I Paid $10,000 to Hunt Africa’s Most Dangerous Killer!!

foreign move please keep as quiet as possible in this video we'll be hunting one of the most dangerous animals in Africa oh he looks pissed wait they're not backing up in our last video I learned how game reserve hunting works here in South Africa this was so unreasonable for me to take any shot at all but I just did it anyways I was shaking the whole freaking time but today we'll be going after one of Africa's big thoughts meaning one of the five most dangerous animals you can hunt on the planet if we're successful if we're not we could walk away injured or not walk away no no no at all but before the hunt begins it's gorgeous we got a few luck this is a kudu backstrap it's one of the tender parts of the kuruk that you can utilize for anything Kuru is widely distributed in South Africa loved word sweet soft premium quality some say it's similar to venison with a slight bit of gaminess the best way to prepare it by doing as little as possible the long strip of kudu tenderloin is marinated in red wine olive oil lemon juice and garlic before Philip rubs it down with his own dry seasoning cook it on a hot Skillet along with a splash of their local Spirit clip drip [Applause] oh you just start right in the middle that's looking great can I interest you to do this almost certain night and do you use the big piece thank you sir it does feel firm it's not falling apart like some piece of A5 walk you but let's try it out oh wow it kind of reminds me of a filet mignon it has little to no fat really no striations of fat going through it but it still manages to be very soft especially if you just cook it barely enough that's the secret of innocent is that if you overcook it it's wasted you gotta cook it medium medium rare that's where you get the base flavors out of it it's disgusting with flavor oh my God it's beefy but it's venison it's really busy yeah when it comes to hunting I'm a hobbyist I do it about once a year and I do it from a YouTube channel my friend Greg has been hunting basically non-stop since the time he was a child Greg has come all the way here to South Africa so he could hunt down one of these things can you tell us a big five well lime elephant Rhino leopard and buffalo originally coined by European hunters in the 19th century the big five referred referred to endangerous animals to hunt the Cape buffalo the most dangerous thing you could hunt here that's right what kind of danger are we talking about if you go from one to ten I would say we're talking eight nine they're unpredictable on a hunt just you need something small to happen towards way you become the one the victim the Cape buffalo or Black Death are the deadliest animals in Africa responsible for killing up to 200 people a year some people might be thinking that this is a lot of risk a lot of danger for nothing except that there's a good cause behind all of this which is that all the meat from this Buffalo is going to be donated to a nearby Village and that's a village where you live yeah everyone what is your biggest concern when hunting the buffalo [Music] it's on your life so I told my wife there was nothing to worry about so there's nothing to worry about right no look right now we're heading to a completely different place than where I did my zebra hunt it seems the first step is to try to find some Buffalo tracks and then track the Buffalo from there so I brought you out here obviously because you love hunting we both grew up in the same town I don't love hunting I don't hate it I just don't do it much it's not something that drives me it's not a passion why do you like hunting that's a passion that I've had forever always been something that's called to me and super fulfilling as far as just being out in nature and doing all that stuff so yeah oh sure my buddy Greg has hunted the meanest beasts in Minnesota those just happened to be deer and turkey today it's a whole new ball game luckily we're not alone Hendrick and another backup professional Hunter Brutus are here to guide us through what we hope will be a safe hunt you just went up to the top of the peak you went to a different Peak what'd you see we saw to Cape buffalo and there are ways off down to the bottom of the valley looks like they're down there for water but we got eyes on them well I think what we're gonna do now is we're gonna circle around and just keep right with the wind because it is important so right now the wind is blowing from us to them do they yeah Greg's wearing ax body spray right now yeah Old Spice and that was going to Spook more than just buffalos it's also going to Spook single women [Music] foreign no sudden movements and please keep as quiet as possible we don't want to alert them that they know where we are and if you move try and move slowly with our plan in action Avril our tracker takes the lead that's right Avril is koisa and the koisan historically are known to be among the best trackers in the world at one point in time their survival depended on it Avril now uses these Generations old tracking skills to assist modern day Hunters like us as a hunter if you look up Kate buffalo hunting gone wrong you'll lose a serious amount of confidence thousand pounds with short legs a massive head and heavy horns if wounded they become aggressive willing to destroy anyone in their path one attacks we'll have just moments to react right now the wind's not perfect the Buffalo our little skinny nowhere here but they don't know what we are so we're gonna wait it out and maybe get a constantly Direction because right now it's kind of swirling around so we don't wait for our trip so for now it's sit wait um biggest thing right now is that you could shoot him but you want to have a certain shot it has to be 100 certain you're gonna put it down right now we're gonna sneak at forward if we can the tracker ever is moving let's see what he does you don't want to injure the Buffalo you want to put it down quick even with a high powered rifle being close and accurate is a must I'm ready when you are the one that's not moving oh he's not moving he's standing there just wait for an opening give him another one just wait for opening there what here we go down yep down as soon as that first shot went off all the Buffalo took off they spread out but now