More content like this needs to be produced so that the antis can see and hear the over all benefits that hunting provides to conservation. On the flip side there needs to be less social media posts with hunters and trophies that just add fuel to the fire for those that choose not to look at all the facts.

What facts are you talking about?

The other very important thing I observed is how you relate with your trackers, you treated them as part of the team. Keep it up, you even acknowledge their contribution at the end. That is really sustainable conservation.

One of the outstanding things in this video is the music. Not crazy African music, just perfect. More importantly the fact that hunting is conservation. One day Mr. Valerio, one day in God's willing I will hunt in Zambia, hopefully with you. Thanks to everyone help in this video

This is so cool. I’m an animal lover, but also a meat eater and I will never apologize for that. We are animals ourselves with the blessing of sentient intelligence and self awareness but that doesn’t not negate our need to be an animal and hunt.

African areas that are not managed correctly get hammered by poachers. Poachers will trap, shoot and kill any animal regardless of sex or age (just for the meat). This was the case at Sengwe GMA, but not anymore! Hard work and dedication by Valerio and his team changed that!! Watch the full production for a better understanding of how and why hunting is important to wildlife management and conservation... A. Jack

I found it strange that someone says they are still working on the marksmanship when attempting to hunt buffalo - a number of the shots were poor - nicely shot Gil though and an amazing place

I was fortunate to hunt the Luangua Valley a few years ago. I got 2 buff and 2 hippo - all 1-shot kills (I got 1 hippo as it was on the run at 120yds by breaking its cervical vertebrae). The secret to success is: 1) Use a good quality projectile: this will greatly decide upon whether you take a trophy home or to wave it good-bye as it disappears into the sunset! NOTHING is worse than the culmination of all your efforts - planning, expense, training, getting there, hunting for days etc - is to be let down in the end by the projectile!! (I swear by Woodleigh 500gr RNSN and FMJs in my 458 Win Mag.) 2) KNOW the POI of your ammunition at different ranges. I reload a set load for my 458: this ensures group consistency = accuracy. 3) With point 2, you should then practise until you can shoot ACCURATELY out to reasonable distances. 4) The preceding culminates in KNOWING your rifle: to handle it competently and confidently. 5) Know the anatomy (in 3D) and anatomical landmarks (on the hide) of your intended game to place the projectile exactly where you want it. (From the angle presented to you, visualise the heart and then pretend using a knitting needle to hit it from your position. Where the "needle" intersects the skin is precisely where you want your projectile to enter). 6) Lastly, and most importantly, you should master all this BEFORE that first step onto African soil. Enjoy your hunt, and best of luck to you!! 👍

What a beautiful place , very professional, excellent footage. Great explanation also.

That first shot on the Impala was Not a good shot and the PH should not have congratulated the client on a good shot, its moments like these that give the bunny huggers amo.

What a great content I have watched such long duration content after a year and I didn't skipped it as each and every moment is worth watching as an wildlife photographer.

Some years ago, There were a big fuzz about white westerners hunting in africa. I got into a discussion with a friend of me that refused to believe that it was done professionally with preservation in mind. She believed it was eradication. She could not believe that people paid extreme amount of money to do this and refused to believe that african poachers in search of money or meat existed. You can never teach an ideolog (idiot) anything different than what they have made their mind to.

You don’t sorta work on your marksmanship when you’re hunting! You better know your gun and your abilities or DONT PULL THE TRIGGER!!! It’s not fair to the game or the PH. It leaves you with a wounded animal and puts the PHs life in jeopardy. NO EXCUSES!!!!

This man Paul really needs to work on his shooting skills. He got extremely lucky to have hit the spine on the wildebeest. You shouldn't take potshots on moving animals. He was millimeters away from blowing the upper jaw of the younger croc in front of his target off, leading to a lot of suffering. He should not have taken that shot when he did, even though he got the older croc. I became angry when he described wounding a croc as "the most expensive splash you ever hear". Competent, clean, ethical. Just because he has money and can afford these trips, doesn't mean he should. Then he blew the leg off the impala. If you're going to go in and take shots, you need to be competent, which emperical evidence suggests he is not. The buffalo endured a poor end because of poor shooting and fat Paul's responce while sitting on the back of the vehicle while others worked for him was "Oh well!". As I've watched, my distain for this man has grown. Not the fact that he is hunting at all, it is his marksmanship and his attitude. I have a small amount of hope that he watches this video and reads the comments, and rethinks his way of hunting. I'm pleased to see others commenting similarly here. This is no critique on the hunting taking place. It is a critique on him, and perhaps the PH for not ensuring his clients are able to effectively and ethically take animals.

The main thing is you get your money's worth when you go there And span tens of thousands of dollars for ahmed.

I heard your comments about fenced areas and I have to disagree. The reason they fence is to allow hunting year-round. If low fence you have a season, if high fence you own the animals. A 50 to 100 square mile fenced area you do not pen them to a fence. You seldom see the fence. I have been in no fence or low fence in the Okavango and Kalahari and found it way easier to get close to animals than in fenced areas. I would say it is easier to take animals in a no fence area than a fenced area. I have made 14 trips to Africa my longest was over five months. So not just a one trip novice. I do not even bring the animals back I do not need to show them off. The hunt is in the moment not a trophy on the wall or a video. I do not hunt dangerous game they are much easier than the plains game. They do not run at firsts site they usually come closer. Not trying to deceive anybody this is my experience.

Nice video . Paul
