[@johnairgunner5809]

Matt, You are the second airgunner I ever watched on youtube. But you are definitely a producer of best quality videos displaying your hobby and beautiful places you visit on hunting occasions. Your ballistic series was outstanding handful piece of knowledge you shared. Thank you

[@scottwatson5767]

For better or worse, Through thick or thin, Til death do you part! Life is easy if your life partner shares the duties equally. Awesome stuff great video series!

[@russellmcphee72]

Your film and editing skills are world class. God bless South Africa.

[@KarlXByrne]

The effort really shows. Only subbed a couple of months a go after watching a lot of older episodes and the progressive refinement really shines. Came for the hunting and stayed for the scenery.

[@dark30welderwelding11]

Agreed. Just a really nice down to Earth guy.

[@B_r_a_e_]

Dude Fr, also just a quality person

[@lestersabados1306]

Did south Africa sneeze?

[@ursine010155]

Hi Matt, firstly I hope you're both keeping well and healthy. Secondly, you are not only a hugely talented producer but also extremely brave to camp so near the edge! Soooo enjoyable to watch your video - thank you so very much for taking the time to produce, direct, post online and present. Not only I'm envious but so is our Toyota Hilux - it's only managed the rough hills of Scotland! Take care both of you.

[@xxsolxx23]

I love your hunting videos mate. And to hear you speak about avoidance of a certain area, even though it is one of your favorite spots, to let the area recover from the drought and to let the dassie(sp?) population recover really shows your consideration for the animals themselves. Even though you state certain things to show your consideration (humane kills, ammo consideration ECT), some may not believe, but your actions show it, And that you are a necessary part of the ecosystem. You don't do it just for the money or content or just to hunt animals. Great job 👍

[@warwick3805]

I have watched almost every video on your site, I am amazed at the country in which you shoot. This video is special to me as it it is very similar terrain to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia where my trusty Rem 788 22.250 and I have roamed over the years. The 788 gave up after countless rounds, then came the Howa, and then... Back then I did not have the luxury of a 4 wheel drive, but my vehicles always went where my nose pointed and got me home again. Like you, I was blessed with a partner that went where the wind blew us. We had so many great adventures and not so great, now in my 7th decade my shooting days are over. Thanks for your great videos, they let me drift back in time.

[@BeefaloBart]

Never let your wife forget how much you love her and how important to you she is. You got a keeper in her, so be worthy of her love and affection.

[@atcsman]

You can tell all that????

[@justesorn9536]

Thank you for having the balls to show footage of you ending these destructive vermin Matt. I hope someday people will become educated enough to end the stigma behind primate hunting. Keep up the good work, you're a blessing to these farmers, and a credit to the spirit of South Africa! God bless.

[@richardaustinaustin1890]

Hi Matt. Cracking video again, perfect camping spot. Just need to be careful when nature calls in the middle of the night. End up falling down that bloody cliff 😁.

[@mik3ymomo]

That drone footage in the last 3 or 4 mins was spectacular.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Thank you! It was THE most amazing camp spot!

[@quintonchristie7149]

@@AirArmsHuntingSA Hi, which drone do you use?

[@moncellbenade1732]

I've been following your channel for quite a few years now and I must say this is the first time you mentioned that you would be having a beer instead of coffee! 😆 Once again great shooting and an awesome OW diaries video that makes you feel part of the adventures. Thanks Matt! 🍻

[@jonstahl364]

Love that truck set-up. Its AWESOME. Great video as well.

[@bartleybenoit]

Matt, your "Bucky" is setup so well, I really like all the innovative features you have for camping, hunting and filming!

[@Ken-qz7iw]

Your videos have really got me into hunting with pcp air rifles and your videos are so enjoyable to watch and so informative too. Would love a video about your set up for your truck The layout is perfect. Thanks for the great content.

[@eugenemorrill7009]

Matt ; I must say, you are one helluva shot , vidiographer and all around gun nut. I really enjoy your videos.

[@guyskeer5411]

Ahhh - You make this Old Man Envious - Your Gear, Your Truck, Your Country, and More, are all Wonderful. Thanks so Much for sharing. You are Blessed!

[@petergadd7797]

Really good work, living my dream. If you edit this yourself , give yourself a pat on the back. Great production all round.

[@michaelbooth1097]

It’s more than dedication it’s called love. ❤️

[@davida375AI]

Such a great video. I for one love hints where you get lost for a bit. Very well filmed!! Love it!!