they're slowly coming back possibly for Revenge we're gonna wait it out here for a little while and see if it's safe to go in what if those Buffalo are filming a food travel show over there and they're gonna eat you oh is that that's possible I think they eat grass how do you feel I feel good yeah yeah that was epic yeah anything like you expected honestly I came in with no expectations I just wanted to let the whole hunt happen you didn't think we'd get closer I thought we'd be closer it felt closer it felt close enough hi hi right now we can see the down buffalo but all the live Buffalo about 20 meters behind it staring at us all right so we're not done yet oh he looks pissed wait they are not backing up okay here they go oh they're turning around now [Music] that is awesome holy cow it is a beautiful giant Beast right well done yeah he made a perfect shot the first one and it's a really old Buffalo bull you can see all the character on his own he's got a real nice hard boss how many kilograms would you say this is between 600 and 700 just the animal itself over a thousand pounds yeah gee bro this is not the end of this experience it's just a halfway point all of this being is going to be donated Avril from here we're taking this to your village okay nice back at the lodge the skin is removed the organs are separated the meat is sectioned and hanged overnight [Music] about 30 minutes outside willowmore you'll find Fullerton Village a humble community of about 60. right now we're setting up for today's big Feast the fire is lit vegetables and other ingredients are being prepared all that's missing is the protein [Music] [Applause] [Music] most of the meat will be stored in a local freezer and saved for future use the rest will be chopped sectioned and made into several dishes when cooking mounds of meat for a massive crowd it never fails to cut it down into bite-sized pieces and toss it into a giant cauldron to braise for hours you are our head chef today right okay yeah thank you yeah no thank you avril's white Mama polka is Banning your station ready to turn these raw ingredients into a refined vessel of flavor you have Buffalo Cookie in here what are you making I'm making is a buffalo stew with potatoes carrots my onion is in my spices salt pepper garlic and cuminum then the buffalo meat and a lot of it ribs bones legs loins all of it goes in have you cooked Buffalo before yes how long should this cook here two to three hours I understand the people here aren't eating buffalo very often maybe never but what kind of meat do you usually eat people in this area sheep pork chicken and sausage we have a lot of cooking to do today soon when everything is finished a lot of people will join together we'll have some drinks and we're going to have plenty of Buffalo oh hey wow a little a little Community Applause [Music] the Buffalo like meat then flavor with salt and their homemade seasoning blend place it on the grill over a bed of charcoal cooking our final meal will take hours but nearly every culture I've visited in Africa from Egypt to well here has a tradition of starting off with the ovals in this case the Cape buffalo liver I love it to turn like black the liver is sliced into big strips season with salt pepper and their homemade blend then it's dredged in flour before it's shallow fried in hot oil serve with Chef polka's homemade salsa made by boiling onions green chilies and tomato sauce [Music] I like that I'm sure but it's got a good chill certainly Livery got a little bit of gaminess to it well intense I need a little personality I think that's why people here like to dress it up yeah I'm gonna give it a try looks like salsa kind of tastes like salsa a little bit you think so I do and give some nice acid and then it's a bit salty and a bit sweet but it's really fresh too that's exactly what that liver was missing Avril what do you think very good Avril how old are you pumpkin 57 you have great hair did you also get a hair transplant no no that's a gift from God my friend this Village used to be avril's home but for years now he and polka lived on Phillips game reserve on YouTube worked together 22 years were you a Tracker before you met Philip yes my understanding is that historically the koisan people were known for tracking animals so how far back does that go long before the first settlers arrived on South Africa's Shores groups of koisan were spread out sparsely across the land they were hunter-gatherers with their own language and culture they possessed remarkable skill and insight into wild animals and the environments they inhabited so how did you learn about tracking where did you learn that from my father what kind of animals were they tracking 50 years ago 100 years ago interesting is if you look at the poison paintings they still today in the mountains you find that Ilan was probably one of their main food sources because that's most seen on the um and games but you know so in a time before farming or herding the koisan possessed skills essential for survival what is modern ways of life creep into every corner of the Earth the skill of animal tracking is becoming obsolete fading with each new generation what are most of the people out here doing like for work most of them are Farm Workers when you say Farm Workers they're working at The Game Preserve Farms where the kudu and the Springbok and stuff like that are yeah what do you think are the biggest challenges for the community out here the availability of water the water and algae it's a very small gesture but I do hope that the meat we brought here today can help out in some small way at least for some families they don't have to worry about a couple of meals and then they can focus on using those resources to buy water or whatever else they need the meal is almost finished that Stu has been stewing for a good three four five hours but in the meantime we have an appetizer Greg you probably can't tell but right here I have a p [Laughter] what did you order you are a penis joining us avril's brother Winery he's lived in this Village his whole life across from him Toki a community representative who serves people in and around this area have you ever had Buffalo tongue it's my first time what about you Buffalo um well let's try it out boiled Buffalo tongue with a side of onion and