Alain, your video is incredible. Once again congratulations. I would be honored if one day I have the great fortune off sharing a campfire with you. Late Happy New Years to you and yours!
What's incredible is the fact that the bull took some heavy gauge bullets in his body yet you don't see any massive exit or entry wounds. Had it been a human you woulda been cut in half with just one round. Amazing animals those cape buffalos.
On how many rounds a buff can take Craig Boddington says that the max amount of rounds he ever put into a buff was 14, like you said Alan as long as an ear twitches put another one in it. Rounds are cheaper than your life every time. Great bull sir.
"I guess vultures gotta eat too..." So do wolves. I live in north central British Columbia. I was at the airport one day picking up a friend and there were two guys there, dressed in head to toe cammo. They had hard rifle cases with them and looked a bit ragged and unshaven so I guessed they were on their way home after a hunt. I walked up and struck up a conversation, telling them I was a fellow hunter. They were up from the US somewhere and had been hunting with an outfitter, looking for moose, a ways north. They had been unsuccessful and were a bit PO'd about it. They had seen some wolf track and were convinced that wolves were decimating the moose population. Their assessment was, "You have a wolf problem up here". Rather than get into a discussion about why there was no wolf problem, that wolves had to eat, feed their pups and that moose and wolf had co-existed together for millennia, I decided to let it go. Moose populations always go up and down for a variety of reasons as does the population of all species, including wolves. When things get seriously out of balance, it's almost always due to human interference. If those guys went home and told all their buddies to never hunt in BC, well, that's their loss. Ps; After a successful hunt up here, whether it's moose, deer, elk or caribou, if dinner that night isn't liver and onions, you're doing it wrong.
its not the population its all the access from fish bone logging roads. wolfs don't have to work like they use to and the advantage goes to the wolfs side. more or less snow has a effect as well. you made the right choice to leave well enough along with the Yankee doodles. flat out if you dont predator hunt your the problem as well. if humans want to act like the apex hunter they have to pressure all species and do the right thing. and the first meal off a moose should be the nose, or your doing it all wrong.
Mid 40's is a tough buff to get and always has been other than a few areas that hold that genetic. Any buff that is old and hard bossed is a trophy to me but I love those wide dropping sweeps...
@@JAlainSmith ok interesting, thank you for educating me about this. Many years ago Ross Seyfried wrote about achieving a 50” Cape buffalo, and the story always stuck with me. My impression is that a lot has changed in fifty years. When I lived in the Washington DC area, 30 years ago, I helped a lady sell a pair of elephant tusks her father collected with a double rifle in the 1950s. We weighed them. One weighed 109 pounds, the other weighed either 98 pounds or 101 pounds, my memory is cloudy now. But when she showed me the black and white photos of her dad with the beast, even I of zero Africa experience said out loud “They don’t grow this old and big anymore.”
I can’t believe you only have around 15000 subscribers. You should have millions but you and I both know RUclips will try to prevent that. Also, are you really using 375 Ruger or is it a Ruger chambered in 375 H&H magnum?
Game liver is pure and store bought liver has all of the additives that are added to the animal's diet to fatten the animal up for market which changes the makeup and taste of the meat.
Good shooting here. I get tired of watching people that take 5 or 6 shots on these animals in videos. The hunters take stupid shoots were there is grass making them in some videos. The hunters are super shaky and try shoot it when it's running on follow ups this guy did it right waited for it to stop. I mean 5 or 6 shots is the unkskilleeld shooters. The guides try not make them feel bad say good job just cause they could lose bussiness as a guide lol. I ain't no idiot I can tell real good shits from bad ones.
My chief complaint in these hunting videos are how folks squint and close an eye when shooting and they have poor follow thru and rifle manipulation by dropping the rifle off the shoulder. It would be nice to see videos with strong fundamentals in riflecraft.

Widest spread I've seen yet. Gorgeous animal. Great hunt. 👏👏👏👏

That is my dream Cape Buff mate.
Alain, if a 48" to 50" buffalo used to be the goal, what is more realistic today? How many inches was this bull here?

Dang that Hartebeast dropped like a sack of potatoes 🥔
A 7mm rem mag between the eyes will do that...
Congratulations! Out of curiosity was the second shot a head shot? Thanks for sharing.
Supposed to be but a smudge low
He reloaded, but no casing came out🤔
lol yes I saw that too
Damn editors...
Talking about the great shot. Yup just above the elbow.
Alain, super hunting Buff's , again as always! Andrew
What kind of knife on Alain’s belt?
Buck Knives
Love your Barbara Bush white hair wig.
Just Excellent!!! Cheers!
Amazing hunt as usual!!!!
I. Saw. Two. Cape. Buff.s. back. In. The. Mid. 1980.s... a. Reddish. Brown... with. Beautiful. Markings... I. Don.t. recall... the. Country. They. Said. The. Buff.s. came. From. But. To. This. Day. I.ve. only. Seen. Those. Two... have. A. nice. Day...
Can the meat be eaten?
Yes and its great eating

Gunwerks Skull in 375 Ruger. Used it all thru 2019 and it is a hammer!
Thanks for watching and spread the word about our channel to all your friends...and hell tell your enemies too? We will let them watch also!? LOL
Hartebeest, hard to beat! Geddit?

Nice huntings , Lucky man
Great Buffalo!!!

Great hunting👍👍👍
what a,,Beast
Nice shoot J Alian
Badass cape hunt but Jesus Christ they’re hard to put down
Heck of a good buffalo, glad the truck had a wench to load him!
Reloading but no cartridge
Editing 101 got missed...
I love your videos👍 and keep up the work.
The Silver Fox, does it again!
Yo that hair
Great shooting! Try pork liver sometime. You will probably have to get it from a local butcher. I think its the best liver of domestic animals.
Grandpa Dan, it’s right up there with pork bladder... you have just got to cook the piss out off it...
@@neilbarnard5372 pork kidney, cook the piss out if it!
Now I'm hungry.
Mantap👍👍
Id like to of seen footage of that yota goin back through that mud hole with that big bastard in the back. 🤣
Alan i had one i shot him 16 times and he died standing good work ciao
Why not go hunt poachers? 🐣

Do you hunt big game? These aren't filmed on a rifle range. Thanks for the advice.
With dangerous game hunting you always take the rifle off your shoulder to reload. Alain would know, he’s done it a couple times...