[@terrystover7365]

The first time I've seen a set up like you have on your truck. That is just really cool. I've been watching your videos for a pretty long time and I believe your cinematography has vastly improved.

[@dangoldbach6570]

That Hilux is a beauty! I love how you kitted it out, and that campsite is spectacular! This should be a Toyota commercial. Man I wish they would bring the diesel Hilux to the USA!!!

[@rockdesu]

I like how he hunts while wearing sandals.

[@timothylear2770]

Well done Matt, Great footage and you both could not have chosen a more spectacular campsite for the evening...Happy days, what a view! 😎 Aus

[@paulvonblerk9365]

Respect Nicole!!

[@tomlongbow]

Thank you for taking us along ! 🍀👍🏻

[@jimf1964]

Gotta tell you, to a Canadian, monkey hunting is something that take a small amount of work to get you’re head around, but I’ve seen videos of how out of hand and troublesome they can be. I’d never live anywhere else but here, but you show some spectacular, and totally different from the typical grass lands and cheeta stuff we always see. Very enlightening stuff you’re showing. One question though, wouldn’t it be better to be camouflaged ?

[@sherlock2295]

My wife doesn't know there's 2 five o'clocks in a day....lol great video.

[@r.bouth.6457]

Hi. I did watch many of your videos I could here from Curacao in the Caribbean. When you show the de pellets or slugs you take our from the animals or from the ground plate I a site of a new one because many of us don't know all these pellets and slugs by name

[@DNADirekt]

The Modern Day Oxwagon is a very nice setup!!

[@mrlowtide1]

In America the prices of ammo have gone through the roof. I’m really considering selling a couple of my guns and picking up some thing similar to your FX impact. Also, love the monkey hunts. They’re so dynamic and intelligent it makes for awesome footage and I know the farmers appreciate it. If I ever get enough money I would love to come over and hunt or even just ride along or film. Thanks for all the awesome content❤️🇿🇦🇺🇸 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nosherwanadill6177]

Which type of gun u r willing to sell..fire arm or air gun?

[@airgunalley6716]

Airguns have been affected as well from people moving from firearms to airguns for supplementary purposes. Most .25/.22 on most stores is almost always out of stock or 10+USD over asking price. Even .22lr are 20 cents pr depending on the store.

[@autisticusmaximus9562]

@@airgunalley6716 I think it mainly has to do with the prices of raw material and inflation in general. The oos part could be due to not meeting supply and demand but we do also have a huge unemployment crisis as well

[@pczTV]

I moved from Texas to California and… the price of gas and ammo here is essentially double that in the great republic of texas. My 4Runner and firearms are not happy campers. I probably need to get an FX

[@KINGTERIK]

@@pczTV that's the first time I heard that. Everyone I hear about is leaving California for Texas. Crazy laws/mandates/taxes etc

[@seanparchim9165]

This was so relaxing to watch,what a beautiful days end thanks for the share✌️ Napa California

[@dave_in_florida]

Your best video yet. Spectacular drone footage.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Thank you! It is my favourite from this season as well

[@MrLangDog]

Loved it!! Considering where you drive...you might consider putting 16 inch wheels on your Toyota so that you can air down more on rough terrain. I have do so on my FJ Cruiser and it makes a world of difference on ride comfort.

[@richardward9111]

Your drone footage while driving was very well done. Your countryside was beautiful in spite of the dry weather. Thank you so much for providing video of your monkey and dassie hunts. Rats and pigeons infest many other countries as well but you've given us footage of species that most of us will never get to hunt. You and your wife make a great team.

[@the.original.throwback]

Another great video. Thanks. Can't wait to see Nicole shooting along with you. Jess

[@TheSailindave]

What a beautiful place to camp and enjoy, thank you for sharing your experiences with the world!

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Fun to watch on the phone but AMAZING ON A 72" HD Screen!

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Thank you, Matt, for "pinning" my comment. National geographic could take some pointers from you in filmmaking.

[@megatrends]

New subscriber ... I have really been enjoying your videos. Very nice, great shooting.

[@robertsimmons1264]

The drone footage reminds me of the videos by Itchy Boots channel.

[@adriaanjoubert7404]

Always enjoy hour videos man👍🏻👍🏻 What company awning are you using

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Awning is made by QuickPitch

[@ronwatkins754]

Do you have a video on how to clean and prep pellets and slugs?

