@@AfricanSunProductions You are doing wrong how you destroy the earth can you imagine you you people destroyed the earth and makes it hell all credit goes to you
Yes, we are aware that most people don't agree with hunting in general, but we also understand that this is due to misinformation. If everyone could see the positive affect to wildlife as a whole, they will all support it or at least help us find an alternate method to fund conservation.
For those who would say just move or care for the animals in some other way, remember, we in the USA "care" for over 45,000 wild mustangs in BLM holding facilities at ridiculous cost annually to the tax paying. I'm a professional horse trainer and love horses, but to elevate this particular animal to a non-kill status, at this cost, is ludicrous. The cost of holding horses in these BLM facilities is over $50 million per year. This is in an insane misuse of our tax dollars as so many things are. Managed hunting and even slaughter for hungry people around, the world would be a far more sensible option. Ethical, well managed hunting is a wonderful and useful tool for proper wildlife management. Well done on this hunt. I loved it.
Thank you Caroline, this put everything in perspective. In Africa we don't have the government money (our own tax money) to use for conservation. Nobody takes care of these animals like hunters do. Thanks again for watching and for your support!
Our logic makes more sense than your spelling. Who do you think pays to protect these animals from poachers? Who do you think pays to supply food and water during drought. Who do you think pays the vet when they get sick? Hunting a few selected animals pays to protect thousand, these thousands multiply because they are taken care off. How many African game species do you take care of on your property?
@@AfricanSunProductions don't worry about my spelling english is not my native language the main thing is you understood what i wrote. poaching has increased and more and more lions are dying and by shooting them too you are helping them that is your logic. Damn, you're the stupidest person of the year.
English isn't my native language either, but I learned how to use it properly, just like we learned how to protect our wildlife. I am stupid in many things, that is true, but I can see the positive change that controlled hunting has on wildlife numbers, and I've seen what happens to wildlife when their habitat is taken over by villagers and cattle. It's extremely sad to see them all being wiped out. You didn't answer my other question: How many African animals do you care for on your property today? If the answer is 0, then you should get a few, take care of them and only then your opinion will matter.
Idk why people complain about this, some rich guy gets to stroke his ego and money gets put into making sure our great grandchildren knows what a lion is....win win situation.
Just my 2 cents. The tags for these animals are many thousands of dollars. I think a lion is around 30k. That money often goes directly to conservation of the species hunted. No animals, no big money tags after all. Yes some animals die, but over all the species is supposed to benefit.
You are correct. Sustainable utilization is the backbone of conservation here in Africa. Without hunting we'll lose 75% of our wildlife in a few years. Yes, there are a few outfitters that don't follow the rules and are in it only for the money, but the majority have a positive effect on wildlife as a whole.
Awesome video! It is sad that many people just click on this video just to leave a dislike and a hate comment without watching the video and understanding the benefits this does for conservation.
I agree! I wish more people would actually just listen and try to make sense of it. I'm glad that you did enjoy it! Thank you for watching and for your support.
@@AfricanSunProductionsé errado e ponto final, não se pode mudar o ecossistema, a natureza se encarrega de fazer isso, não é justo o SER HUMANO matar um animal desse.
There are plenty, all over Africa. Links lie, I can put anything I want on a website. The best is to come and witness it for yourself. There is no other way.
I really appreciate, as African , black, that the lioness hunter on this safari has recognized the good job of the black tracker . Usually white folks never thank black men for their guidance and for their African animals hunting !!
I'm glad that you noticed it, and I'll make a point of filming more of this interaction. My experience is that moat hunters do appreciate the help and thank the trackers. Mostly, I'm not filming at that stage and miss it. Thanks for watching, and thanks for your support.
I'm an African from South Africa and I believe the same: Never kill anything if it's only a game to you. Luckily all the hunts I film have a bigger purpose and benefits to wildlife as a whole. Thank you for watching and for your support.
You make the mistake of comparing humans with animals. Animals can't see when they are over- or underpopulated, humans can. When you know you have a problem, you can fix it. Animals can't fix their problems and we need to help in some areas.
All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole by protecting the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
Lions have absolutely no worth. They threaten people's livestock, people's lives, they eat everything, & most importantly they aren't edible for humans.
After school I worked in Namibia on a hunting farm and since I am a conservationist and hunter myself I’ll try to awnser the question why this kind of hunting PROTECTS and does not aid in the decimation of the animals: Try to imagine the country in sections where animals and people (Agrar culture etc) live together. The government has scientists work out how many animals of each species are making up a healthy and sustainable population. The number can vary from section to section because of different factors. For example: per Hektar of land in section A, four lions make a healthy sustainable population. Now imagine there are more than the 4 there, the population starts to get sicknesses or gets weak because of malnutrition etc. The government is now giving away permits for two lions to professional hunters who themselves pay for the permit. They now can take that permit and sell it to a client. The client pays a lot of money for taking one of these two LEGAL creatures. The money that is generated helps so the professional hunter can pay the locals to work for him, he pays for anti poaching AND conservation efforts in order to have a healthy population for the next season. So in short: the hunting of a few creatures helps to pay for the conservation of the entire species. It’s not perfect but as long as the animals have a financial worth they will be protected. Otherwise the animals will be hunted without any control with old AKs, snares, traps and poison till there doom. Maybe this helps with the explanation a little. Regards
This explanation is perfect, thank you for taking the time to help me educate the people that doesn't know about the advantages of legal and controlled hunting. I had a quick look at your channel, I'll definitely take some time and watch some of your bush craft videos, they look very interesting.
It's a good question. If the hunt is done legally and part of a conservation program then it actually help the population as a whole. The main reason for the decline in all wildlife is habitat loss. Villages are started where once was wildlife. The first thing they remove are all predators, this is to safeguard their cattle. Although human expansion is needed, it's still very sad that these habitats are lost.
The opposite is true, this actually leads to increase of lion population. First, most of these lions are bred in captivity and released just before shoting. Second, this is part of bigger conservation program where many people have incentives to keep lions population. Without hunting no one has incentives to save them.
All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole by protecting the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
By hunting a select few, we generate enough funds to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed. The biggest reason for wildlife numbers declining is habitat loss.
Those are majestic creatures, i really wonder if us people living in modern age could hunt those lone lions like our ancestors used to with spears and stone age tools in groups of 3 and 4
Truly majestic, I agree. I do believe some hunters will be able to hunt like in the old days, but I don't think we should. Tribal hunting is very cruel. The animal suffered much more than was needed. With modern weapons they die very quickly, much less pain and stress. The reasons for hunting also changed. Back then it was mostly for survival of humans, now it is for survival of animals. We cannot afford to protect our land, habitat and wildlife with other methods of income. Only with funds generated by foreign hunters can we give our wildlife a safe place to live and breed. The sacrifice of a few animals protect thousands of others.
I don't disrespect tribal hunting, it's unethical hunters I don't like. If your hunting destroys nature, then you shouldn't do it. If it's part of conservation and growing of wildlife then please continue.
How do you guys decide whether to shoot or not? This one looks in great condition, is it a numbers thing? Not a troll, I believe in managing wildlife no matter where in the world. Curious to the decision making but definitely not criticising 👍
Good day Andy. It's a legit question, thanks for asking. I wish I had a more definitive answer on this specific lion but I don't. I arrive and film, don't have all the info. I do know that sometimes it's a numbers thing, sometimes a non-breeding animals that can be replaced by a breeding one, new genetics etc. Sometimes it's just a lion that isn't in a pride, doesn't matter about the condition. In most countries there is an age limit of 5 years. Any younger than that isn't allowed to be shot. Sometimes you get problem animal permits for a cattle killer, but that doesn't happen in South Africa. Thanks for watching and thank you for the question. I hope this answer helps.
Thank you. It does answer the question, there are many factors at play when deciding what to shoot and when. Sustainably, ethical and number and age all come into play. I have seen the benefits that hunting can bring in the wider context of conservation. One animal taken can be of benefit to so much more than the antis would have most believe.
This isn’t managing there is no shortage of lions in Africa closer to being endangered than plentyfull they are simply doing this for pleasure not any type of “conservation” is going on here these guys are complete assholes
A few Lions are hunted for conservation purposes, in Africa they are hunted or relocated because they are a problem animal in some areas. Overall just like the Elephants, the Lion population worldwide is small but not so in our countries. It would be great if the American, Asian, European countries took some of them and placed them into their wild habitats , but all that they do is talk and complain but not help. The Legal Hunters and hunting practices are the only way to do it right now. Beef and other raw materials that is imported out of Africa is possible because We try to keep balance in the wildlife population, domestic population and the human population through CONSERVATION. Thank you @AfricanSunProductions for the effort.
It's too expensive, firstly. Secondly there aren't enough zoos to send them too. #3: Zoos all over the world are closing down due to animal abuse. #4. If you use all the money to send a few lions elsewhere we still have the problem that we cannot afford to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed. By hunting a few selected animals we protect thousand of others.
Do you have to consider local pride dynamics before taking a healthy male lion,for example couldn't it have a large nock on effect with its pride?,or other local prides?.
@@perniciouscarrot7528 That steady paycheque is often the difference between him being a guide and him being a poacher. Stop your crying or put your money where your mouth is, drop a hard $30 000 for conservation of these animals like these hunters did and then talk.
The very fact they don't even attempt to defend their actions (but through a clumsy and ridicous copied and pasted comment) speaks volume about their concern toward wildlife.
Thanks for the video, great hunt. I specially I liked the last lion's shoot, I know there's a few of you, but still takes some guts to approach as close as he did.
Hi Jean, thanks for the comment. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the movie. Yes, it's still very exciting to go after any of the Big 5 animals. Anything can go wrong at any time!
Closer is better, less chance of a bad shot and you can keep your eyes on the lion after the shot. If you lose sight of it you walk into a very dangerous situation.
To be honest I felt disgusted at first but then saw your replies and did some research...thank you for posting, but I would suggest a little disclaimer or something to educate people a little bit, it won't stop the hate but at least you'll know all the hate comes from stupid people ;) keep doing this good job, one day illegal hunting will be a thing of the past
Thank you for doing a bit of research before commenting. Very few people do this. I tried putting disclaimers in the video and in the description also, but that actually made it worse. Anti hunters either ignored it or used that to comment negatively on. I don't care about them but could also see that my views from hunters declined. My target viewers are serious hunters, and they all know the facts already. I decided to produce content for them, and for the others, I'll do my best to educate via comment replies.
Non, il avait un écosystème. Il a été détruit. Grâce à ces programmes de chasse, l'écosystème a été restauré et ils ont désormais à nouveau un endroit où vivre. J'accepte vos excuses par avance.
In many areas photographic safaris are successful, but in most it doesn't work. In SA we have only three national parks that show a profit and can therefore afford anti-poaching units. Compare this to hundreds of privately owned reserves that can afford to protect thousands of animals by hunting a selected few.
Nossa, você é uma pessoa muito violenta. Por que você diria uma coisa dessas? Aceito antecipadamente suas desculpas porque sei que você não entende o que está acontecendo aqui. Não deixe que isso aconteça novamente, a educação é fundamental.
Everything involving lions are very expensive. That's one of the reasons the funds generated by these hunts are needed so badly. Can't do conservation without funding.
Yes sir, that is what we are doing. All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole.
Client needs a little more practice and a little less scope. Less is more on a hunting rifle like that. My 9.3x62 wears a slim Razor LH 1.8-8. The 9.3x66 wears a Leupold 1.5-5. It’s a good thing he didn’t need another round since his windage turret kept the casing from ejecting and he just stared at it.
