    Another great video. I just met this gentleman at the Extreme Benchrest in Arizona and found him to be just as genuine and gracious as he appears in his videos. He provides a great source of escape for me. My work is stressful and his videos provide a great relief.

    Hold on, I'm about 8:40 in, and this boy said please AND thank you when Matt offered him some chips. I love the good manners, especially on the young children.

    there's a farm about 100 miles from my home were we hunt ground squirrels. we typically get 100 or more each on an average day, but we are using .17's, .22 mag. great fun. really enjoy your videos

    The modern air rifle is just as good, if not better, than a rimfire for small varmint hunting. I've dropped groundhogs from ~150 yards with my .17HMR, but you're right in that it'll scare the rest of the game away for hours. For repeat kills, the only thing you could used unsuppressed would be a .22 short subsonic, which is probably inferior in ballistics to the kind of PCP air rifles you're using. They're really marvels of modern engineering.

    As a yank, I looked with suspicion at a bottle of Mr's Balls Chutney from my SA work buddies. I have a case in my pantry now. Good stuff.

    Willyboy47 was in SA many years ago but never got around to doing any hunting, I very often think of the place but I think it's too late for me to go back there now. Keep making these great videos Matt. Cheers.

    when you're doing the instant replay with the cannibal squirrel, did you notice that the pellet passed thru that sitting still squirrels head, hit the chunk of wood behind it and moved the whole piece of wood?

    Great video, Matt (and Luke!). Knocking down those populations is vital for farms. I'm REALLY looking forward to the long range hunt next vid. Also want to add: South Africa is a gorgeous country. Rugged and beautiful without the crazy sense of forboding that some terrain that is just vertical. Someday I hope to make a trip there with my wife and take a look-see. As an aside- I don't have local GS, but the grey squirrels have really put a dent in the native songbird population. Since I started working on them, a lot of the smaller songbrds have bounced back.

  • @huntjunky1
    @huntjunky1 8 років тому +22

    Sweet...good times. Just a note, Matt. Be careful about handling the carcasses and eating without washing up. When these vermin proliferate, there is a propensity to be infected with disease. In Idaho, near my location, ground squirrels were ramped and had contracted the Plague. There were several cases of this becoming an issue, for humans last year. Want to keep you around for a while. :-) Thanks for the scope cam footage, by the way. I know it is kinda a pain in the ass.

    I live in Canada and i'm a huge fan of Boerewors and Mrs. Ball's (sterk) chutney. Also love Biltong, unfortunatly we can no longer get Ostrich biltong up here so it's beef only for us.
    BTW, I'm not from South Africa, I'm from NFLD Canada, but my good friend is from there so that's how I discovered SA foods. Love pickled fish as well, some really good food in SA. Cheers.

    I clean up these guys on a Dairy farm, usually 2 to 3 hundred a year with a .17 HMR and noise isn't a factor, after a few kills I just move on to another corner of the field and carry on. No retrieval at all they get mopped up over night by Coyotes, Hawks as well as Turkey Vultures. Farmer just loves it and buys lots of ammo as they just desimate the field's.

A quick demo would be great if you remember when you next film perhaps? Many thanks and atb Dixie in uk.

    That is a lot of power for a 177 cal, I was thinking of getting the inpact in 25 cal but now I'm not sure after seeing how much power you are getting from the 177, is that out of the box or have you done some modifications? Thanks
