 thank you very much welcome back everybody to uh amazing sunset here on the southern tip of africa we are starting today's video in reverse such an amazing day uh everyone i'm with we just had a very very blessed day today we started off filming rob's sable hunt i'll link rob's channel down below and then i also got to film another hunt with ryan and then i got to hunt for myself and go after an anyala which is one of the animals that i've i've wanted to go after it's been an incredible experience so far getting to see all the animals but yesterday was such a hard day went on so many different stocks and was unsuccessful i knew that today going trying bow hunting was going to be very tough but got the opportunity to go out and an anyala came within bow range so everyone i would like to tell this story now of my first anyala ever with a bow okay you guys we've got a nyala and he's back in this brush back here he's lying down so i'm gonna put a stalk on him rob is sick right now with his eyes so he's not here but i'm just going with patrick and his son ryan and we're gonna see if we can get on this nyala this is a big big goal of mine to try to get one of these on this trip with my bow we're in a good position let's go see if we can do it just go to anyala a little bit high a little high a little back but he stood for you i can't believe it i can't believe you said that all yeah you're right 10 seconds he was 30 exactly yeah 30 i think we just got a nyala with a bow well we saw him as we were coming in from rob sable hunt i looked at him i was like i think that's a nyala and patrick said let's try to make a stalk on him and they've been elusive this whole time so we drove past him we walked back about 80 yards and he was still there in the same spot he'd bedded down in some brush the wind was a little off but he gave us a chance so i shot him a little high but i think it's gonna be okay i'm shaking that is awesome that is an incredible animal that was top of my list here that and a water buck so thank you all done man awesome awesome i'll just walk back to the truck to grab my pack and my tripod i literally just filmed that with my gopro so much difficulty yesterday and we went on probably six or seven stalks trying to go on a nyala or a water buck i feel very very fortunate right now we're gonna let this guy rest a little bit and then we're gonna go see how the shot is that the vitals on african animals are a little farther forward i was really aiming right for the shoulder and i hit him a little high and a little back but i think i still double lunged him just the just the sheer fact that i hit the nyala good spot 90 sure he's gonna be down i feel amazing right now after knowing how hard it is and i've heard stories of people just coming back for years trying to get a nyala with a bow and we just we just made it happen i feel lucky thank you lord for that opportunity because there was a lot of stocks that we went on and where i was like i don't know if this is even possible let's go uh look for some blood and hopefully nyala is down patrick says these animals are incredible me and patrick have been looking for uh for the blood trail for about 10 minutes now good blood coming out of the woods and then once it gets out of here in the pasture it kind of thins out i've seen that with white tails sometimes they'll you'll get blood in the beginning and they'll tense up everything in their body as they're running then it kind of quits and then once they relax it really starts spewing out again these animals are extremely tough and uh now it's time to call in sephus sephus is uh he's a professional hunter here tracker uh and god he's extremely good at what he does he knows how to look at tracks directions blood everything so we're going to get him to come up here and help us and track down this nyala we're still waiting for sephus to get here but as we're waiting we've actually tracked them there's our buddy ryan and david who's another guide here and we've tracked little bits of blood all the way up that hill about another 50 yards honestly i kind of want to wait for sephus and just film him from what i hear he's just he's amazing i can't even look at tracks and the dirt in the grass see you know different directions going on and obviously track blood extremely well and i want to try to learn some things from him this is very similar to a white tail situation that i've i've seen before sometimes you you nick along and you know the animal's gonna die but uh you just get a little bit of blood or sometimes you heart shoot them and then they they kind of close up and you don't see blood for a long time it's just little spatters and then the deer is just dead big differences uh this is a nyala which is much bigger than a white tail and much more tough but i think with a little good luck and some skill from sephus we're gonna be okay what's that patrick oh my gosh that's a good shot nice job well that buddy hey ryan both ryan's both ryan's we're tracking good job ryan that's patrick's son right there you found the last blood he ran into the woods where they feel the safest oh wow that's the crash we heard for sure then yeah wow yeah i shot him a little high and back but you went down still longed him yeah david did too i took that trail right there we all did we walked right past him we walked all over and he was uh he wasn't far from yeah i'm gonna say he was probably 75 75 yards as a crow flies oh that makes me feel awesome get it with a bow brother yeah man got it done who got it done that's awesome have to eat a sliver i have to eat a sliver i'm fine with that ryan so here's a here's a south african tradition when you kill your first buck i have to be crescent knighted with blood okay ryan go ahead a somber a somber thank you ryan thank you very much i'm honored also uh is it but he's officially a but but that means brother that's like a african's term so i've officially an african but an african but bow kill on a niola david we walked right by all three of us they're nice congratulations thank you very much okay sifas is here to help now luckily we

