Trophy hunting plays a vital and irreplaceable role in not only land management but also wildlife conservation. The millions of dollars that hunters bring to these African nations offer powerful incentives to both governments and private land holders to preserve land for wildlife. Properly incentivized by the cash injections brought by hunters every year, local populations are more proactive about managing real threats to wild life such as indiscriminate poaching and agricultural land development. For example, several African species’ conservation status have been improved by hunting programs. A report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) shows: ☻ Black rhino recovered from approximately 1,000 in the 1890s to more than 3,500 today; ☻ Cape buffalo herds were decimated in the early 1900s. There are more than 1 million today; ☻ White rhino population was less than 100 in 1895. There are between 19,600 and 21,000 white rhinos in existence today; ☻ Bontebok population was 126 in 1925. The population is over 8,000 today.
@@gauloiscalifornien Did you know that hunting in Africa puts more money in the local economies than photography trips do? The picture takers pay the travel agent in the originating country & don't spend half the money that hunters do paying the the guides, lodge staff,trackers, transporting the animal,processing the meat & transporting the meat for distribution to the locals who aren't allowed to hunt.
WOW! There can't be very many hunters who can say they harvested a full grown lion in Africa using a bow. Great job Pigman! That's an accomplishment to be proud of for sure.
The bleeding hearts need to realize we as hunters take better care of and love these animals more than they can imagine and by harvesting a number of individuals we help the specials more than letting em be. God gave us reign over the beasts of the land and fowl of the skies for a reason. Keep in doing what we as humans were meant to do brother.
How do you suppose they pay for the protection of the endangered species? Got an extra 100 mil to donate each year? Because that's how much hunters pay every year to hunt in Africa. Without which all of the trackers you see would be the poachers you don't. Remember poachers font follow bag limmits.
Canned lion. There are no free ranging lion hunts in RSA outside of Kruger Natl Park. And before y'all get your panties in a twist I have hunted RSA, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Cameroon. Lion hunting in RSA is very controversial since all the lions hunted there are pen raised. Is it legal? Yes. Is it ethical? Not to me.
Retired Navy....First, thank you for your service. Second I believe he said they had a problem with this lion, but really who knows? If it IS a canned hunt then FUCK THEM!!!
Canned lion lol...that's the funniest explanation of a hunt that I've ever heard. If its true,than yes, it is not the most ethical hunt. If I'm to hunt anything,I would prefer to hunt something that isn't kept in a pen like a domesticated pet and eventually let out to be hunted. An animal that's been domesticated loses it's heightened sense of threat,sense of survival,thus making this hunt,not really a hunt!! Personally,I wouldn't feel proud of this type of hunting,but that's just me.
Great video - Loved it - People will never understand the fat that game management can generate revenue r it can just get shot for no revenue - know which I support to finance game management
In your opinion what is the best Barrel lenth and the best round for African heart hunting in 7mm rem mag I’m asking because iv got a Remington 700 in 7mm and so far aside from my 308 it’s the biggest caliber I own
I think this is a perfect video. Very professional and how lions should be hunted and harvested. Trust me there not killing it just to kill. Would rather a lion being killed in wild than dying in a cage
How out of touch is this guy with the fan base. Affordable? For who? I doubt anybody in the comments section has the money on hand to go to Africa and hunt a full grown male lion.
I don’t understand why you need to hunt lion herbivores do way more damage to the environment than predators that’s why there so many damn Wildebeast because not a lot of ppl hunt them because they aren’t much of a trophy and I hope you are this lion otherwise it wasn’t honorable at all
Live stock in rural Africa is more valuable then some crops. Say the lion has killed a few cattle. Then what, some villages use them like currency. Or the fact it could have hurt people, or roaming to close to a village. Only a matter of time before a person is killed or a child to make matters worse.
@erikcarrillo33 I hope that you don't buy meat at the grocery store b/c that means that you approve killing animals. Just because you pay it done doesn't give you any moral high ground.
When you shot that hog that was charging you in your 100 kills video, now that was a accomplishment. That lion wasn't going to charge. He was scared to death running. Come on man!!
For all those fucking crying babyes that accept a deer getting an arrow to the chest but are like “OMG, why a Lion?!” , first of all, it’s meat, and most of the time that meat goes for the ones that need it, like village people. Second, the conservation game played there is WAY BIGGER than this one animal. The money spent in a hunt like that will supply the farm with many things that they need to keep all the other animals safe and wealth. Guns and ammo for anti-poachers armyes, gas for patrol vehicules and so on... many animals in África are farmed, and a farmer can make good money with them. That ensures that they will never desapear. Ever seem any cow In danger of extintion ? If it wasn’t for the trophy hunting, africa would long time turned into a huge cattle ranch or cornfield. First thing to have good animals is to have good enviroment.
Also what’s the biggest and dangerous game you have ever taken please make a video about it Mentioning the caliber gun and also your preferred calipers for that type of hunting also if you use the bow the grain of the aero the speed of the arrow and also the manufacture about the gun and or the arrow and Bo I am sure people would love to hear what you have to say if you decide to make a video
This was a caged animal it’s whole life til he bought the hunt got there and they turned it loose ! Just like saying pull run it down in jeeps til it’s so tired it doesn’t run anymore and your a great white hunter
Eric Saunders that’s funny look it up I just went to a hunt auction event last November that sold every animal and multiple of them. This lion was raised in a cage with 20 others and this guy bought this exact lion in an auction or told them what he wanted and they turned it out and ran it down. Or that’s right they just happened apon the perfect scenario a huge adult lion with no pride that’s been living great all alone as a rogue that makes more sense. I’m a hunter I’m not saying I’m against it but I hate these guys acting like this hunt was super hard and they just happened to find this great lion after days of scouting
Why people get so fucking triggered? You don’t like it don’t click. Here’s the thing, these places are 3rd world countries, governments can barely take care of people let alone the animals inhabiting their lands. Whether it’s lack of resources or rampant corruption, animals are last on the agenda. And for what it’s worth, the endangered animals ARE NOT on the list of regulated legal hunts. And even the animals that are, you can’t just shoot any animals there are strict restrictions like females can be shot very limited time of the year, the males have to be old bulls (kudu, wildebeest, Cape buffalo etc) lions have to be old males (distinguished by sagging lips, the mane etc) .. the money from these expensive safari game reserve hunts (hopefully this is the corruption part) majority of it goes towards the people. Also THIS IS LAND MANAGEMENT, alternative is illegal poaching! Which is way worse just look at the rhinos.. this is HUMANE regulated land management. Great hunt!
Smith Wesson45 sounds like you don’t know Jack about hunting or the Pigman himself. If you’re not actually going to make an effort to understand. Then please my good sir put that Smith&Wesson to your head and pull the trigger. Hit Google it’s there for you. The information is easy to obtain. If you simply can not do that how the hell you think you’re going to survive covid-19? You’re not so go ahead and put a cap in.
sooo because YOU don't agree with his choice you now don't 'like' him. I may not like somebody's choice, but if it's legal, they deserve respect of their choice. grow the F up. you give antis fuel for the fire.

