BOWHUNTING The WHITE RHINO w/ Josh Bowmar

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Welcome back to another thrilling episode of Bowmar BOWHUNTING. Join us as we embark on an unforgettable adventure in the Kalahari Desert, where we’re going to experience the unique challenge of bowhunting rhinos-well, sort of.
In this episode, we’ll be participating in a “green hunt,” using specially designed darts filled with vitamins instead of traditional broadheads. While rhinos are part of the iconic BIG 5 and the dangerous 7, we’ll be in a vast 200,000-acre concession, where these majestic creatures roam freely.
Before we dive into the action, we’ll discuss the vital role that green hunts play in wildlife conservation. With rhino horns fetching up to $420,000 on the black market, it’s essential to understand the financial incentives behind conservation efforts. This revenue supports anti-poaching initiatives, habitat restoration, and community development, ensuring the long-term survival of these incredible animals.
You’ll also get an inside look at the scientific aspects of this hunt, including how we collect valuable data to aid in rhino conservation. We’ll share the protocols we followed to ensure the safety of both the rhinos and our team, including the presence of a specialized vet and a helicopter on standby.
This isn't just another hunting episode; it’s a deep dive into the complexities of hunting, conservation, and the impact of financial support on wildlife protection.
So, gear up and get ready for an insightful and exhilarating adventure as we take on the challenge of a green hunt in the Kalahari. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on our journey!

As an ex South African, I got really upset when you said you were going Rhino hunting. Then got delighted when you said green. While we still have them, all efforts should go to try and save the species from extinction.
Wdym ex 😂😂 you American now 😂
This video is the perfect blend of Hunting education and an epic hunt to watch! I don’t know if there is a better video to help the non-Hunter understand hunting benefits and how LEGAL hunting can help ecology of an area as well as human economy… and you don’t even need to harvest the animal! Alas, great video, proud to be a hunter watching other successful hunters.
Josh... man, as a South African, I just want to thank you for everything you both do for conservation in Africa. Let the haters hate!! You and Sarah are doing what most don't. Thank you both.
Your story telling is by far the best👌
Josh i’ve been watching your videos for years now and i’ve learned so much from you it’s incredible. Thank you for all you’re doing for the hunting community and other communities around our world. you’re living many’s definition of a perfect life
I am so grateful that someone with an audience and influence is explaining the concept of relationship between hunting and conservation
I just don’t understand how you and your family get so much hate. I absolutely have to say this is my favorite episode ever !!!! Thank you for all you and your family do for the outdoor industry.
As a south african you have my full respect and thank you for what you done for this land
Amandla!
Josh, i've been watching you and Sarah hunt for years...like before highschool and im in college. I have always loved how you always show hunting in a good light and the respect that the true hunters like yourself have is amazing to see. Through all the trials and tribulations i have always been a bowmar fan, so from this NC boy, thanks for all you do.
*Bowmar Bowhunting* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
I’ve been watching your awesome Turkey hunting videos, but was initially shocked and appalled that you were “hunting” endangered white rhino. But then found out you were tranquillise darting them alongside trained conservation groups with a veterinarian. Excellent explanation and effort to help save the species. Great video! Sorry for the initial judgement! 😅
Thank you Josh from one hunter to another, as I explained to my son when I got him into the beautiful hunting tradition passed down by my father. I explained to him it is not always about killing something. A successful hunt can also be when you get to spend quality time with a loved one enjoying nature and to fully understand what hunting does for the conservation of all animals. You and Sarah are amazing and always humble for the opportunity that you both have.. Keep up the great work, hunt safe. Anthony
This was an incredible video Josh. I cant even come close to imagining how amazing it was to get to stand next to a live rino like that. U guys truely are blessed to be able to do what u do.
Thank you for supporting wildlife in Africa and also thank you for promoting the good side of hunting in Africa
Man, i absolutely love what yall do for conservation. God bless you and may your efforts to protect wildlife be known through the ages. I want my great grandchildren to know the reason they can see Rhino's in the wild of Africa, is because of hunting.