guys to come help us oh yeah in the salt brother thank you well done the first animal you ever shoot put the blood on your face take a bite of the liver so do i need to do that you don't have to it's not i have the blood on my forehead already i guess i need to try some liver you think i'll get sick or no officially i've gotten i've gotten the blood from the niola niola correct niola they say it pretty quick here this is liver i'm doing this this is tradition right you're not you're not joking with me promise you have done it okay and david he has gone through official uh school here with to be like a expert in the wild he grew up in zimbabwe correct so he knows all the tradition he's not messing around with me here's liver gonna eat it now i'll be honest with you that's not bad it's a little gamey but it's not crazy it's not crazy it's just not your favorite huh david no but hey are you proud of me for doing it yeah good effort it's very nice it's got a bit of an irony taste yeah just threw that knife in the ground like like a ninja wait a second that didn't go well did you give him the liver does it doesn't work for everyone maybe i i don't know maybe i just was in the moment with it i presume it's quite a nice snack though you cook it on the fire yeah i can see a little seared live in the heart yeah absolutely so these are all animals that have been shot in the last couple days would you like some water there's uh rob's got a sable in here there's a uh readbook in here there's niola there's a water buck there is a what am i missing another niola uh another niola and and then an impala none of the meat goes to waste here we're actually having a big barbecue tonight with a lot of the other meat that has been taken here they run a camp here that is specifically for um young men that want to learn more about the outdoors hardcore outdoors i'm talking they they put them out in the african bush in the wild they have to survive five days the course is actually seven months long they run like six miles a day they they do just bushcraft and all sorts of things and david one of the guides here he did that he did it for 10 months if you're in the mood for an incredible life experience and you have seven months to go away and learn new experiences quest africa thank you david for letting me try some of that it's not bad ryan not a fan it was just the texture it was a little crunchy yeah i shouldn't have put it on my tongue i should have just straight chewed it yeah let me try another tiny tiny tiny piece maybe try a different piece like maybe one of these that's not sitting on the stomach because that was the first because it smelled like poo stomach heart a little bit still not so like okay still still uh not hammering down with it liver stomach some lung some lung this is just extra extra meat along the ribs okay so we're also going to check out the salt room this is where they keep keep the animals and uh manelish might it might be in here we'll see what we have here this is everything we've gotten this week so far right trying to literally rack them up and by the end of this this turns into that so there's also meat processing that happens here that's for sale what unless you're all of us so it's cattle plus wild game so the salting process will just help preserve them until we can yeah the salting process tries to be in a place five millimeters into the skin that's why they're skin their faces aren't like that to you it really invests in five millimeters of those sides and then parlor consult absolutely everywhere so all the skins are in here yeah all the skin will be parlor changes is the tag now and part of the territory over the tag on here looks like read back it's all parlor on top of each other and then that gets shifted to the taxidermist to the user uses that and that turns it into a shoulder long full blown operation you got it down pat okay y'all i think we're gonna shut this video down here it's been an incredible day accomplished a a huge goal for the trip i was worried after day one going on so many stocks and the bow hunting just being extremely tough with the wind swirling the wind blowing the bow around and having to make really long shots but just got really blessed today happened to be looking out the window of the truck and seeing a nyala in the brush and every time we've seen them they just seem to disappear you know we'll see them like that try to make a stock and they're just they either wind you or they just hear you they have very very good senses here to kill any of these animals with a bow is is a trophy and i got an old mature bull and i'm so excited about that up next there's there's a few more animals that i have my eye on one being a water buck and that's gonna that's a bigger challenge they're just a lot wittier they're bigger they're just a tougher animal both of those animals have been tough but the water buck if i could get one of those it'll be an extreme trophy with a bow thank you guys for tuning in today hit the like button for getting my first african animal and nyala and then actually experiencing the whole entire thing i have taken the blood on my face i have eaten the liver i am full blown dedicated to bow hunting here thank you guys for tuning in make sure to subscribe we've got a lot more left and i'll see you on the next one
