Porcupine Hunt with NIGHT VISION - Airgun Pest Control (Re-Upload)

This is an old video that got removed during KZbin's little hiccup last year. I re-edited it, removing anything that might even come close to violating KZbin's terms, and here it is! Many of you will not have seen it yet, as I have gained more than 200k new subscribers since the first upload. Enjoy!
This was one of my first hunts with my Impact way back in 2016 (I think). Look how far we've come!

Spotlighting of the back of a UTE shooting Rabbits is also a bit of a Aussie Tradition Also those Night Sky shots were great

[@terrygrant2300]

dazaspc yep good times.

[@mrjockey87]

Watch whole ad, like the vid, comment as to make sure the YT algorithm gets the message. This content needs to stay relevant. Love these videos!

[@Psajho]

Those porcupine quills make excellent fishing floats! Awesome video! Keep up the good work!

[@regsparkes6507]

Really good video,..most enjoyable to watch my two favorite South African Airgunners/videographers out on a hunt together. I've just enjoyed the best of both worlds here for the past 20 plus minutes. Thanks you Matt.

[@vijayt1487]

17:26 hunting is not about shooting everything u see. I appreciate this👍

[@apkhurram]

The opening line was just mesmerizing...❤

[@johnharr9707]

Love your videos man!!! I like your longer videos. They're just so fun to watch, being a hunter myself!! ( in the U.S.). Thank you!!!

[@81crispy]

I took a duiker down with an old .22 shadow gammo,was good meat,can’t afford the impact at the moment but the kral nemisis is what I use now with three different calibers,worked for me so far to the detriment of many scrub hares and guinea fowl

[@horscategorie]

The night is a new world - one missed by so many people. Thanks - great video.

[@bigearl8687]

awesome shooting & shot placement...those porcupine go down so easy, I thought they would have been a hard animal to take down...love your videos, you actually show us what the guns can do,the different impact between pellets and slugs...👍

[@bigggthinker2151]

Excellent night of hunting. Definitely one of your best videos.

[@rickoshea8138]

A different take on a "bad hare day".

[@albertluke372]

Those hares are big! Man I can just imagine all the meals you can make from them. My gosh...

[@casperboo5465]

Wow what a Great video Mat, some thing a bit different , you guys certainly cleaned up on that night, and congrats on that really long shot, Awesome, Thanks to you All, Cheers from the Uk.

[@deltanovember1672]

Some excellent shooting there gentlemen.

[@bernard1011]

Awesome Matt,cant wait to get my firt pine with a air rifle..

[@sportsandautomotives4739]

*hi sir I want dry pack PCP pump so aluminum pcp hand pump vs stillness Steel pcp pump Which of the two is better ? 🤔 ....Please advise me ....*

[@stanfordcoffee]

Of the 2, porcupine or hare, which do you prefer eating (think is better)? Cheers

[@dave_724]

Nice to see Richard on camera again.

[@SteelHunter]

With such shooting skills Matt will definitely not be left without food :)

[@hankvana2149]

Quite the hunt! First time I heard mention of leopards - always wondered if you were safe walking around in shorts, wearing flip-flops and just carrying an airgun. No concerns for large wild animals, snakes or other potentially dangerous things? As a fisherman, I am very interested in those porcupines - the long quills make excellent floats (dobbers) and the long guard hairs would be great for tying fishing "streamers" (long fish shaped flies). We have porcupines here in Canada but the quills are only 3 to 10 cm long. Cheers! Hank

[@georgeveltchev530]

Hey Hank ... indeed these long quills makes great fishing floats. I live here and we often use long floats when targeting Blue Kurper in fast running water . They are quite light and buoyant . With respect to your concerns about leopards, I would say that in general these animals avoid people, especially when people move in groups ...attacks are rare and normally take place when the animal is confronted unexpectedly or cornered in a tight spot . Leopards however should not be underestimated since they are opportunistic and stealthy predators . Same as the North American Mountain Lions I suspect ...

[@hankvana2149]

@@georgeveltchev530 Hey George, thank you very much for replying! I appreciate your comments as my perspective of South Africa is limited to what I can see looking over Matt's shoulder while he is hunting - incredibly beautiful country you live in! The terrain here in eastern Ontario is fairly bland being mostly flat with some hilly areas and many lakes and rivers. Locally, the most dangerous animal is a mean domestic bull and there are no poisonous snakes. Once every decade or so a Mountain Lion is seen in some remote area and that creates a big stir. I sigh sadly as I wonder what happened to all those quills - they got a life-times worth of floats in one night! In addition to shooting airguns I am an avid fisherman; find myself admiring - from a fly tying perspective, the fur and feathers of the game Matt gets, so different from what we have here. Cheers George! Hank

[@camd71]

Nice shot Matt, I guess all the shooting you do has really paid off. Well done to Richard as well! Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@kkranch2401]

Love you videos. I consider your vids "family" vids. All my kids have grown up with hunting and fishing in their lives and would love watching your vids. We really appreciate the lack of cussing, drinking, acting irresponsible, etc. Some airgun vids seem to be recorded by thugs. Keep up the good work and God bless. Stay safe.

