Baie dankie Dirkie! This wasn't my camerawork, I had two good cameramen stand in for me while I was in Zimbabwe on another hunt. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it though!
Hunting in it's awesomeness.... what a team ! ..the hunter is good but ...the huntress is next level , cool N. collected ..calm N deadly with shots placement made the kills as humane as can be...thx 4 sharing guys
I'm very happy that you enjoyed the movie! I agree that both hunters are awesome. Not only are they good hunters, but they are good people also. Love them to bits!
Hi Juan. I'm sure it was up there in cost, no doubt! TZ isn't cheap at all. Good memories, good friends, good times. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
another great Video which shows the beauty of Africa and the thrilling hunts ... still a dream that hopefully comes true soon .. depending if the creazy times continues ... All the best
What a great movie I'm so glad I didn't miss it! You do such great work making them Martin! And I bet the Deckers have one hell of a trophy room! I'm sure next time Mrs. Decker will get her hyena. Again, great movie!!
Glad you enjoyed it! This hunt was actually filmed by two of my cameramen. They did amazing work, very fortunate to have them. Next year I'll join the Deckers personally though. Yes, their trophy room is something to see! I'll ask them if someday we can share some photos.
Well it looks like I'm going to have to miss this one for now. We had a hurricane come through and we've lost power ever since Wednesday. I'll be back to watch it once we have power again.
@@floridacracker_ Yeah, all is good. Thanks for asking. Just no power for 3 days now. I live on the East Coast, Central Florida. It wasn't as bad by the time it got to us.
Great pictures, even after all the years here in Africa. I did worked on hunting farms and watched them then the owner off the plaas. Will not missing my 28 years on this beautiful continent.
@@AfricanSunProductions I am from Germany,came for a hunting trip to Namibia middle of the 90ties. My idea was it to come back to Africa for six month.

@@AfricanSunProductions I watched that video and although they did show them sighting in their rifles they did not go over what make/model and caliber they were shooting.
Good morning. In the beginning of their other video they explain all about their rifle and ammo, have a look here: ruclips.net/video/vPuNLVXtlh0/видео.html
Hi. I'm actually not sure. I think uncle Tim mentioned it somewhere in the comments before. I have very weak wifi now so cannot go through it but will try and remember when I get back to the office in a week or so.
Thank you very much, Mr. Decker! I'm taking my Ruger African in .338 Win Mag on my first safari. Knowing that you had confidence in yours gives me confidence that I'm taking the right rifle. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Yes, partly for protection from snakes but the main reason is to keep the prickly grass and sticks out of your socks. It gets annoying when you walk 20 kilometers a day.
@@AfricanSunProductions oooh! I see. My bad. Awesome videos. I discovered them 3 days ago and i can not even work:))). I am worried of what i'll do after i finish them. 😂😂Awesomeeee! Mabye some prices in the future about transportation, trophees, taxidermist, shipping them home and so on.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my work so much! There are more coming, sometimes the uploads are few because I only upload with permission from the hunter. There are a few hundred videos though, should keep you busy! The older ones are shorter though. I don't think I can add the fees to a video unfortunately. It changes too much depending on season, country, outfitter etc. It's almost a unique deal for each hunter. If you have more suggestions, please send them through!!
You must have heard on the news, social media that the animal population decreases every year such as lions, giraffes, rhinos and other animals, of course this hunting has a bad impact in the future, is this called profitable?
Your questions are harsh but I can see it is because you care about nature. All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole by funding the protection of land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
Trophy hunting is a controversial and divisive issue. There are differing opinions about whether trophy hunting is ethical or appropriate, and the issue is complex and multifaceted. In Kenya it was banned because of Mama Ngina (wife of 1st president) who carried out poaching activities and banned hunting to eliminate the competition and avoid criticism. But kenya changed since then and what i like about wildlife conservation in Kenya is that it is carried out by the local kenyans instead of some white folk
It truly is a controversial issue but only due to misinformation. You cannot judge every hunt or every hunter by the same standards as others. Many people hunt for the trophy, agreed, many others hunt for the bigger picture. Hunting is still the backbone of conservation here in Africa. Until there is a better alternative, I'll support it even if it's run by some white folk or some black folk. The end result should be beneficial to wildlife as a whole.
Kenya banned legal hunting in 1977... Today there is about 20 000 km2 of organic wilderness with a healthy enough ecosystem that still sustains large game in healthy numbers... Tanzania has continued legal hunting and today there is still over 400 000km2 of virgin wilderness that sustains large game species... So much so that there are more wild lion left in Tanzania than the rest of Africa combined... Hunting is ecological husbandry... That is why hunting is conservation...
Thanks for putting it into perspective Bradley. I wish everyone could see the truth but they are selectively blind. I appreciate your comment and your support.
Hey Quick Question, I was wondering why you hunt some creatures like those, I mean I've hated Trophy Hunting for so long but I don't view this as Trophy Hunting, so I just want to ask you, why do you hunt These Animals?.

There are many reasons for hunting various species. Most come down to the simple fact that controlled hunting programs are the backbone of conservation here in Africa.
@@AfricanSunProductions I livde in Dar as a child for 2 years and was back in later years. I have bean to al the places but never hunted there. Only in Sweden. I cant afford it where you are but I love watching it on RUclips 💝❤️💝❤️💝
Yes, they are protected from poachers, land grabs, human encroachment etc. All of is expensive therefore controlled hunting programs were designed to raise the needed funds to protect the land and habitat. Thank you for the question.

Hi Dennis. There are many black people hunting legally like this. I'm not sure why they don't want to be filmed though, that is something you have to take up with them personally. I can only make movies of the people that contact me for it.
It was emotional to watch the leopard kill. I couldn’t help but to feel sad for the animal, but I understand the sport as long as it’s done with upmost respect the way they have done.
Incredible hunting what a Safari Amazing Shooting so proud of you guys very well done
Thank you Sonny, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have you hunted in Africa also?

He was a Dagga Boy... And a very old one... Look how much hair loss and how white in colour he is around his eyes... Very old bull...
Indeed, the perfect one to take out. Thanks for watching Bradley!
Did they mention what rifles or calibers they were using? Looks like Model 70's.
Hi Brett. Yes they did, but it's probably only in part 1 of the movie. Also a good watch! ruclips.net/video/vPuNLVXtlh0/видео.html
@@AfricanSunProductions I watched that video and although they did show them sighting in their rifles they did not go over what make/model and caliber they were shooting.
Sorry about that Brett, I though the info was there. It's peak editing season, my brain is a mess! I hope you enjoyed the movie though.
Found it! Was in a different video with them. 7mm wby mag for him and 300 wsm for her. All good brother!

Nice! When is your trip Hedge?
What are those black bands around the ankles? If I had to guess is some form of snake bite/strike protection?
Yes, partly for protection from snakes but the main reason is to keep the prickly grass and sticks out of your socks. It gets annoying when you walk 20 kilometers a day.
Excellent Buffalo!
Yes sir! And man, the meat was good, even for an old bull.
good hunting friends make it worth it it's not just for the trophy or sport that what you do is the most legal
Yes, companionship is very important and there isn't a better place to build life long friendships than out in the wild.
Awesome! But i would not like that the PH send's the second shot....

You must have heard on the news, social media that the animal population decreases every year such as lions, giraffes, rhinos and other animals, of course this hunting has a bad impact in the future, is this called profitable?
profitable only for you because of money or mutual benefit for both parties for yourself and for the nature of Africa