[@kurtisb100]

"...that is called dedication". No Matt. That is called being a newlywed. 10 years from now you'll still get your warm shower first thing in the morning, but you'll get it because she wakes you up at 2 am so that you 'remember' to get out and start that fire for the shower.

[@thomastometich6767]

Great video. What caliber is the Impact you are using in this episode?

[@kansasairhunters2057]

Say goodbye to my savings account. Say hello to my new truck with a built in tent!

[@kamikazehunter]

Lekker Dubber, jyt weer daai Bloubal Ape lekker geklits.. ek wag vir deel 34

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

What does monkey taste like? Do you ever process them or are they left to nature once dispatched?

[@apippin774]

I’m surprised you walk the bush where snakes are in flip flops. I’d be having some hiking boots on.

[@brendanashby6624]

Do you know mate since I've been watching all the videos you make I've never eaten a pigeon and then I thought id give it a go after I saw you wrapping some bacon around a piece so that's what I did put it on the BBQ now I will eat as many as I can get bloody lovely thanks for showing your videos they're all great although I was just wondering if you can eat the monkeys or not a bit disgusting I would think I would think maybe disease but I don't know so if you get time just let us know if you do or you don't I was just curious on the for eating the baboons or The Monkees anyway thanks mate legend great job enjoy every video you make please don't stop

[@roberttidyman201]

what kind of truck bed box is that? That has the spot for the cooler to come out on angle like that?

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Proper close to the edge at the camp site

[@wruso5186]

Question did you ever use a 2506

[@travistravis2973]

I could watch these videos all day long!

[@FarmerFpv]

I love the Oxwagon Diaries. Serious question Matt. South Africa to the outsider seems like the perfect place to live as an outdoorsman. But is it at good as it seems on the videos? If you were given the opportunity to move and live anywhere else in the world with the same finances, would you leave South Africa or would you stay? Just trying to gauge to see if it is that good that you'll give up living anywhere else to stay in South Africa? Thanks Matt.

[@ToreDL87]

When there was a scare that the S.A gov would ban reloading for ammo, he said he would be unable to hunt and produce these videos for us. I took that as a hint that he would not move out of S.A, regardless of the situation.

[@rbarnard7397]

Looks absolutely amazing, thanks for the awesome videos Matt! Really makes one miss the veld after hunting season!

[@tonyv8925]

Thank you for sharing your adventures. I subscribe to your channel, Gerhard's channel and Roelf's channel. You guys are my favorites and each presents a different aspect of hunting. Great video, today.

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Wow awesome video guys really entertaining thanks so much ... that shot with the dreamline is insane 😳 I did not know that a 45 fpe gun could kill a monkey that far wow ...awesome shooting Matt ... I must say that your vehicle is so nice its like a home on wheels thanks for sharing this footage be safe guys can't wait for the next ... cheers 🍻

Pure enjoyment 'sharing" in your hunts and travel in such beautiful country. Thanks so much for your effort and willingness to share excellent content and videography with the rest of us. Blessings, Matt.

[@x2lazyx]

just came across this videos randomly so whats the point in shooting a monkey to skin ? or to eat? or are they an invasive spiece? not hating just wanna know lol love watching fishing and hunting vids

The hunting part was great as usual, but really enjoyed your back road adventure. Thank goodness for TOYOTA'S.

[@LetsGoBrandon_]

Maybe I missed it but what do 22-250 rounds cost for you? We're at $2 USD right per round. Reload is just under half of that price. Cheers.

[@gefginn3699]

Great post Matt !!! Superb video content and editing... scenery... character. Bless the two of you 😇🤩

[@hammondspeaks1502]

What do you do with the monkeys afterwards?...are they eaten?

[@rickoshea8138]

Eaten by leopards and jackals.

do you have any wildlife to worry about, such as leopards on the farm land you shoot ?

[@garybalasa3158]

Hi Matt, just a simple question, I never see you shoot a .25 or .30 any reason you stick to .22

[@hankvana2149]

.25 & .30 airguns are not legal in SA

[@GB_Reloading]

loving this but man they're close to edge at 23minutes git me feeling nervous 🤢

[@SikaSeeker]

Ive watched many of your vids Matt, and that one was truely epic. Captured the total experience superbly. Id love to more footage or your cooking over the fire. Im a keen BBQer here in NZ