The client informed me that he didn't want to eject the shell far, he wanted to keep it and he could see that the lion was down, so he wasn't rushed to reload. We also had a few backup rifles with us, so definitely a controlled situation. Thank for the input, I appreciate your comment, I notices a few comments by you.
@@AfricanSunProductions gotcha, makes more sense. Yeah, I couldn’t sleep and have binge watch a few of these videos. Underrated channel, not too many have such good quality videoed African hunts.
Thank you for binging! I'm very happy you enjoy my work, it's hard work filming and editing but well worth it when I get comments like this. Please click the 👍🏻 and share!
Assistindo esse vídeo eu me pergunto, pra que isso? Pensam que isso é um grande troféu? Pra que matar esses animais tão majestosos? Com certezas esses caras não são homens de verdade! Mas enfim, se lá isso é liberado... Que deus proteja os pobres animais 🙏
@@_Correa Antes desta área ser usada para caça, não tinha vida selvagem. Aldeões e gado tomaram conta e roubaram tudo. Então um homem comprou a propriedade e retirou todo o gado e introduziu cerca de 25 espécies na área. Ele então continuou e por 4 anos protegeu esses animais. Não, ele caça alguns a cada ano para ajudar a pagar a proteção de milhares, mas você o condena? Tudo isso deve voltar para as terras agrícolas com gado? Qual é sua resposta?
Resposta pra você Cristiano. Pra gerar renda pra conservação,quanto você acha que esse leão e leoas geraram em imposto pra conservação de parques nacionais e pagar equipamento e equipes anti caça ilegal em toda a África,ou você acha que o dinheiro investido nisso vem do céu? Ou que a população carente paga do bolso por isso. Um leão tem VALOR nos países africanos custa por baixo 150 mil reais,sua caça gera emprego e renda pras comunidades locais,sua caça impede que o conflito entre humanos e animais saia do controle (ou você acha que as comunidades locais gostam de ter animais potencialmente perigosos a solta),agora olha o caso do Brasil,quer saber quanto custa uma onça no Brasil? Zero reais pra caçar e uma tonelada de prejuízo se atacar um rebanho de gado ou novilhos,governo nenhum vai proteger a onça e nem dar compensação ao fazendeiro (conflito entre humano e animal). Agora quer saber quanto uma onça valeria em um sistema de caça legalizada? Facilmente 140 mil reais e até mais,deixaria de ser prejuízo e se tornaria NEGÓCIO, o fazendeiro criaria animais pra onça comer e protegeria a vegetação natural do terreno (ao invés de derrubar tudo pra plantar soja) para a onça viver. Agora o que te levou a dizer que as pessoas que participaram desse vídeo não são homens eu realmente não sei,qual sua definição de homem? Porque quem está agindo como criança é você assistindo um vídeo de caça e ofendendo os envolvidos baseado em absolutamente nada fora idealismo barato e burro,ou já leu sobre o tema da caça legalizada e como ela ajudou na conservação de inúmeras espécies em todos continentes.
Can someone please tell me how hunting lions is part of conservation? I mean I know some African countries have well regulations like in Namibia and protected areas such as national parks. But I just want to know why since lions play an important role by managing prey animal populations and are also currently listed as a vulnerable species. Just asking if anyone here knows.
Thank you for asking. Hunting of this type of species is highly controlled and it offers multiple benefits to the species as a whole. These hunts generate a lot of funding that goes directly into protection of the land and habitat where thousands of animals live. The funds also go to employment of anti-poaching teams. Usually the animals to hunt are selected as to not damage the current population and make space for new genes to come in the the area. Thanks again for asking. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.
@@AfricanSunProductions Thank you for the information, I’ve been concerned about the wildlife in Africa for a long time and have been wanting to know how this is part of conservation and also finding out ways to not only protect Africa’s fauna but also their habitats. I’m also concerned about leopards with them suffering from more threats than lions such as human wildlife conflict and poorly managed trophy hunting in certain areas. (According to Panthera Corporation) If you happen to know anything about the leopards of Africa. I would love to hear more about their conservation efforts. Again thanks for the info above.
Good day Joseph. Unfortunately I do not have much information on Leopard specific conservation efforts, I will do some research though. Human wildlife conflict is one of the main reasons wildlife numbers in general are declining. Luckily Leopard can adjust better than most other species but poisoning and poaching with dogs are the main threads. I agree that many hunting areas are mismanaged and doesn't help much to protect the species. We cannot judge all hunting outfitters by the actions of a few. One of the many reasons to have a hunt filmed is that is makes illegal activity much harder. All the outfitters I work with not only want to be legal but also want to make a positive difference to wildlife numbers. Thank you again for your comments and the mature way you send them.
Great hunt, and some great lions! Keep up the good work and don’t let these anti hunters get you down they either don’t understand or refuse to and just want to get rid of hunting
Thank you for the support, I appreciate it very much. I don't let them get me down, I know they don't understand the need for controlled hunting. I try to educate some and every now and then get through to one.
The only thing I wish you would do is talk about the guns being used. We don’t see much of those calibers here. I love researching the guns and calibers.
I will definitely get more of that on future hunts. I do think there is some info while they are at the shooting range, please have another look. I'll also check when I have better signal. Thanks for watching! Where are you based?
Just one is needed, and a second carried by a professional to comply with the law. Since I've been mauled by a lion already, I'm very thankful for all the extras. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@AfricanSunProductions just the wildlife survive with their way. Once lions need to kill another animal, you need to left it happen because it's a natural control way. So now, you guys are killing huge and beautiful lions just for fun????? And saying it's good for all wildlife... Lions are in extintion risk, just preserve it.
We do preserve them, yes. There are almost no truly wild areas left in Africa. Villagers are moving in everywhere and with them they bring cattle. When cattle moves in the villagers will kill ALL lions, just like the Masai tribe did in Tanzania. Not a single lion is left. So do we let uncontrolled decimation of animals happen, or do we protect the species by only hunting a few selected animals? I know the latter is the only option we have and that is why we do it.
Great hunt! Unfortunate that most people think hunting only applies to whitetail and Turkey. They don’t realize there’s a whole world of amazing hunts out there and just because the hunt isn’t something you see in Ohio , doesn’t mean that it’s cruel. Once you understand the benefits of safari hunting , it’s fascinating to watch! Nothing like whitetail hunting but there’s a whole world of amazing hunts outside of it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, and even happier that you understand hunting as a whole. Africa has so much to offer AND Africa benefit from it also. Win win. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
This is not hunting, it's the same as a man with bare hands will go out on a lion. The whole point of this hunt is that fat guys with big wallets don't know what else to do in this life and kill animals of which there are hundreds left in the world, I hope that sometime something will happen on one of the hunts and the person who paid money for killing animals will be left alone with the beast without weapons
That is very rude piluga_klein_tril. I accept your apology in advance because I can see you clearly have no idea why these hunts are needed for the conservation of wildlife. Do some honest research dude.
@@AfricanSunProductionsThis is such a ridiculous comment about comparing turkey hunting to the destruction of lions; we are talking here about an endangered species, they are about to be wiped out from the face of the earth, don't you people understand that? Once they are gone, they're gone. Why don't you do some research on the number of Lions left in Africa?
This is just wrong, lions are endangered enough and I don’t know why everyone is agreeing with this. Killing animals such as boar, deer etc is acceptable but killing a lion for sport is unacceptable. As much as people enjoyed this and thought it was good are monsters. No animals deserve to be treated this way. Absolutely shocking!!
Why do you assume this is only for sport? It's absolutely shocking that you just ignore the true reason for this. People shouldn't have opinions about serious subjects if they don't have all the facts.
@@AfricanSunProductions Maybe inform us on the reason for hunting this animal how you gonna tell people their assuming when you give literally no reason on why your killing an endangered animal
Hi Brad. In the first part of the video description I state that this is part of sustainable utilization programs. You ignored that. I've had videos with long explanations about these programs and even that didn't change anything, too many people didn't that part and didn't read the full story in the video description. I decided to make these videos for people that understand it and enjoy watching it instead of adding parts that they already know and the anti-hunters don't believe anyways. The fact is that we cannot afford to protect their habitat without funds raised by selectively hunting a few animals. It's not perfect but it's the best tool we have.
Can you not relocate them into a different area? Not somewhere we’re it can’t live but somewhere else where they are native. Just asking I’m not trying to start an argument.
The problem is that relocation is very expensive and the whole idea is to raise the needed funds to protect the land and habitat where they already live. If you spend your budget on relocating one or two lions, the thousands of other animals on that land don't benefit at all, you'll lose most of them.
Not me personally, no. There are teams from nature conservation departments all over Africa that do the studies and do the research. They decide how many can be hunted as part of their conservation programs.
This client is like a robot. No life. No energy. Just existing.... i would be so grateful and excited to take such a beautiful animal. Id love a chance to be able to experience such a wonderful thing.
@bigetnt I wish I could invite you, but I'm also there on invitation, so it's tough. Hopefully, someday you can book a hunt of your own and I can join you.
These videos are quite enjoyable and I appreciate the production quality! Something I've wondered is what happens to the animals after the hunt? Is the meat taken by the hunters or given to locals? Also, what trophies are allowed to be taken?
Good day Russ, thanks for the comment. All the meat used in some way or form, depending on the country of the hunt. In many African countries lion meat is a delicacy. If there is a village or town close to the hunting area, most of the meat is donated there. The hunter can use some of the meat while he is in Africa but cannot take any meat to his home country. Thanks again for watching and for your comment.
Many don't understand it, but it's an effective conservation method. The funding generated is what is needed to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
Потому что нам нужны средства для защиты земли и среды обитания от браконьеров и сельских жителей. Охота на нескольких избранных животных позволяет защитить тысячи.
What if they kill a lion whos a great head of family protects his cubs... dont do that.. i know hunters are great conservationists. Please always be that. Like i said know your targets. Not every male lion is the same...
That's OK. My channel and all my videos are clearly marked as hunting videos to warn people that don't understand the reason behind it all. Thanks for letting me know.
Buenos días. Si no entiende el razonamiento detrás del desarrollo sostenible, puede parecer triste. El motivo de estas cacerías es recaudar fondos para proteger a miles, hay un programa diseñado para esto.
For money to save the wildlife apparently, shit f it nature survived millions of years by itself it didn't need any of you to help it but the same can say no one would stop you from hunting then, which tbh if that's the reason your doing then say so. Hate seeing lions getting killed or any cat
Hi Imapls. I agree that wildlife used to be able to look after itself, but lately it's been tough. The extreme rise in human population means that Africa has less and less safe places for wildlife. Nature reserved do make a positive impact but it is very localized. Controlled hunting like this generated the needed funds to protect huge amounts of land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
Todas las cacerías que filmo son parte de programas de utilización sostenible diseñados para aumentar la cantidad de vida silvestre en su conjunto. La caza de unos pocos animales seleccionados aporta suficientes fondos para proteger a miles.
A veces hay muchos comentarios pero realmente hay que ver la situaciones que se viven en diferentes lugares del mundo mas cuando hay sobre poblacion de animales a si y cuando ellos empiezan a cazar el ganado o incluso niños saludos excelente video y muy buen diaparo todo un cazador profesional que sabe donde dar al animal y evitar el sufrimiento saludos bendiciones los veo desde honduras centro américa
Me alegro mucho de tu comentario. Lo dices perfectamente: necesitas ver la situación tal como es. No hagas suposiciones basadas en emociones, más bien básalas en hechos. Gracias por mirar y por su apoyo.
Un disparo en la cabeza es muy arriesgado, es necesario golpear perfectamente una determinada parte del cerebro para una muerte inmediata. Si se pierde el animal queda herido y vivirá unos días antes de morir a causa de la infección. Las inyecciones al corazón y los pulmones son mucho más efectivas. Los animales no recorren más de 50 metros y luego mueren. Definitivamente el tiro más humano.
Não é apenas legal, mas também necessário. A caça controlada é a espinha dorsal da conservação aqui em África. O UA-cam sabe e entende isso, por isso o vídeo é permitido.
Who manufactured the rifle for the first hunter? They can design a weapon that drives 100s of grains of lead and copper at supersonic speeds but apparently haven’t been able to crack the problem of brass ejection. In my opinion these dangerous game big bore rifles should throw a case 20 feet. No matter how much you explain in detail how these lions are helping to provide financial support people will always get upset when they see a lion get shot at close range. Keep up the good work
I actually spoke to the hunter about this. He said he reloads slow on purpose, he keeps the case and write the date and species on it. Personally I will reload asap and be ready! I agree, the anti's will never understand, or even want to understand.
2 minutes of silence for tribute to this lion❤