He could literally just donate the money without hunting it..If he really cared about conservation then he wouldn't be interested in shooting these animals but he would've donated the money like other rich conservationists do
Whew, I am a big fan but rhinos are by far my favorite animal. Never heard of a green hunt but so glad y’all were able to help.
Been following for years, and it keeps getting better! Let the haters hate. You have done more to help the conservation of wildlife, all over the globe, than they will ever do for their own conservation. Good luck this season!
What a beautiful animal, I hope this video will open the eyes of some of the people who are against conservation. Without hunters, ETHICAL hunters, many species would become extinct….and that would be the beginning of our demise.
Well done Josh, thank you for sharing this important video message!
I'm pro hunting but certainly prefer this type for Rhino. Beautiful creatures that I want my Grandchildren to see in the wild.
Nice Josh and Sarah. Glad you both took the time and spent the resources to do this.
Your doing great man, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to Wildlife and all the great hunts we get to experience with you
I have never heard of a green hunt before. It definitely seems like a great way to help endangered species and fund their conservation. Compared to a regular hunt, I can imagine this was definitely more expensive!
I'm so so so glad you didn't kill him. When I saw 'hunting'and 'rhino' in the title, my heart sank.
The outcome was better than what the clickbait insinuated.
Not really
Thanks for sharing and I love, respect and contribute as a hunter towards conservation any way I am able. Been a fan from the beginning and it’s been extremely entertaining watching you guys grow as hunters. Keep the great vids coming and good luck out there!
You can see tears in Rhino' eyes, necessary process but painful
This was a beautiful video, Josh! Your storytelling is the best on RUclips. You should do Audiobooks. I would totally buy them! Especially cause I'm always driving across the states for my Motocross races. Listening to it in the Truck would be awesome!
Thank you guys. Come back to SA soon.
Where's the damn elephant hunt Josh !?!
Where’s the 6th 200”??? lol
There are too many elephant in Botswana, maybe he could go there!!!
@@jovanventer1308he already killed one
That’ll come next after the T-Rex hunt
The fact that over a hundred people want to see an elephant get killed is just sick
I think its awesome you did this truly shows the level of sportsmanship you have.
You are so lucky to do that and help them all . I want to see them in the wild .
Great Job!!! God Bless You Brother🙏🏽
What a magnificent beast!
So many idiots are quick to judge before listening and watching the video. He didnt kill it he shot it with a tranquilizer and took pictures with it. If you watched the video you would know all of this.
incredible, Josh! Treasure the memory of the experience!
Should have used a heavier arraww with the low poundage bow.
Sorry I had too😂
Congratulations everyone! Amazing content! Thank you to everyone involved in doing things like this in the name of conservation and the future of hunting.
Awesome. Great hunt. You know that rhino has got to be thinking, "Aww, not this shit again."😂
Amazing!!
Thanks!!
phew!!!! I thought this was a real hunt. Thank you for your consvervation efforts.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half lol...
Thanks for all y’all do 👍🫡🤛Awesome video
When i saw the title of the video i hate clicked on it prepared to leave a really nasty comment telling you how bad of a person you are. Then as soon as the video started and i saw that you are with a vet doing vet and conservation stuff my whole attitude changed. You keep doing what you're doing helping the animals, the local economy, and the world of science.
I’m not gonna lie I hopped on here thinking the exact same thing😅 but I’m glad he’s helping out unlike people that just complain about him “hunting” it
Well done!!! We need more of this!!
That’s awesome guys!! Thank yall for what you do!!
Way to go! How freaking cool!!!!
You guys and this channel are the best there is
So cool, what a unique animal and way to hunt and conserve at the same time.
11:22 when he says antidote i wonder if its rino narcan? He said the m99 is X amount stronger the morphine so thats makes me think the antidote is just super duper strong narcan.
Thanks Josh for every video of such quality and pro editing. Regards
That’s amazing. Great job Josh and crew
lol Josh pretty much donated a crap ton of money to trank a rhino. Best part is it gos back into saving them and the rhino lives probably saves 2 more with the funding👍
That’s awesome brother! Congrats, what a beautiful animal and to be so close is amazing. Good job on keep these animals protected and keeping the sport strong.
Great episode!!
