    What a great hunting video, Matt! I appreciate that you explain how hunting is an important part of wildlife conservation and the care taken in firearm/ammo preparation and when shooting to ensure ethical kills even at long ranges. I hope you get an ostrich soon. I also really like your focus on how wild meat is prepared and enjoyed. Years ago I worked at a place that had an annual wild game barbecue feast. People would bring various types of meat for all to sample, including deer, bear, elk, moose, caribou, raccoon, pheasant, geese, ducks, etc. A big surprise to me was how tasty mountain lion meat is. I assume that different African animal species each have their own flavor as well. Thanks for another wonderful adventure. Jess

  • @tobiasvanderwesthuizen3615

    Hi Matt
    I was wondering, have you ever considered using monolithics, like the VRG4 from Peregrine?
    I to use Eld-x, but was hoping to get your opinion on our home grown monolithics.
    Thanks in advance.

    • @AirArmsHuntingSA
      @AirArmsHuntingSA  6 років тому

      I’m not too keen on monolithics. I spoke to the guys at Peregrine earlier this year and they told me their bullets would not expand reliably at long range.

    • @tobiasvanderwesthuizen3615
      @tobiasvanderwesthuizen3615 6 років тому

      Aah ok, see I was also wondering about their ability to expand at longer ranges, since they require quite some velocity to expand completely.
      Thanks for the input tho.

    • @tobiasvanderwesthuizen3615
      @tobiasvanderwesthuizen3615 6 років тому

      @AirArmsHuntingSA , But concerning air rifle hunting, specifically the pellet aspect of things.
      Would you rather take as hp at high velocity, like the H&N Terminators, or heavy slugs/pellets at lower velocity, like JSB Monsters and H&N Rabbit Magnum?
      (For hunting purposes of corse, for rabbits and Guinea fowl)
      Would also like some advice on that seeing as I'm going hunting is a couple of week?
      Again, thanks in advance.

    • @AirArmsHuntingSA
      @AirArmsHuntingSA  6 років тому

      It depends... Guinea fowl for example have tough bodies and hard wingbones. A more solid and heavy slug would be better. Rabbits are soft, so a hollowpoint would be better.

    Matt, excellent production values on your video as always but personally I found watching you shoot the little duiker as he was lying down a little difficult to be honest. I know its a management kill...etc and have no issues. I am pro hunting and used to hunt Impala and kudu as a teen with my uncle in the northern transvaal back in the early 80's.
    What difference does it make if it was standing up...etc. Nothing I guess...i suppose I am just getting a bit more sentimental in my older age!
    Thorndale is a lovely looking place. I just hope it doesn't get stolen by the government.

    • @AirArmsHuntingSA
      @AirArmsHuntingSA  6 років тому

      I do get your point! I guess it comes down to what you are personally comfortable with. For me, I’d rather put in a good shot while it is lying down than risk a shot at an awkward angle as it stands up / moves away.