For those who would say just move or care for the animals in some other way, remember, we in the USA "care" for over 45,000 wild mustangs in BLM holding facilities at ridiculous cost annually to the tax paying. I'm a professional horse trainer and love horses, but to elevate this particular animal to a non-kill status, at this cost, is ludicrous. The cost of holding horses in these BLM facilities is over $50 million per year. This is in an insane misuse of our tax dollars as so many things are. Managed hunting and even slaughter for hungry people around, the world would be a far more sensible option. Ethical, well managed hunting is a wonderful and useful tool for proper wildlife management. Well done on this hunt. I loved it.
Thank you Caroline, this put everything in perspective. In Africa we don't have the government money (our own tax money) to use for conservation. Nobody takes care of these animals like hunters do.
Thanks again for watching and for your support!
@@AfricanSunProductions you are so stupied. We care thats why we shot them. You logic is out of this world
Our logic makes more sense than your spelling. Who do you think pays to protect these animals from poachers? Who do you think pays to supply food and water during drought. Who do you think pays the vet when they get sick? Hunting a few selected animals pays to protect thousand, these thousands multiply because they are taken care off.
How many African game species do you take care of on your property?
@@AfricanSunProductions don't worry about my spelling english is not my native language the main thing is you understood what i wrote. poaching has increased and more and more lions are dying and by shooting them too you are helping them that is your logic. Damn, you're the stupidest person of the year.
English isn't my native language either, but I learned how to use it properly, just like we learned how to protect our wildlife. I am stupid in many things, that is true, but I can see the positive change that controlled hunting has on wildlife numbers, and I've seen what happens to wildlife when their habitat is taken over by villagers and cattle. It's extremely sad to see them all being wiped out.
You didn't answer my other question: How many African animals do you care for on your property today? If the answer is 0, then you should get a few, take care of them and only then your opinion will matter.
Idk why people complain about this, some rich guy gets to stroke his ego and money gets put into making sure our great grandchildren knows what a lion is....win win situation.
Indeed. It's as simple as that. Thanks for the support!
Just my 2 cents. The tags for these animals are many thousands of dollars. I think a lion is around 30k. That money often goes directly to conservation of the species hunted. No animals, no big money tags after all. Yes some animals die, but over all the species is supposed to benefit.
You are correct. Sustainable utilization is the backbone of conservation here in Africa. Without hunting we'll lose 75% of our wildlife in a few years. Yes, there are a few outfitters that don't follow the rules and are in it only for the money, but the majority have a positive effect on wildlife as a whole.
Exactly
Awesome video! It is sad that many people just click on this video just to leave a dislike and a hate comment without watching the video and understanding the benefits this does for conservation.

