The Monster Eland | John X Safaris

Rod and Toni van Horn took on South Africa's East Cape with both rifle and bow, making the most of hunting from Woodlands Safari Estate as well the Great Karoo. Beautiful evenings spent around the campfire was a daily joy while encountering some of the most interesting wildlife on the planet was just a few highlights along the way to harvesting a fine selection of game. Don't miss Rod's perfectly placed arrow on his Sable and the "Granddaddy" of all Cape Eland. One doesn't get to see a monster in this class very often...

I've seen a lot of Africa hunt videos - planning on 2023 - but I guess I never realized how big and heavy some of these beasties are. That eland and kudu were huge.

[@JohnXSafarisExperience]

Absolutely Christian! They are massive. Would love to host you on safari come 2023.

[@PeterJohnson76]

Why would a little pathetic man such as yourself want to kill beautiful animals, further pushing them to the brink of extinction and taking away their lives.

[@andeanphoto]

Great video. Thank you.

[@ricardojansen1019]

A very good hunt with very to good trophies even the Hunter had a good trophy mustach realy enjoyed this hunting video al the way from Namibia the hunting paradise...

[@andrehuisamen6589]

Just as i think i have seen a video of the perfect hunt, then you post the next one. You videos are the best, and probably the best PH in South Africa keeping his client calm and very happy!!! Keep up the great work, you make South Africa proud.

[@bjrnegilteig1383]

Again, a really nice video. I like that you show Mr Rod nice shooting, but still - even good shooters can miss or have a bad shot placement, like with the Black Springbok. Thank you for sharing all sides of the hunt. He must have had a nice stay. Keep up the good work.

[@martinstiastny7679]

There's no question that hunting in South Africa is fantastic, and with all the videos from John X Safaris, it's a real quality hunt. But for John X Safaris, you need to show more of the lodge(s).

Shut up Greg

[@danskhus]

Gotta go with Greg here, I'm all for hunting, actually I'm working hard on becoming a bowhunter myself but what I've seen here makes me sick. Killing a handful of animals that he's not going to eat, I could live with it if he went hunting fir one animal but killing so many makes me sick. This is just target practice for an old rich guy, sitting in a blind and waiting or being really far away with a rifle, no sport in that, just target practice. Disgusting

[@swe.bras6480]

Using a hide beside a waterhole is no hunting. It's like hide in your garden and wait for you come out for barbecue

[@talisikid1618]

You obviously have no idea about hunting. You should research it.

[@jasonjumat5070]

I understand the hunting thing and everything that goes with it. But I really hope these "hunting expeditions" are adequitely kept in check. I know every so now and then it is checked whether the animal quantities is in good order. But what should be inproved in case it is not yet the case is that each hunter either needs to be paying per animal shot or something like that so that it could benefit people and communities better. What does it help a hunter kills 10 animals successfully in 3 days and the next kill 100 successfully in 3 days but they both pay the same amount of money for the entire excursion?? I understand that these people go and hunt "for the fun" and go and kill animals for the "ENJOYMENT" and if things are a bit too regulated it may not be too much "fun" experience; ultimately South Africa could benefit much better out of animal hunting.

[@jasonjumat5070]

@@JohnXSafarisExperience Thank you for the reply. I have read that private wildlife ranches often overreport their game numbers for obvious reasons . . . But you sound very reassuring and confident about the matter. I just hope for the fairness in everything. Thank you for your reply again and would wish you all the best luck ahead.

[@zajagter2888]

Well every hunter is paying for each animal shot. Usually when someone kills a 100 animals in 3 days it's for the imbetterment of the reserves wildlife numbers because remember even wild game can be overpopulated. What would be beneficial to SA is for you types of guys to jump off of Hunters' butts and join us in the fight against poaching. Enough said

Please do not laugh when an animal is dying! I am a hunter!