[@snajjpern]

Sorry for sounding so negative, but... Did you shoot that porkupine in the rear or from behind??? Looks like it from the wound.

[@KashifJarwar]

Man that Fx Impact is a Good Tool for pest control and hunting. Nice Content Matt. Lots of Love from Pakistan🇵🇰❤️.

[@anhunter3226]

I hope this video isn't deleted anymore. I'm entertained

[@everettcoe3808]

As a guy who has to shoot rats at about 20 yards, dang that rabbit shot was sweet. Good on ya mate.

[@everettcoe3808]

My springer's got no game there

[@gamerdaddy8597]

Love your cinematography.

[@airrifle5626]

Nice video guys.👍👍👍👍 what cal is your fx?. 22cal? 50fpe?

[@kapangmitkong698]

Why do the hares somersault when hit by the pillet? At 12:05 it did twice in the air.Just curious🤔

[@Black_Forest_SFX]

Thank you Matt I enjoy it every time Greetings from Germany

[@JIKUBUYE]

I wanna buy the nite site viper not eagle how did you get it in south Africa Amazon is out of stork

[@Ralphieisthegreatest]

This was awesome! Those hares are about the same size as the domestic rabbits I raise. 5 k maybe? Thank you for re-sharing this. It was a lot of fun watching!

[@tlotlosenai7304]

Nice one boys. That the question as to whether air guns can shoot antelope (distance and placement catered for of course). I'm from Botswana

[@marklondon9948]

Great job Matt and all! Always enjoy your videos..and thanks for all the hard work that goes into them! Cheers, MarkLondon

[@pwrplnt1975]

You should try changing the color of your light to red or green. That's what they do in Texas when hunting hogs at night and it works very well. Another Great Video!!

[@mikekupetsky6879]

what is going on with FX quality. i have been watching your channel for a long time and have always dreamed of finally getting an FX now i find out that there are tons of problems with their quality control so much that air guns of arizona stopped carrying them

[@danielswatske519]

I agree I'm not going to pay $2,000 for a piece of crap check out the hatsan rifles they're very well made and a hell of a lot cheaper

[@ethenagaming3535]

Really good video. Can you please suggest me a good and in budget night vision for Walther Dominator 1250 rifle.

[@craignapoli]

A truly outstanding night of hunting Matt, you and your team absolutly excelled yourselves in this video with sensational footage and a feast of tasty fresh meat.

[@AThreeDogNight]

Really a great shot there Matt, way to go.

[@pieterkearns4975]

Just watched this awesome video again. Great stuff.

[@felgate11]

So, Porcupines are considered to be pests in SA so why is it illegal to import their quills for fishing floats to the UK??

[@andrewdouglas8503]

Matt your shots are always unbelievable mannnnn :-0

[@MerlinVI]

hehe Mat looks young there ...Oh and another thing Dubber you cost me a lot of money cos i had to go buy an M3 here in the uk. Keep up the good work, I need some more dassie hunting please .

What is the Name of this airgun.And how much.

[@adamcraig5355]

are u not aloud to use coloured filters? as red filter would still give u plenty light but less likely spook them?

[@zakrzewski755]

What is the other gun in the video? The one that killed little deer at the end

Hi there I was wondering if you can do some small game Harvest clean cook with some of the South African recipes so I can try some of the simuler recipes here with a small game here in America

[@MrAbdulquadir82]

You're really good Hunter loved to see your video. Go on with a Springer for a next video

[@tyslife1853]

How much does the fx impact cost i cant find it online....im a new sub liking ur videos...i personaly use the gamo swarm .22 cal 975 fps for rabbit and raccoon hunting and pest control i love pellet hunting saving up for a big boy pellet gun for big game i cant wait

So cosy and love the built-in knowledge you have 👍

I don't know why people keep asking him anything, because i never saw him answering to subscribers ever. Which is really disrespectfull. Not saying he should answer all, but not even one time is not cool at all. You can wait for his q&a and get answer there if ur lucky. To bad for lack of comunication on such a good channel like this.

[@jesseling6672]

Its not as though hes obligated. Quit being an entitled snowflake.

[@Trrenik0kb]

What's the energy in joules of this setup??

[@davidkennedy3050]

23 grains at 900 fps is 41 foot pounds. That converts to 55.6 joules. That is a 22 caliber slug. It goes up if they use a 30 cal barrel but that is not allowed in South Africa.

Have u looked into pard nv007? I have one its pretty nice as I can swap it from rifle to crossbow to airgun without rezeroing everything

[@DJ-bh1ju]

Funny how, halfway around the world in the US, and across wide oceans, we have almost the exact same version of almost everything you hunt (except the duiker, baboons and monkeys). Hares, 'chucks, crows, pigeons, squirrels, porcupines, rabbits.....