@@AfricanSunProductionsé errado e ponto final, não se pode mudar o ecossistema, a natureza se encarrega de fazer isso, não é justo o SER HUMANO matar um animal desse.
There is an over population of human in Africa will you hunt them for the sake of conservation?
@@AfricanSunProductions
Monsters, I hope the lion wins next time.
Sometimes they do. It's tough but someone has to do it.
Lion vs 5 guys with very high powered rifles. The lion has little chance of surviving.
I know, that's the idea...
@@AfricanSunProductions f*ck shut up
I can't belive they are putting this on UA-cam
Why? It's a needed conservation program.
@@AfricanSunProductions
Stop lying. There is no such conversation prorgram. If it was, you would share link or so.
There are plenty, all over Africa. Links lie, I can put anything I want on a website. The best is to come and witness it for yourself. There is no other way.
I really appreciate, as African , black, that the lioness hunter on this safari has recognized the good job of the black tracker . Usually white folks never thank black men for their guidance and for their African animals hunting !!
I'm glad that you noticed it, and I'll make a point of filming more of this interaction. My experience is that moat hunters do appreciate the help and thank the trackers. Mostly, I'm not filming at that stage and miss it.

Will do, Homolander. Have a great weekend.
I'm an Aboriginal from Perth WA and I don't believe in killing any of this earth's beautiful majestic animals for game it makes me feel so sad 😢
I'm an African from South Africa and I believe the same: Never kill anything if it's only a game to you. Luckily all the hunts I film have a bigger purpose and benefits to wildlife as a whole.

