Bow Hunting FERAL GOATS on an ISLAND!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
  • This week we're back with another catch and cook video from the Caribbean. We're hiking into a remote part of the island to do a little traditional bow hunting for feral goats. Feral goats can cause a lot of damage to the ecosystem and Matt (Alone Season 8) talks about how the landscape has changed since the goats moved in. But as destructive as they are, they're loads of fun to bow hunt and they taste great too. After the goat hunt, we head to the clear waters and grass beds just off the beach to snorkel and dive for conch. These large sea snails inhabit warm waters around the globe and are a tasty addition to any surf and turf meal. It takes a little practice to spot conchs on the sea floor because they're camouflaged and look much like the grass and sand that surrounds them. After we hunt, gather, and forage all the fixings, we head back to Matt's place to whip up some sautéed conch and wild goat tacos!
    Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow making, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

    Spined him and quick follow up. Excellent job. Spining an animal is one of the toughest things a hunter ever has to address. I've done it and anyone who hunts for any length of time will eventually have it happen to them. Thank you for being such a great hunter and a great example for all other hunters

      It is one of the toughest things. But seems like it can happen so easily. Especially with close up shots with a fast trad bow

    I know little to nothing about hunting. But when I see someone taking an animal and worrying whether it was clean and rushing to end the suffering as quickly and painless as possible is it something to be respected.

    Once I shot a billy that retreated to an ocean cliff and bedded in a cave 50 feet above water. I got an angle to do a follow up shot with my recurve because I didn't want to get in a cave with him alive in fear of being kicked out. After which me and a friend had to take a thin goat trail to the cave, where I climbed in and deboned the whole billy in a very claustrophobic scenerio. The best part was the boat of 30 some tourists under us who watched as they swam. Don't underestimate goats, they like some steep country. Congrats on the Ibex clay.

    I was there years ago. Left dreaming about a black powder hunt with an old flint lock, and 1700s clothing, for goats. There were plenty of them. Deer too. Guy should setup a hunting service there, with a beach cookout of curried goat afterwards. I would go for it!

Been a fan of the alone series since it’s beginning, and it is great to see Matt again. If you ever want to come to NewBrunswick, Canada for some episodes. I will be honoured to guide you on some catch and cooks . Stripped bass , black bear and diving for scallops is our spring season . There is bounty to be had in every season though. Throwing that out there . You and your family are living the dream and it’s a joy to watch . Thanks buddy

My bow is very much near 'center shot' and I can't put any more weight in the front. Do you think it's gonna be enough? Or should I just go for aluminum arrows?
