That is the most beautiful thing to do. My dream was always since I was a little girl is to give to the poor in Africa. That's been the one and only thing in my bucket list. Thank you for caring. I wish more well off people could do the same, but unfortunately very little humans have big hearts. Thank God for people like you. You have made these poor unfortunate ones feel rich and love life. May God Bless us all.
Great video segment and showing how hunters are true conservationists and how those dollars and meat are providing much needed protein to the villages. Kudos to you, Andy and all involved in these efforts.
Again and again, great hunt and Video production ... and the game fire Programs to support local community is the best way for conservancy, great Job Andy
@@ThisisAfricaTVshow honor where credit is due. While having Covid for 3 weeks now, I only watch hunting Videos..meanwhile i am getting somehow creazy to be at home all day long. But Videos like your's help me a lot. And in between, i watch also my Videos, they are great i tell you 😉 but at the moment I an not able to publish a new video 😪
Beautiful people in this village. Beautiful hunters, the soldiers, the drunken one was really bad, remind me of my dead father. A lot of meat for the people who need it, and, a beautiful woman!
I cannot say I approve of leopard and elephant hunts but I know you all are doing it for the good of the communities who depend on the land for their survival. USD is essential for these people, plus the bonus of a few tons of meat means that they do not have to resort to poaching the precious wildlife that need protecting. As a born South African now in Europe, I was so privileged to be in these rural communities and I so appreciate TIA for their work they do in the education and health care for them. God bless Africa.
@@michaelgomez3044 No problem bro. I am all for hunting for conservation and I understand why the leopard and elephant had to be culled. However instead of you putting your 2 cents in, you decided just just throw in a useless comment. You can always state to why you did not like my comment. That would help. :)
Hunting is the most basic human activity. I will always approve of that. But poaching is a grievous crime & can never, ever be tolerated. But the fact remains that plants & animals are being killed off by human development. Farms, lawns, houses, parks, golf courses, hospitals , malls, shopping centers, factories, nightclubs & office buildings all waste the earth’s surface area & destroy the environment & habitat necessary for living plants & animals. That is why plants & animals go extinct. That’s the real problem. How do we get people off the surface & underground? That’s the only pleasant solution.
I'm glad I found your channel. We the hunters do need to give back to our community. I hunt whitetail deer I shot 5 deer a year & I give 3 of them to our food banks to give out thank you for showing that .
But there is nothing wrong with the instinct to kill for pleasure. It’s part of the human personality. And I like to watch when these guys shoot elephants. Hopefully a lot more.
I live with elephants . I have le arned to protect my farm and coexist tjem in peace without killing. Dont yry conning people to make them believe you are protecting wildlife by killing them. A better way is reforestation and helping villagers move to areas of no conflict
Do you feel bad at all….ending the life of such a big and magnificent animal for sport? Especially being that there are not many of them left in the wild? And if the argument is “food for the poor” …… why not kill something that there is an abundance of? Cape buffalo…. Wildebeest…. Zebra…. Then you could still get your rocks off killing something AND “feed the poor”….. without having to kill something that is almost extinct.
The elephant is not a bit more magnificent than any other animal. But they are huge which makes it so fascinating to shoot them. In in some areas they cause problems because there are too many of them. So hunters are invited to finish the surplus elephants. And believe me a hunter feels great after the kill not bad at all.
Question, what is the reason for carrying the guns on their shoulder and holding them by the muzzle? It doesn't appear to be that safe a method or conducive to a quick shot if necessary. Just curiuos. Mark from Minnesota, USA. Thanks for the great videos and all the ethics.
We do both… Sling or over the shoulder. If guiding photographic safaris we use the sling. Most ph will do the over the shoulder. Once your used to it it’s comfortable and easy access. Safety has been raised time and time again. But I’ve slo seen the sling option done un safely. Because we grip the end of the barrel we know where it’s pointing at all times.
Great. Except dont understand what the fun is shooting a leopard in the dark with a thermal scope. Has nothing to do with hunting. Just looks at fair shooting.
Question, how would what you guys do not be interpreted in the wrong way to someone of not the same mentality or understanding?...resulting in the "sport"/ "feeding the poor" taken to another level..
You don’t have to feel the desire to shoot elephants, that’s fine. But these guys have a great desire to hunt elephants, and that’s o.k. too. They always had the wish to kill these beasts so they should have the possibility to fulfill their dreams.
Many people who are intrinsically against hunting, particularly of big, iconic African animals like elephant, don't understand that people and elephant have to co-exist. If elephant keep to their typical diet and stay away from villages and the people's crops, all is well. That said, some elephant do take to raiding crops. Of course, the elephant just sees it as a quick and easy food source. To the local people, it's a devastating loss of crops, food supply and income. It's also a very dangerous situation. Elephants can be very aggressive, 'defending' it's new food source. Conflict is inevitable and it's a near certainty that if the elephant doesn't die, local people will. This is unacceptable and the elephant will have to be killed, either by local game officers or by a hunting client willing to pay a hefty fee for the opportunity. That hefty fee goes to supporting game management and conservation. Local people are employed by the hunting company. The local people get a very large supply of meat which provides necessary protein in a place where protein deficiency is often a problem. (You might wonder how that's possible in an area teeming with wild game but it is a fact.) As long as elephant hunting is well regulated allowing a healthy population to carry on, the money that such hunting provides is a necessary part of game management and conservation. A great deal of that conservation is the preservation of the wild lands needed to sustain wild animals. It's simply an economic reality that today, wild animal populations must provide the necessary funds to sustain that population. Increasing human population means an ever greater push to turn wild land into farm land. Wild land has to pay for itself or it won't stay wild. A limited amount of wild land means a limited population of wild animals or the land gets overgrazed and turns to desert. Game departments staffed with professional wildlife biologists can ensure a healthy, self-sustaining population of game which in turn allows a steady source of income from hunters willing to pay for hunting opportunities. Properly managed big game hunting is necessary for conservation. It's as simple as that.
@@PeterJohnson76 you shouldn’t talk bad about your ancestors. Some of us still like to get food from the woods and water. While others like to pretend that they’re not killing animals and destroying habitat by eating plants.
Many people love to see these videos. It’s great to watch when these huge monsters go down like pole axed when the bullet hits them. Can’t get enough of this stuff!!! And as you can see in the comments many people like these videos.
yea nice hunthin bt you think you can theching these tribal from africa to grow some cow ore seap you now how t not wait a elefant get kill only for meat look oll these africans tey got drinkin alchol tey d not how inportent is a lions are a elefants
It's a cruel game by killing the wild animals who do not harm humans. Only humans encroach in there habitat and do all this to the wild animals who are not able to strike back.
Tell that to all the people that are killed by wild animals every year. You are right about encroachment. But you’re the encroachment. You and all the houses, bars, cars, malls, factories, offices, sporting venues, cinemas m, etc that people just like you require. You are the encroachment. Remember, there used to be lions, elephants, rhinos in Europe too. But you destroyed their habitat & made them go extinct.
Humans have been there living with elephants for thousands of years. These people are not encroaching. They share a home and sometimes that means they die.