That's weird, right!!
I wish all of the haters in the comments had the same compassion for other humans
I agree completely. 👍🏻
😂whats the point? Imagine you are walking in the street and someone shot you .Is It right? Humans beings huge egoes
I agree with you
You make the mistake of comparing humans with animals. Animals can't see when they are over- or underpopulated, humans can. When you know you have a problem, you can fix it. Animals can't fix their problems and we need to help in some areas.
Lions arent overpopulated. They are endangered. Thats were your wrong.
What is the purpose of hunting the lions if I may ask how does it help conserve the wild life
All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole by protecting the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
Lions have absolutely no worth. They threaten people's livestock, people's lives, they eat everything, & most importantly they aren't edible for humans.
Such a amazing shot. Perfectly on point amazing
Thanks Jay, much appreciated. I appreciate your support.
After school I worked in Namibia on a hunting farm and since I am a conservationist and hunter myself I’ll try to awnser the question why this kind of hunting PROTECTS and does not aid in the decimation of the animals:
Try to imagine the country in sections where animals and people (Agrar culture etc) live together. The government has scientists work out how many animals of each species are making up a healthy and sustainable population. The number can vary from section to section because of different factors. For example: per Hektar of land in section A, four lions make a healthy sustainable population. Now imagine there are more than the 4 there, the population starts to get sicknesses or gets weak because of malnutrition etc. The government is now giving away permits for two lions to professional hunters who themselves pay for the permit. They now can take that permit and sell it to a client. The client pays a lot of money for taking one of these two LEGAL creatures. The money that is generated helps so the professional hunter can pay the locals to work for him, he pays for anti poaching AND conservation efforts in order to have a healthy population for the next season.
So in short: the hunting of a few creatures helps to pay for the conservation of the entire species. It’s not perfect but as long as the animals have a financial worth they will be protected. Otherwise the animals will be hunted without any control with old AKs, snares, traps and poison till there doom. Maybe this helps with the explanation a little. Regards
This explanation is perfect, thank you for taking the time to help me educate the people that doesn't know about the advantages of legal and controlled hunting.
I had a quick look at your channel, I'll definitely take some time and watch some of your bush craft videos, they look very interesting.
@@AfricanSunProductions no worries 😉 if you ever need a German apprentice please tell me, would be my dream to be back in africa
I wish I could take you up on the offer! I gather you have been here before?
@@AfricanSunProductions yes Sir, several months i worked in Namibia 🇳🇦 it was the greatest time ever
I love Namibia. Used to fish there a lot! Where did you stay?
Just a simple question.. doesn't it leads to extinction of lions from africa?? Or they are more in number there which allowed there hunting?
It's a good question. If the hunt is done legally and part of a conservation program then it actually help the population as a whole. The main reason for the decline in all wildlife is habitat loss. Villages are started where once was wildlife. The first thing they remove are all predators, this is to safeguard their cattle. Although human expansion is needed, it's still very sad that these habitats are lost.
@@AfricanSunProductions no that’s a lie.
The opposite is true, this actually leads to increase of lion population. First, most of these lions are bred in captivity and released just before shoting. Second, this is part of bigger conservation program where many people have incentives to keep lions population. Without hunting no one has incentives to save them.
@InstituteOfValue Agreed. Even more important is that funds generated by hunting are used to keep wild areas wild.
@user-wg3wj6ur9z Nope. Come and visit us, any of the outfitters I work with, and then decide. You can not have an opinion without the facts.
Can you tell me why do you kill? there are very few lions left in the world....
All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole by protecting the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
@@AfricanSunProductions how would you increase lions if your killing them
By hunting a select few, we generate enough funds to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
The biggest reason for wildlife numbers declining is habitat loss.
@@AfricanSunProductions We should not play with nature, everyone has the right to live
@JitendraSinghJk10 I agree, it's not a game. But you also can't just ignore the problem and not try to fix it.
I love your videos; please! Keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Those are majestic creatures, i really wonder if us people living in modern age could hunt those lone lions like our ancestors used to with spears and stone age tools in groups of 3 and 4
Truly majestic, I agree. I do believe some hunters will be able to hunt like in the old days, but I don't think we should. Tribal hunting is very cruel. The animal suffered much more than was needed. With modern weapons they die very quickly, much less pain and stress. The reasons for hunting also changed. Back then it was mostly for survival of humans, now it is for survival of animals. We cannot afford to protect our land, habitat and wildlife with other methods of income. Only with funds generated by foreign hunters can we give our wildlife a safe place to live and breed. The sacrifice of a few animals protect thousands of others.
@@AfricanSunProductionsdon’t disrespect tribal hunting to make yourself look better weirdo
I don't disrespect tribal hunting, it's unethical hunters I don't like. If your hunting destroys nature, then you shouldn't do it. If it's part of conservation and growing of wildlife then please continue.
How do you guys decide whether to shoot or not? This one looks in great condition, is it a numbers thing? Not a troll, I believe in managing wildlife no matter where in the world. Curious to the decision making but definitely not criticising 👍
Good day Andy. It's a legit question, thanks for asking. I wish I had a more definitive answer on this specific lion but I don't. I arrive and film, don't have all the info. I do know that sometimes it's a numbers thing, sometimes a non-breeding animals that can be replaced by a breeding one, new genetics etc. Sometimes it's just a lion that isn't in a pride, doesn't matter about the condition.
In most countries there is an age limit of 5 years. Any younger than that isn't allowed to be shot. Sometimes you get problem animal permits for a cattle killer, but that doesn't happen in South Africa.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the question. I hope this answer helps.
Thank you. It does answer the question, there are many factors at play when deciding what to shoot and when. Sustainably, ethical and number and age all come into play. I have seen the benefits that hunting can bring in the wider context of conservation. One animal taken can be of benefit to so much more than the antis would have most believe.
This isn’t managing there is no shortage of lions in Africa closer to being endangered than plentyfull they are simply doing this for pleasure not any type of “conservation” is going on here these guys are complete assholes
What’s next a giraffe
@bobbynfriends Maybe, depends on a few factors.

