This.....this is hunting. An almost transcendental means of acquiring animal protein. The final act in and of itself is completely in tune with the Natural World and the ultimate in respect and honor both of and for it. This is how our distant ancestors survived. We have unfortunately lost this connection to Life.......... I would like to see Billy Ray Joe Bob Sue Redneck American with his 90lb. beer belly, and without his .30-06 and scope attempt this. Not a chance.
The guys filming this on the ground must have had ATV's. There is no other way they could have kept up. Great work BBC!
I know some of you might be vegetarians or vegans, but face it peeps, our dentition is that of an omnivore. Even our closest relative the chimpanzee is an omnivore. I absolutely love animals and don't want them to suffer either. Subsequently I at least won't eat veal or buy fur....but this video is part of the Circle of Life. We are at the top of the food chain afterall. And to deny that simple truth is to indeed deny part of that which ultimately makes us human.

well, it's called a kudu, the body shape is to conserve energy, and by the end of the race it would have lost a significant amount of bodily weight from the heat and exertion. it also looks like it has a fair amount of muscle mass, so it probably was dragged down towards the end by breakdown of muscle fiber from the sheer amount of work done during the course of the hunt.

This is really amazing, I wouldn't mind going on a hunt like this, I bet you wouldn't feel much like a modern man during one.
I'm blown away.
These ppl show respect in the pride of everything. At 6:45 the man shows pride and worthiness in his kill. Good Video. Wow.