Well done brother!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That is a great thing Brother! What a Rush I'm sure😬
Well done, Josh! Very neat animal!
My guy going to be very surprised when he skins this thing only to find Jim Carrey in a rhino suit.
That was pretty awesome to watch!
Josh, awesome video, I just darted a Rhino also with Tam Safari, Yes, all the money goes to help the conservation of this awesome animal.
Awsome purely Awsome congrats on this once in a lifetime experience!!
Awesome time. Very cool animal. Thanks Josh.
He was looking at your like..."If i wasnt so drunk right now, id kick your butt" lol. So cool to see. Did your arrow start the process and slow him down so the doc could give him the other meds?
YESSSS i cant tell you how proud i am to see you in sitka!!!!
lol my thought was he just didn't want to give kuiu any bad publicity by being affiliated with a controversial hunt
I love it, congratulations josh thats awesome
Thank god you didn’t kill the Rhino. I was almost disgusted thinking you were going too
You damn right what you just said all these animals would go extinct you know God gave us the grace to be over top of them the rule and Reign to call the shots and that's what we're supposed to do you got all these anti-hunters supposedly care so much but they're not giving millions of dollars like Hunters are you know they're not doing what hunting does for these animals this is the most beautiful video I've seen in a long time
2034 Bowmar: Here we are bow hunting on Isla Nublar where InGen has recreated Tyrannosaurus F***in Rex 😂
Man do I wish dinosaurs were still around today not even just too Hunt them could you imagine riding into town with a triceratops
Love this adventure
Nice job, coolest animal there is.
Well done bud. You 2 have my full respect
I also thought it was a kill when I saw the title. Awesome experience.
Catch and release hunting
That was a great video! God bless
Bowmar! We have a 90lbs bow. We would love to make a video with you to show everyone this 90lbs bowtech!
Dude I want to hunt in Africa so bad great stuff man
Now thats some balls right there, being within arms reach of a living tank that doesnt need a reason to kill you
Im glad he didnt kill the rhino lol
it's the hardest thing in the world trying to explain to an anti hunter that these hunts benefit the species. Most anti hunters i know use emotion over logic to guide their decisions and it's a crying shame because most anti's donate very little to the protection of endangered species.
Hell yeah that is awesome brother! Bucket list !
Texas baby good job.
Good job 👍🏻👍🏻
Parabéns pela iniciativa
I think what you’re doing is a great thing Josh. We need more people like you that care about the wellbeing of the animal but still enjoy the hunt. Wether it’s a green hunt or not
Yeah that was cool.
Impressive beasts.
Awesome video. Great job
Awesome 👍
I believe fully in the sustainable utilization of wild animals. If it wasn't for hunters, there would be far less game animals left in South Africa. The fact that hunters spend money on hunting results in farms being allowed to stay in business as game farms. Please don't forget us meat hunters, Game farmers of South Africa.... we cannot afford to pay the sums that overseas hunters pay.
Awesome
Well done Josh.
As a South African hunter i go by a rule " what you shoot you eat"
Do you have to shoot them to donate toward the conservation efforts. And how much is that mount gonna be. Should look awesome in the ol trophy room. 🏆😮
my anxiety thinking he would kill it, isnt this so much better "hunting" these animals" and helping conservation/studies at the same time? Im a hunter myself but there just some animals that doesnt deserve to die for no reason
With all the hunts you two do how do you stay in such good shape
If that was a Black Rhino yall woulda been flattened lol fun video
Don’t listen to those haters josh I love ur vids it inspired me to bow hunt. There just jealous they can’t be as cool and as good of a man you are
Been a dream since I was a little kid to do. That’s bad ass
Maybe change the title from bow hunting to bow-darting or green hunting. It may save a lot of confusion. Even when I read the title, I said to myself WTF. Overall a very good video.
Very cool
Awesome!!!
Awesome!
Very cool!!
A lot of people may mis interpret this. And hold you on the "value of the animal". What people dont understand is the relationship mans had with these creatures for so long. Sure we took it to far for a few generations. Repurations are not possible but rebuliding is. I hope africa hunts become more available to the common hunter. For me its but a long away dream