Fantastic hunt, beautiful animals, congratulations!
Thanks for watching and for your support.
A few Lions are hunted for conservation purposes, in Africa they are hunted or relocated because they are a problem animal in some areas. Overall just like the Elephants, the Lion population worldwide is small but not so in our countries. It would be great if the American, Asian, European countries took some of them and placed them into their wild habitats , but all that they do is talk and complain but not help. The Legal Hunters and hunting practices are the only way to do it right now. Beef and other raw materials that is imported out of Africa is possible because We try to keep balance in the wildlife population, domestic population and the human population through CONSERVATION. Thank you @AfricanSunProductions for the effort.
Thank you for the great explanation. I wish more people would actually read and THINK about it.
I appreciate your support!
My question is why cant they just sedate them and then send them to zoos all around the globe rather then just killing them ?? Arent lions endangered?
It's too expensive, firstly. Secondly there aren't enough zoos to send them too. #3: Zoos all over the world are closing down due to animal abuse. #4. If you use all the money to send a few lions elsewhere we still have the problem that we cannot afford to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed. By hunting a few selected animals we protect thousand of others.
The way they guide the hunters are an example of their professionalism ❤
I agree, it's a team effort. Thanks for watching!
Do you have to consider local pride dynamics before taking a healthy male lion,for example couldn't it have a large nock on effect with its pride?,or other local prides?.
Yes, many things need to be considered therefore you always have a qualified guide with you and in many countries you need a wildlife ranger also.
@@AfricanSunProductions Easy way to destroy the guilt you face? Those guides are trying to make money and make sure you have a good hunt
@@perniciouscarrot7528 Easy, just don't be a pussy.
Indeed, making money is how conservation is funded. Yes, the guides get a salary, they have to eat also.
@@perniciouscarrot7528 That steady paycheque is often the difference between him being a guide and him being a poacher. Stop your crying or put your money where your mouth is, drop a hard $30 000 for conservation of these animals like these hunters did and then talk.

If the distance between your team and the lion wasn’t far apart would the hunt have a higher chance of failing?
Closer is better, less chance of a bad shot and you can keep your eyes on the lion after the shot. If you lose sight of it you walk into a very dangerous situation.
To be honest I felt disgusted at first but then saw your replies and did some research...thank you for posting, but I would suggest a little disclaimer or something to educate people a little bit, it won't stop the hate but at least you'll know all the hate comes from stupid people ;) keep doing this good job, one day illegal hunting will be a thing of the past
Thank you for doing a bit of research before commenting. Very few people do this. I tried putting disclaimers in the video and in the description also, but that actually made it worse. Anti hunters either ignored it or used that to comment negatively on. I don't care about them but could also see that my views from hunters declined. My target viewers are serious hunters, and they all know the facts already. I decided to produce content for them, and for the others, I'll do my best to educate via comment replies.

You can also pay to see those innocent animals instead of killing them by taking a jungle safari.
In many areas photographic safaris are successful, but in most it doesn't work. In SA we have only three national parks that show a profit and can therefore afford anti-poaching units. Compare this to hundreds of privately owned reserves that can afford to protect thousands of animals by hunting a selected few.
Why record and publish the murder of a living being in its natural habitat, and that has the same desire to live as you?
It's a complicated answer. The short version is that controlled and legal hunting funds most of our conservation here in Africa.

@@voulakati8152 I am not crazy but you Are rubbish...understand the wildlife...
Client needs a little more practice and a little less scope. Less is more on a hunting rifle like that. My 9.3x62 wears a slim Razor LH 1.8-8. The 9.3x66 wears a Leupold 1.5-5. It’s a good thing he didn’t need another round since his windage turret kept the casing from ejecting and he just stared at it.
The client informed me that he didn't want to eject the shell far, he wanted to keep it and he could see that the lion was down, so he wasn't rushed to reload. We also had a few backup rifles with us, so definitely a controlled situation.