Well you could just give the money to the African without killing and be a good man admired!😇
I'm only judging you because I'm jealous...
gauloiscalifornien while charity is always great an extra incentive always help bring in cash
@@gauloiscalifornien Did you know that hunting in Africa puts more money in the local economies than photography trips do?

Remind me to never give you knuckles. Holy shit trynna break his hand lmao.
Too bad you couldn't just capture the lion, & bring him to Texas to help with the hogs.
Carol Baskin is coming for you pard! 😂🤣
WOW! There can't be very many hunters who can say they harvested a full grown lion in Africa using a bow. Great job Pigman! That's an accomplishment to be proud of for sure.
Where is the graphic part? I must have missed it.

I was expecting a charge after the first shot!
Lml the lions r raised by humans so he doesn’t feel like their a threat
Hunting is perfectly okay, just don't hunt endangered species, love most of your stuff
How do you suppose they pay for the protection of the endangered species? Got an extra 100 mil to donate each year? Because that's how much hunters pay every year to hunt in Africa. Without which all of the trackers you see would be the poachers you don't. Remember poachers font follow bag limmits.

its not zimbabwe its Rhodesia!!! Rhodesia forever
Yea that sucks same as some white tail hunt s in states breed em for there horns send em out to get harvested no sport

Lion steak? Roar for the Pigman!!
Sweet I loved those Africa Episodes can’t wait to see more.
Awesome man. I wish people would educate themselves to how beneficial hunting really is. Keep it up bud
Never apologize for what you hunt everything taken with a bow is a trophy congrats on a fine hunt 👍🏻
Damn...Didn't realize how big lions were... impressive, congrats
I hope to one day buy his signature series bow.
Now he's with pse it's very likely to happen
That's just awesome.congrats on a beautiful animal.
I don't care what pepole say, but I like lion hunting. Reminds me when those man eating lions where killed back in 1899.
You r a king pigman
Did you ever get that 300lb. Hog with your Gamo .177 Cal. Air rifle...
Man my dream hunt right there awesome.
Congratulations. Awesome lion
Just found your channel SUBBED as fast as i could non stop action
An arrow can be more effective than a large bore rifle. It passed thru and took the ghost with it.
1 day i hope to run an arrow thought one of those beasts myself!! Awesome job brotha!! Congratulations
Awesome hunt!! Congratulations
That was an Awesome episode flippin crazy I'd like to make Lion fajitas I made mountain lion fajitas but African Lion fajitas would be cool
Great video - Loved it - People will never understand the fat that game management can generate revenue r it can just get shot for no revenue - know which I support to finance game management
Amazing hunt Sir! Thats one for the books for sure !
Nice cat great job in keeping after him and of course nice shot.
Dream hunt an only a dream
In your opinion what is the best Barrel lenth and the best round for African heart hunting in 7mm rem mag I’m asking because iv got a Remington 700 in 7mm and so far aside from my 308 it’s the biggest caliber I own
It all depends what you wanting to hunt and in which province i.e. if you're wanting to hunt in South Africa
Can't say I would have moved, until i for sure knew he'd expired.
There’s gonna be alot of mad people and this is gonna go viral. Ehhhh who gives a shit! Great hunt Pigman.
I was thinking the same thing. Not that I care but.....
If he were some pretty blond mid 20’s girl it would have millions of views for sure!
Nice Lion Brian
I think this is a perfect video. Very professional and how lions should be hunted and harvested. Trust me there not killing it just to kill. Would rather a lion being killed in wild than dying in a cage
Great video Pigman congrats
Joe Exotic does not approve.
Way to go pigman keep up the good work.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Great shot !!
@6:53. That is one Big Beast The Lord created right there. My gosh that’s a Big Cat. Imagine having that Beast as your house cat… or “Mansion cat.”
