies? We are infested with them.

[@TheVbelanic]

do these guns require an FAC in canada

[@dadohd6679]

vjerovatno...

[@bawadava4298]

😎😎😎

[@fransjonker1122]

you are a pro man

[@desmondjones2528]

Do you have any old guns that you would be willing to give to me because i want to get into airsoft like you

[@Sneak_1000]

+Desmond Jones First, don't beg. Work hard, earn money, buy a gun. Second, this is not airsoft. Learn the difference, because it's quite a big difference!

[@DonutsRGreat]

so did you eat them?

[@manboutuomaeley4311]

he eats everything he kills.

[@jeandrerust9372]

On our farm we allso have Dassies.

[@tylerjb1017]

How old were you when you killed your first animal?

[@facts4736]

AirArms if you stop the video 4:29 it looks like your pellet

[@hernanurquiza191]

Hi Matt , I want to buy the rifle s510 , but I'm from Argentina

[@rahimjaffer9891]

Matt I from India you can come to India for some Game Hunting.

[@Jason-Smith1]

Please SOMEONE explain why he moves the scope Tourette as opposed to just holdover???????? It takes more time, greater room for mistake, and greater possibility for scope damage????'WHY????

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Well that's an easy question to answer... 1) Dialling the turret on a second focal plane scope allows you to shoot at any magnification and still keep the same aim point. 2) "Takes more time" is false. You dial and you shoot. It takes seconds. When you hold over, you are counting mils, estimating divisions, and all while trying to keep your focus on the target. 3) "Greater room for mistake" is false. Turrets allow you to get more precise. The space between 1 mil is 3.6 inches @ 100 yards, but the space between 1 click is 1/4 inches at the same distance. 4) "Greater possibility for scope damage" is rubbish. Do you see snipers holding over during military operations? No, they dial the heck out of those turrets. It's not like the turrets are just there for show. Rule #1 for any serious long range shooter is to dial instead of holding over (wind is a different story).

[@Jason-Smith1]

+AirArmsHuntingSA could you please elaborate on #3?

[@Jason-Smith1]

+jason gural I think I just need to know how many scope "clicks" in one mil

[@pratiharwarrior43]

what is secret about your hair

[@jaybanks1895]

your cool 👌👌

[@jmerrow02]

I really like your vids I silo some taxadermy dry ice and send me a dassie head I'll stuff it

[@smelmore]

five stars thanks matt

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

If Chuck Norris gives a good rating it's got to be true, right? Haha thanks bro

[@oakland002]

Love everything but that CLIMB ..

[@صفاءالملكي-ي5ع]

[@joeypruymboom9236]

Wicked

[@shitfaceracer7211]

nice

[@Deathlybliss]

funny seeing hate like "his smile after he gets a good shot" like what about there smile when eating a good steak lol!!

[@robspear03]

I will agree with some here; try aiming for yourself. Id rather get a third-person view of the shot knowing you were hunting like most of us.

[@bigfah2506]

South Africa looks like a beautiful place!