Um leão tem VALOR nos países africanos custa por baixo 150 mil reais,sua caça gera emprego e renda pras comunidades locais,sua caça impede que o conflito entre humanos e animais saia do controle (ou você acha que as comunidades locais gostam de ter animais potencialmente perigosos a solta),agora olha o caso do Brasil,quer saber quanto custa uma onça no Brasil? Zero reais pra caçar e uma tonelada de prejuízo se atacar um rebanho de gado ou novilhos,governo nenhum vai proteger a onça e nem dar compensação ao fazendeiro (conflito entre humano e animal). Agora quer saber quanto uma onça valeria em um sistema de caça legalizada? Facilmente 140 mil reais e até mais,deixaria de ser prejuízo e se tornaria NEGÓCIO, o fazendeiro criaria animais pra onça comer e protegeria a vegetação natural do terreno (ao invés de derrubar tudo pra plantar soja) para a onça viver.

Thanks! Coffee is great.
Can someone please tell me how hunting lions is part of conservation? I mean I know some African countries have well regulations like in Namibia and protected areas such as national parks. But I just want to know why since lions play an important role by managing prey animal populations and are also currently listed as a vulnerable species. Just asking if anyone here knows.
Thank you for asking. Hunting of this type of species is highly controlled and it offers multiple benefits to the species as a whole. These hunts generate a lot of funding that goes directly into protection of the land and habitat where thousands of animals live. The funds also go to employment of anti-poaching teams. Usually the animals to hunt are selected as to not damage the current population and make space for new genes to come in the the area.
Thanks again for asking. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.
@@AfricanSunProductions Thank you for the information, I’ve been concerned about the wildlife in Africa for a long time and have been wanting to know how this is part of conservation and also finding out ways to not only protect Africa’s fauna but also their habitats. I’m also concerned about leopards with them suffering from more threats than lions such as human wildlife conflict and poorly managed trophy hunting in certain areas. (According to Panthera Corporation) If you happen to know anything about the leopards of Africa. I would love to hear more about their conservation efforts.
Again thanks for the info above.
Good day Joseph. Unfortunately I do not have much information on Leopard specific conservation efforts, I will do some research though.
Human wildlife conflict is one of the main reasons wildlife numbers in general are declining. Luckily Leopard can adjust better than most other species but poisoning and poaching with dogs are the main threads. I agree that many hunting areas are mismanaged and doesn't help much to protect the species.
We cannot judge all hunting outfitters by the actions of a few. One of the many reasons to have a hunt filmed is that is makes illegal activity much harder. All the outfitters I work with not only want to be legal but also want to make a positive difference to wildlife numbers.
Thank you again for your comments and the mature way you send them.
@@AfricanSunProductions Once again thank you for the information. And your very welcome.
Even a king can fall down from a bullet, so heartbreaking.
At least it is done for a good reason. These hunts pay to protect the land and habitat where thousands of animals can now safely live.

Great hunt, and some great lions! Keep up the good work and don’t let these anti hunters get you down they either don’t understand or refuse to and just want to get rid of hunting
Thank you for the support, I appreciate it very much. I don't let them get me down, I know they don't understand the need for controlled hunting. I try to educate some and every now and then get through to one.
The only thing I wish you would do is talk about the guns being used. We don’t see much of those calibers here. I love researching the guns and calibers.
I will definitely get more of that on future hunts. I do think there is some info while they are at the shooting range, please have another look. I'll also check when I have better signal.
Thanks for watching! Where are you based?
How many guns does it take to take a tamed lion?
Just one is needed, and a second carried by a professional to comply with the law. Since I've been mauled by a lion already, I'm very thankful for all the extras.

You guys are kidding me saying this is the better way to save other thousand wildlife, why kill lions???? Hunt should be prohibited in all the world
Which other way would you suggest is better than sustainable utilization? I'm open for suggestions.
@@AfricanSunProductions just the wildlife survive with their way. Once lions need to kill another animal, you need to left it happen because it's a natural control way. So now, you guys are killing huge and beautiful lions just for fun????? And saying it's good for all wildlife... Lions are in extintion risk, just preserve it.
We do preserve them, yes. There are almost no truly wild areas left in Africa. Villagers are moving in everywhere and with them they bring cattle. When cattle moves in the villagers will kill ALL lions, just like the Masai tribe did in Tanzania. Not a single lion is left.
So do we let uncontrolled decimation of animals happen, or do we protect the species by only hunting a few selected animals?
I know the latter is the only option we have and that is why we do it.

Great hunt! Unfortunate that most people think hunting only applies to whitetail and Turkey. They don’t realize there’s a whole world of amazing hunts out there and just because the hunt isn’t something you see in Ohio , doesn’t mean that it’s cruel. Once you understand the benefits of safari hunting , it’s fascinating to watch! Nothing like whitetail hunting but there’s a whole world of amazing hunts outside of it.

This is not hunting, it's the same as a man with bare hands will go out on a lion. The whole point of this hunt is that fat guys with big wallets don't know what else to do in this life and kill animals of which there are hundreds left in the world, I hope that sometime something will happen on one of the hunts and the person who paid money for killing animals will be left alone with the beast without weapons
That is very rude piluga_klein_tril. I accept your apology in advance because I can see you clearly have no idea why these hunts are needed for the conservation of wildlife. Do some honest research dude.

@@AfricanSunProductionsThis is such a ridiculous comment about comparing turkey hunting to the destruction of lions; we are talking here about an endangered species, they are about to be wiped out from the face of the earth, don't you people understand that? Once they are gone, they're gone. Why don't you do some research on the number of Lions left in Africa?
This is just wrong, lions are endangered enough and I don’t know why everyone is agreeing with this. Killing animals such as boar, deer etc is acceptable but killing a lion for sport is unacceptable. As much as people enjoyed this and thought it was good are monsters. No animals deserve to be treated this way. Absolutely shocking!!
Why do you assume this is only for sport? It's absolutely shocking that you just ignore the true reason for this. People shouldn't have opinions about serious subjects if they don't have all the facts.
@@AfricanSunProductions Maybe inform us on the reason for hunting this animal how you gonna tell people their assuming when you give literally no reason on why your killing an endangered animal
Hi Brad. In the first part of the video description I state that this is part of sustainable utilization programs. You ignored that. I've had videos with long explanations about these programs and even that didn't change anything, too many people didn't that part and didn't read the full story in the video description. I decided to make these videos for people that understand it and enjoy watching it instead of adding parts that they already know and the anti-hunters don't believe anyways.
The fact is that we cannot afford to protect their habitat without funds raised by selectively hunting a few animals. It's not perfect but it's the best tool we have.
Can you not relocate them into a different area? Not somewhere we’re it can’t live but somewhere else where they are native. Just asking I’m not trying to start an argument.
The problem is that relocation is very expensive and the whole idea is to raise the needed funds to protect the land and habitat where they already live. If you spend your budget on relocating one or two lions, the thousands of other animals on that land don't benefit at all, you'll lose most of them.
I hate this hunting of an innocent lion
Don't worry, there are good reasons for it
@@AfricanSunProductions so you decide their lives? As you think you created them?
Not me personally, no. There are teams from nature conservation departments all over Africa that do the studies and do the research. They decide how many can be hunted as part of their conservation programs.