That was awesome. Great job dude
Hell ya
MY MAN!!
LOL! 😂 That lion looked like: “-Who Da Fuck shot me?”
You are longer pigman, you are now "LIONMAN"
Did this guy say affordable? Ha ok, love the show but be real none of us can afford this trip.
I doubt most people can even afford to go to Africa period let alone hunt lions.
This one and the lioness was my all time favourite.
Brian...how to get a Pigman cap?
S S his website has all of his swag.
I'm a lifelong hunter, but I see this as a zoo pet.
ok you go over there to that zoo
A zoo pet that can kill you in a snap
Agreed no reason to kill that cat. I am an avid hunter. Not hating but its stupid
How out of touch is this guy with the fan base. Affordable? For who? I doubt anybody in the comments section has the money on hand to go to Africa and hunt a full grown male lion.
C_A_H22 great show, good content, but I think he is a little off for sure definitely full of himself 😂

Austin Morris I kinda agree with you but I understand the fascination with taking down the king of the big cats with a bow
@erikcarrillo33 I hope that you don't buy meat at the grocery store b/c that means that you approve killing animals. Just because you pay it done doesn't give you any moral high ground.
Atta boy! Nice shooting!
When you shot that hog that was charging you in your 100 kills video, now that was a accomplishment. That lion wasn't going to charge. He was scared to death running.
Come on man!!
Maniac Rider he was a problem lion. You can’t just go killin lions there has to be specific circumstances.
Here kitty kitty kitty.. CHOMP
I don’t care who has the bow, I’M having a .500 Smith & Wesson at the low ready… JUST IN CASE!
Yeah all cool, but it doesn't look like 600lb, I would say maybe 500lb lol
good personality good hunt great shot
Skipit in to 5 mins 20 to see the kill
Greatest accomplishment?
Are you shittin me?
I didnt know there were cactus in Africa,kinda looks like texas
Now ya gotta bag a couple dozen Baboons
Congrats Pigman. We came we saw a bunch of times then we pinched. Roger
how much would this cost me to do with a rifle?
35,000
You and me can be friends. We own some of the same guns.
Awesome hopefully that wasn't a pride male.
These are not impressive "hunts"
Nice job
Got to do what you have to. I’m not mad at all. Anything that’s a nuisance must be dealt with accordingly
Like your stuff but not a fan of those hunts and I was raised in the woods. Promote something else.
Congrats on that great kill pigman don’t listen to the comments you hunt what ever you want to hunt.
To bad we can't bring our lions and leopards back.. hell I can bring a polar bear or a seal back to the US

It’s a trap!

Thanks Retired Navy. What you say is true. Everybody should read his comment. See if the total story changes your opinion.

Idk about this.👍😑
@6:09. “Dropped him like a bad habbit.” Straight cap 🧢 that lion was already laying down.
👌💪🏻
Do you eat lion meat or is it just because you want to kill something just to kill it??
we donated the meat to local villagers
Just I would ask
Droppin' like a bad habit.
LOL "600#" as the one guy pulls it out of the bush by himself.
This was a caged animal it’s whole life til he bought the hunt got there and they turned it loose ! Just like saying pull run it down in jeeps til it’s so tired it doesn’t run anymore and your a great white hunter
You definitely do not know what your talking about

I love your channel but why would you kill a lion?? If you're not gonna eat it. Don't kill it!! IMO

If a lion was stalking your village would you just pet it? It’s a problem lion they don’t let you just kill anything legally .
Smith Wesson45 pigman did right got him a cat. Pigman is the man you punk
If you don't like what pigman is doing then don't watch is stuff. Keep on killing pigman.
Used to like pigman until this. I love big cats. Love the pig hunting, deer and everything else but leave the cats alone!
sooo because YOU don't agree with his choice you now don't 'like' him. I may not like somebody's choice, but if it's legal, they deserve respect of their choice.

It was a nuisance animal
Robert Kulp it was a problem lion, you can’t just go kill lions anymore.
