That Buffalo bull on 7:46 is a Cape buffalo breeding bull in South Africa , his name is “Mopani” And he measures 46 with a 116” SCI score. He is owned by Cottondale Game Ranch.
Just watched this and enjoyed every moment. My most memorable and cherished hunts are those with my brothers and my late father. So glad you fellas got to do that even though it was 4 years ago now. How fun it was to watch you Boyz share in some local culture too. Seem like such sweet people.
I've just got into this channel I'm an African American retired veteran an looking to seriously change to a game meat diet an was wondering how can we get some of the game you hunt here in America. The things they are doing to processed food is just horrible. Looking to live longer love ya vids very informative.
@@JAlainSmith I'm all for hunting. I personally don't care for trophy hunting but recognize it's not my place to judge those that do. the difference between hunting/poaching is semantics. I find it hard to fault someone who is hungry for hunting food rather than stealing it from someone else. Just as I find it hard to fault a trophy Hunter who funds management of the game. One party is doing it for entertainment and the other is doing it for existence. From wiki: Poaching has been defined as the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights. Poaching was performed by impoverished peasants for subsistence purposes and a supplement for meager diets. It was set against the hunting privileges of nobility and territorial rulers.
@@elizabethswann860 Hunting is done in a way that improves the welfare of the animals and puts a tremendous amount of money into the local communities. If you watch more african hunting videos of YT you will see the terrible impact of poaching. Often they are snaring young animals before they have had a chance to reproduce, or animals which should not be hunted due to their small population size.
Lovely to watch expertly placed shots, dispatching these beast. On another channel, three shooters were blazing away at one running bull like they'd been watching too many war movies of snipers scoring the ubiquitous, ' one round kills' on fast moving terrorist insurgents at 800 meter plus ranges. I commented on what I'd witnessed, and was rudely rebuked. After watching how things are properly managed, as in your videos, I still stand by my initial observations of the 'less skilful' other video footage. For me, if you go to take a life, then take it by the best possible means , and as have done with it in the shortest possible time span.
Yes yes and yes again. well said. If you kill, give that life respect and honour by ending it as clean and fast as possible. Hunters with this ethical view stand proud, head and shoulders above those that just throw lead. Alain deserves His place on that top step.
19:20 Alain Smith: "We brought them buffalo meat, salt, mats and thank you for the dancing" Mama: "F*** that, I'll take US dollars in used bills, twenties will be fine. Got grandkids in private school, and that s*** ain't cheap"
I know you have been to a lot of places to hunt but I was just wondering have you ever had to forgo a Spiritual purification before any of your hunts ?
By looking at some of your videos and the way your rifle kicks when you fire your 375 H-H . I bet you're shoulder gets a little sore if you have to fire it very much. I know by experience how it can kick like a horse . Happy trails man . Oh by the way I loved you and your brother's jamming session with uncle Ted .
Hunting is fine for removal of pests (feral hogs, coyotes, Burmese pythons, etc.). It is fine for culling overpopulated species. It is justified for food. Something is wrong with people who kill solely for sport or trophies. I hope we soon leave such behavior in the past where it belongs.
Frank Hoffman we eat everything we kill so.... sustainable use hunting in places like Africa is the only reason there is any wildlife left. Use Kenya as an example, no hunting allowed and is basically devoid of animals except parks. Tanzania on the other hand teaming with wildlife and it allows hunting. Don’t bring emotion to the argument please stick with facts if you want to save wildlife.
Trophy collection gives him the Thrill. Now the guns used are so sophisticated that a person doesn't have to come face to face to hunt the intended animal. For example the Barkhour was hunted with a telescopic rifle from so far away that the hunted was not aware of it even. It is not fair game. Be a hunter n let it be fair game.
Frank Hoffman The way I see it, there are generally 4 reasons why people hunt: for sustainability, for sport, for trophy, and for profit. People who hunt for sustainability hunt either to feed themselves or to manage the species, keeping the herd healthy. I think we can all agree that those people are absolutely justified. People who hunt for sport hunt to reconnect with the environment and challenge themselves against Mother Nature. These people aren’t really in it for the kill, and would usually never do anything to jeopardize the animals. Although some may not understand their perspective, I would say these people are fine as well. People who hunt for trophy... Again, some may not get it, and it’s understandable for someone to see this type of hunting as immoral. However, as Mr. Smith pointed out in another comment, the revenue that trophy hunters generate through licensing and harvest fees, as well as travel and boarding accommodations, is funneled right back into the local economies and is used to support conservation efforts that, in the long run, protect the very species that they are hunting. Besides, if these animals were to go extinct, there would be no more trophies to pursue. Trophy hunters have a vested interest in maintaining healthy game populations. While you may not agree with their motives, so long as everything is done responsibly, no real damage is done to the environment, which is why I personally don’t have a problem with trophy hunting. Finally, people who hunt for profit are driven by greed. These are the bastards that maim a rhino, hack it’s horns off to sell, and leave it to bleed out on the dirt. These are the people that poach tigers for their furs, without regard for the detrimental impacts that they are having on the environment. I think we all can agree that these people are the human equivalent of a moldy sack of foot fungus buried in a landfill, and need to be removed from the population. Before we start shaming people for being motivated to hunt by sport or trophy, we should consider that, when it comes to long term protection of wildlife, they are not the enemy. Whether you agree with them or not, you do share one sentiment: you both respect the animals and want to see them thrive. Put aside your need to feel morally superior and realize that these are not the people that have something wrong with them. There are other behaviors that we need to leave in the past; behaviors that are infinitely more sadistic and intolerable.
@@nmysights0185 ... Unfortunately, we live in an age where the selection of words can make just about anything sound ''justified''. I've already stated, based on an objective view of the facts, that not all hunting is wrong. Trophy hunting is. You appear to be claiming that the trophy hunter deeply respects the animal, as he blows its brains out and then hangs part of its corpse on his wall. To me, that feels like something other than respect. Further, as the trophy hunters keep taking the biggest, most dramatically powerful animal from these herds, that's going to weaken the population - hardly a respectful pursuit. You know, if animals are well managed, they will cyclically overpopulate. At that point trophy hunters, in the name of responsible culling, can have their day. Pigs and other feral species present another opportunity.. The rest is just a bunch of words.

I love how the game warden smacked the poacher upside the head😂😂
I thought it was kind of sad. Dude was hunting in his native land for food.
A poacher is not a hunter

Yes you are correct!

Alain Smith: "We brought them buffalo meat, salt, mats and thank you for the dancing"
Mama: "F*** that, I'll take US dollars in used bills, twenties will be fine. Got grandkids in private school, and that s*** ain't cheap"
They trade vibranium for meat?
I know you have been to a lot of places to hunt but I was just wondering have you ever had to forgo a Spiritual purification before any of your hunts ?
Not yet..

Well done Alain,not only did you shoot an excellent buffalo but many hungry people had lots to eat ,thanks to you and hunting !

Snakes arent poisonous, they're venomous

Alan brother looks like the guy from lost
How can I have one of your nice rugged x hat that you wearing in the video?😊
All sold out unfortunately! www.ruggedexpeditions.com has other goodies!
It seems to me surely not a world record...
Ive got it paused at 2:50 trying to figure out if its a Martin or Taylor. Lol wth i came for the hunt stayed for the guitar
Martin that I hate to travel with cause it might get damaged and its so sweet, but I can't leave it at home all alone...
Love trom india❤❤

No such thing as a "Nile buffalo" - it's the African or Southern buffalo!!
According to all the record keeping books there is a Nile Buffalo. They also categorize several other sub specie of buffalo.