carrot once it Cooks through slice and remove the outer tongue shell before serving [Music] it's got some bite to it but I like that it's raised a bit to get a bit soft it could be brace even more it actually does a lot like beef tongue that's pretty good I hope you like the tongue oh I'm still eating First Taste of Buffalo not bad what do you usually eat what kind of proteins are you usually eating in this area mostly it's Spring ball kudu what do you get kudu are you just going to the store to buy kudu yeah which is wild to me that here all these game animals are just like comedy yeah there's eat them at home no big deal you like kudu not anymore now you eat buffalo tongue word is out that a feast is brewing and everybody is invited the crowd begins to grow as this meal service nears its Crescendo the roasted meat thoroughly cooked through is taken off the grill and sliced still full of tender delicious beef nearing its final form Mama polka adds carrots potatoes and more water to the pot now for some steamy carbs dough is made from wheat flour it's portioned into smaller bits than each dough ball is placed on top of the stew where it'll Steam foreign today a buffalo's life was traded for a village full of satisfied stomachs and happy faces some graciously provided resources their time or skills While others graciously accepted the gesture together at least for a short time a community is able to put their challenges out of mind and enjoy the moment I believe it was a big success first of all it all started with you and the hunt yeah right now everybody's gotten their food they're eating it's finally time for us to take a bite they cooked the Buffalo a few different ways here they've still this meat forever it looks delicious yeah it looks really good I love how they boiled almost like bread dumplings on top of the stew and then we have some of the grilled meat right here I think we should start with this I gotta say when I looked at this mean earlier it was like charred black now it is not uncommon when you have meat in Africa the people here will cook it well but after they've cut it open it looks a little bit more juicy and succulent than I expected yep there's definitely some pink still left in it so let's try it out do that [Music] buffalo meat your first Chase ever that's good it's good at first when I bit it I thought it was gonna be more earthy than I like but it wasn't it's super good it's definitely a bit tough I think in the USA we really value really soft soft tender meat and I think we just assumed then everybody would want their meat to be that way but some places in Africa even in Vietnam they appreciate something they have to kind of chew through something with some real like texture to it I can appreciate both I personally don't mind a chew though it tastes like beef it's pretty darn beefy I think we have to eat a little more to find out this is the stewed version right here we've got carrots we've got potatoes mmm oh the carrots are delicious oh this is super tender you can see the fibers breaking apart almost sticky though tendons and fat have become almost gummy really simple straightforward spices salt and pepper garlic and some other magic she put in there too my favorite part is I didn't know what to expect I didn't know how many people would show up how many people would want to be part of this but when they were dishing out the meat I thought we would have too much meat they gave every person here like two pounds of meat yeah everyone was going Thanksgiving style yes pretty soon everyone's gonna be falling asleep right here this is the bread this is not supposed to be eaten alone though right here we have some marrow the buffalo's thigh bone now chopped up seasoned with salt and pepper and brought to a boil until it's cooked through what I've discovered with marrow is it's not always the more the better it's like you have to get the appropriate ratio cheers [Music] that's the thing that's good that's super good I like this bread it's super super doughy really soft and like sticks to your teeth with that marrow it's like satisfying it's kind of like when you have a piece of bread with too much butter on it Ah that's kind of what it's doing it's super rich and super buttery it's probably my favorite thing so far what's amazing is the only time I really see marrow is at high-end restaurants but I'm told that out here sometimes these folks the only stuff they can get their hands on is animal bones right and so they're boiling just the bones and eating this really rich delicious food coincidentally yeah it's freaking delicious and it's all the trend now too like with bone brats and Marrow and people are chasing this oh it's because everyone's trying to go back to their roots and this is the roots welcome to Africa right it's your first time in Africa right you've got a very like tiny slice of Africa in the even of South Africa but what are your general thoughts so far it's pretty big as far as like the mountain ranges like yes I've been around mountain ranges but these are imposing I know it's only been three days but it feels very familiar anything from the roads to the people and communicating feels closer to home than I expected how would you compare hunting in the USA versus hunting here it's definitely different my absolute passion when I'm hunting in the United States comes from the cat and mouse game with the animal and when you come to a place like Africa you rely on a guide to really figure out the land figure out the Quarry figure out the animal so a lot of that cat and mouse game is just not there because that's somebody else is doing that for you they're locating animals they're doing the scouting when it comes down to it in those last seconds the Final Approach it's the same thing yeah and watching people enjoy all this awesome protein makes it all come together and there is purpose there is meaning everybody's so stoked everyone's full everyone jammed at least one to two pounds of meat in their stomach I'm pumped I'm happy and uh I'm glad we can make it happen together my man boom I was gonna do a pound but let's do this should we do a pound yeah boom no that yeah uh hug stand up hug you smell good best ever Food review show is a small team of independent creators and everything we do here works because of you