These videos are quite enjoyable and I appreciate the production quality! Something I've wondered is what happens to the animals after the hunt? Is the meat taken by the hunters or given to locals? Also, what trophies are allowed to be taken?
Good day Russ, thanks for the comment. All the meat used in some way or form, depending on the country of the hunt. In many African countries lion meat is a delicacy. If there is a village or town close to the hunting area, most of the meat is donated there.
The hunter can use some of the meat while he is in Africa but cannot take any meat to his home country.

What if they kill a lion whos a great head of family protects his cubs... dont do that.. i know hunters are great conservationists. Please always be that. Like i said know your targets. Not every male lion is the same...
Hi Bruce and thanks for the comment. This was a solitary male so there are no cubs to worry about.
Thanks for watching!
i will never subscribe this channel
That's OK. My channel and all my videos are clearly marked as hunting videos to warn people that don't understand the reason behind it all.
Thanks for letting me know.
Amazing video! why do you hunt them tho?
Thanks!
All the hunts I film are part of sustainable utilization programs designed to increase wildlife numbers as a whole.
pobres animalitos, por qué los matan y les causan ese daño?
ellos tranquilos en sus habitas sin molestar a nadie, qué triste ver esto
Buenos días. Si no entiende el razonamiento detrás del desarrollo sostenible, puede parecer triste. El motivo de estas cacerías es recaudar fondos para proteger a miles, hay un programa diseñado para esto.
De acuerdo, gracias.
For money to save the wildlife apparently, shit f it nature survived millions of years by itself it didn't need any of you to help it but the same can say no one would stop you from hunting then, which tbh if that's the reason your doing then say so.
Hate seeing lions getting killed or any cat
Hi Imapls. I agree that wildlife used to be able to look after itself, but lately it's been tough. The extreme rise in human population means that Africa has less and less safe places for wildlife. Nature reserved do make a positive impact but it is very localized. Controlled hunting like this generated the needed funds to protect huge amounts of land and habitat where thousands of animals live and breed.
QUE PENA MATAR TAN LINDOS ANIMALES, O SEREMOS LOS PROXIMOS, COMO RAZA HUMANA ME DEPRIMEN ESTAS PERSONAS
Todas las cacerías que filmo son parte de programas de utilización sostenible diseñados para aumentar la cantidad de vida silvestre en su conjunto. La caza de unos pocos animales seleccionados aporta suficientes fondos para proteger a miles.
@@AfricanSunProductions por que no te ofrece vos como carnada
A veces hay muchos comentarios pero realmente hay que ver la situaciones que se viven en diferentes lugares del mundo mas cuando hay sobre poblacion de animales a si y cuando ellos empiezan a cazar el ganado o incluso niños saludos excelente video y muy buen diaparo todo un cazador profesional que sabe donde dar al animal y evitar el sufrimiento saludos bendiciones los veo desde honduras centro américa
Me alegro mucho de tu comentario. Lo dices perfectamente: necesitas ver la situación tal como es. No hagas suposiciones basadas en emociones, más bien básalas en hechos.
Gracias por mirar y por su apoyo.
@@AfricanSunProductions si a si es amigo bendiciones muy buen video saludos..
@@AfricanSunProductionsme gustaría saber por qué no disparan directamente a la cabeza?? Así el animal no queda ni moribundo.
Un disparo en la cabeza es muy arriesgado, es necesario golpear perfectamente una determinada parte del cerebro para una muerte inmediata. Si se pierde el animal queda herido y vivirá unos días antes de morir a causa de la infección.
Las inyecciones al corazón y los pulmones son mucho más efectivas. Los animales no recorren más de 50 metros y luego mueren. Definitivamente el tiro más humano.
wow good job brother❤❤❤
Thanks Karen, much appreciated!
Mn se eu for viajar e for para este país eu juro que vou atrás desses caras e vou fazer oq eles menos esperarem
Primeiro me responda por que você gostaria de fazer isso. Segundo: Boa sorte...
Covardes , ainda se acham superiores com armas na mão! Deveriam da a mesma chance prós leões! Isso e legalizado? E aceito no UA-cam?
Não é apenas legal, mas também necessário. A caça controlada é a espinha dorsal da conservação aqui em África. O UA-cam sabe e entende isso, por isso o vídeo é permitido.
Shame on you
Hi G. Why do you say so?
i like to watch these guys as i was off duty yesterday i watched the whole day of Monday
I'm happy that I could supply some entertainment to you! What type of work do you do?
Stop hunting
No thank you.
UA-cam should ban this channel
Why? I've actually talked with the executives, and they agree that these controlled hunting programs are beneficial to wildlife as a whole.
😢😡🤮🤮👿👿
Colorful collection, well done. Here is another one 🍑
Who manufactured the rifle for the first hunter? They can design a weapon that drives 100s of grains of lead and copper at supersonic speeds but apparently haven’t been able to crack the problem of brass ejection. In my opinion these dangerous game big bore rifles should throw a case 20 feet.
No matter how much you explain in detail how these lions are helping to provide financial support people will always get upset when they see a lion get shot at close range. Keep up the good work
I actually spoke to the hunter about this. He said he reloads slow on purpose, he keeps the case and write the date and species on it. Personally I will reload asap and be ready!
I agree, the anti's will never understand, or even want to understand.
Crazy hunting 😉
Indeed! Have you done something like this?
@@AfricanSunProductions No, dude Since I reside in a crowded Indian city, I never hunt animals.
That's too bad! I hope someday you can come over to Africa for a good safari.
Thanks for watching!
Bro handling all these comments by himself 😂
You know it! There are lots, many real bad ones get deleted.
@@AfricanSunProductions coward, you are not african
Dougllaz, why would you say that Siphiwe isn't African? Weird comment.
awesome thanks guys 😁
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Amazing video
Thanks! I appreciate your support.
