I love how much Josh hypes her up, their relationship is so beautiful. So will the staff that helped her harvest him for food for the locals? New & learning, please don't come at me.

[@mikey2864]

Excellent... inspiring. Well done, all. Keep it up.

[@arthurduffy1107]

Well done Sarah! Quite an accomplishment. Thank you for carrying on the hunting tradition of true conservation by taking the old, mature bull that is past his breeding potential; adding much needed money to the economy and employing local workers; donating the meat; and helping to preserve this and other species for those that want to hunt, photograph or just see wonderful game animals in the future. There is no old age home for these and other animals that will eventually be eaten by lions or hyenas. You honor this animals passing, and zI honor your achievement. Hope the haters will eventually understand, but regardless - you've done well. Good on ya!

Amazing shot!! That is some serious skill from a serious archer. 🤘😊🤘

[@Fourty_40_]

Hell yea that’s badass, she’s Most definitely a LEGEND 🫡💪🏻,🖕🏻 all the haters. You two are what BIG GAME HUNTERS should be.Soo much respect and passion towards the Animals you two hunt and harvest!! The love of the sport you two get to share as a husband and wife is truly special and beautiful as well. Not a fortune teller but hopefully you guys will pass that down to your son and he grows up to love and respect and hunt just like you two. Love your guys content and being able to “be there (via camera) and feel the excitement and energy” I can only imagine it’s 100xs that in real life at thos moments lol Man that’s awsome 🫡💪🏻🤘🏻

Beautifully done,congratulations.

[@timothypaul6092]

Considering the fact that there’s been millions of generations before us, him making the statement that no woman has ever taken a hippo with the bow is kind of an outlandish statement. We don’t know things that happened two thousand years ago. It’s very arrogant for him to say that. I hope his research consists of more than just a Google search for him to make that statement.

[@BowmarBowhunting]

Actually we do know what happened 2,000 years ago, we also know what equipment they had. You know what they’d didn’t have, steel razor sharp broadheads on carbon arrows, shot out of a highly powerful compound bow. (Which was just enough to get the job done) But you’re right, I’m sure a women built herself a homemade longbow with an old wooden arrow and a stone point and went and killed one🙄. It's not enough for us to just Google something; which is the entire world’s collective knowledge and research of countless historians, anthropologists, and archaeologists." Next time, I’ll consult the ancient scrolls, decipher hieroglyphs, and interview long-dead hunters to make sure the statement is accurate. 👍🏼

[@kaylaalbright7028]

This comment is ridiculous 😂 Is it really that hard to just be happy for people?

[@Aranmoe]

@@kaylaalbright7028there’s nothing wrong with challenging a statement that has zero credibility, anyone can just claim they’re the first to do something

[@sarah_bowmar]

@@Aranmoewe searched Google, KZbin, SCI, and asked dozens of outfitters in africa that hunt hippos.

[@isaaccraig3982]

@@Aranmoeand in this case they are, they didn’t have the technology to kill a hippo with a bow until modern compound bows. they just weren’t powerful enough, maybe a baby hippo but that’s just nit picking. just let people have their moment, she’s the first documented women to take a hippo, be happy for them, not an insufferable ass.

[@m.f.4.u]

You do know she was a paid feature person to do this because of the silly endorsements. She has and remember that under armor and her husband had a huge fallout over a spearhunt for a bear. any other woman that I know that Beau hunts could have easily done that if they were Sponsored. I know for a fact she was not the first one I bet there was a native that you never even heard of that is done this to feed the tribe since they aren't her local game to Is chase.

[@jefflovesdogs9973]

This story is told very, very well. Thanks for the history of the hippos in this region of Africa, and for making it very clear how incredibly dangerous these creatures are. I have always known hippos are territorial and will attack; however, 3,000 human deaths a year by hippos probably makes them more lethal to humans than the infamous Cape buffalo. Jeff

[@HackerJack-ur5jr]

Congratulations! Awesome hunt. People who do not bow hunt do not realize how hard the first shot is. You can choose when and where to take it, or not to take it. That can be difficult depending on the circumstances and the prey. But when you need a follow up, take all the tension of the first shot and multiply it by 1000 as your nerves have like surged with adrenaline and emotion. Its the much harder shot to hit. I say well done! Superb! Ill admit to the nay-sayers that your sponsors may have got you there, but i didn't see any of them take the shot. Can't say enough, very impressive! Congratulations again.

[@jenniferschoville6897]

Congratulations on your harvest and your mark in the History Books. Your dedication and execution of your goals, I envy. What an absolute savage, you are Sarah. To just calmly draw and execute a precision shot with your bow and arrow. On an animal that could possibly eat you in one bite, I’m not picking on you for your height. Lol. You are the real star of the show, not Josh. 😂 😂.

[@kendallanthony6230]

I was wondering if you could possibly show the arrow build for Sarah's hunt, I am planning to hunt cape buffalo with a bow. The problem is I have a shorter draw length and I can't seem to make a heavy enough arrow weight.
