DANGEROUS BIG GAME HUNTING doesnt get more dangerous than a giant Free ranging tanzinia 8,000 lb hippo that was out for blood. This hippo was the most aggressive african animal we've ever seen charging us 5 times! but sealing the deal with a bow on such a giant animal is truly a bucket list hunt of mine, tho extremely dangerous hunt, no one was injured, Thank God.

This is how you document a hunt. Better than big budget television program.
😂 what you do here Javier you like hunting ?
This is possibly the most stunning hunting video I have ever seen. The way it was filmed was so authentic I couldn't stop watching. I never watch videos this long, but I could not stop. The hunter, the guide, and the tracker were all just excellent!
Bro the whispering when you guys first found the male y'all were gonna hunt was straight ASMR
Dude! You got a “hippopotamus for Christmas”!
Haha!
GHAHAAGKAKAKKAAKHAHAHAHAFGHAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAAAHHAH
@@BowmarBowhunting elmos jealous
😂
Bro. This made my year omg
I’m so grateful you take the camera with you! I’ve never wanted to hunt Africa but it sure is exciting watching you do it. Keep the videos coming please.
Amazing video and what a hunt! I love your ethical moto! I'm not into hunting, but certainly can appreciate the way you approach it all with a bow and arrows! Very satisfying to watch. I couldn't take my eyes off right to the end! I really like the way that 100% of the animal will be consumed. Congrats on such a magnificient achievement!
I really thought that this hunt wasn't going to go well, a bow going through that tough hide ..congratulations..those guides are awesome, excellent spotters, I paused the video trying to see what they see 😂
This is probably one of the most best hunting videos I've ever seen. It truly shows with enough patience and determination anything can be accomplished. Congratulations on this massive hunt!
That means a lot man thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment on our KZhead videos!
I one hundred percent agree
Most bestest**
@@chrisbrink7167 it cost near to nothing to go outside in your backyard or family members to hunt stuff. Unless you live in the city, but I doubt city slickers watch hunting videos. Or at least majority of them don’t
@Paul Blart don't you have a mall to patrol lmao 😂 🤣
Great job dude the editing and the hunt was awesome, glad you got it done.
Now that was intense Josh and even though I just now on 3/26 /2023 that l got to kick back from my busy week of metal roofing and tree removal in Ohio I enjoyed every second of it on this beautiful Sunday evening . Thanks for taking us along.
Bro this is gotta be one of the most exiting videos I’ve ever watched, amazing honestly, new sub.
So intense!! Way to keep it together, stay persistent and finish it up. Congratulations Josh!! Thanks for sharing…
As amazing as this entire video is the very end where Mr Lauren is explaining everything is the best part!!! Absolutely wonderful thank you for including that. It's mind blowing to think that hippo is 40 years old!!! He's been in that forest and water the entire time I've been alive!! Hard to wrap your mind around that. One of the best hunting vids ever, no question. Great job homie🤟💪
I just stumbled up a channel that I’ll be watching the next week or so, thank you guys for entertaining 🤘🏼
Officially my favorite hunter. Everything about this video was fantastic.
I honestly can’t believe I watched the whole 1:30 hour video but I just couldn’t look away. I was so intrigued with everything going on and my adrenaline was just going the entire time. Congratulations and thank you for producing a masterpiece hunt for us to watch. I likes and subscribes to your channel, this is amazing!!!
that is awesome Michael thank you so much for watching the whole video, viewers like you are SO appreciated! thank you!
How much did he pay to you? 🤨
@@tightbootyhole707relax you bot
Rarely do I say WOW to a hunting video but this was probably the best one I have watched on the Tube. Fantastic job with everyone involved! This channel really sits in the top tier in hunting categories.
When I hear be all you can be I think of you. Your passion just gives a lot of want to be the best at everything you do feeling. The passion, knowledge, drive, and never giving up is out of this world. Can’t get enough of ur hints and videos. Thank you.
I put this on almost every night before I go to sleep and mostly before the music is done I'm asleep. Love this video
This is pure gold. Thanks for the video.
i love hunting and i just found your channel bc the croc video but damn bro.... having to hit something 2x and track it dying ALL DAY is pretty wild bro. maybe an arrow isnt the ethical move for something as large and tanky as a hippo? edit: i posted this right before the apology btw (2 days 3X) oooooooof
I love it because every hunter knows that feeling it happens to anyone! Keeps me hunting!
Stay in your own country to hunt. I might accidentally shoot a white "person" thinking they're a hairless chimp.
I’m about to go bow hunting for the first time with my dad:) gonna be great
Thank you for explaining the ethical effort that is needed and that you take to hunting. I respect you.
Ethical??? This is heinous. An abominable crime.
@@BIBECHYOUTUification why because you don’t agree with it ?
To be fair, ethically we could wipe out all these animals tomorrow. They are already close to extinction, only left as token for our enjoyment
@@BIBECHYOUTUification he payed thousands of dollars that is gonna go to conservation to help thousands more would you rather be ripped apart from lions or be shot by a arrow?
@@BIBECHYOUTUification it’s what humans used to do. It’s not cruel it’s nature
When that guy ran out of the bushes at around 12:30 my heart fell out of my chest I thought they were all dead lol
SAME BRO😂😂😂
One of the world's most dangerous creatures very impressive Josh, happy for you except the almost dying part lol
Lol thanks buddy!
It’s only dangerous when idiots like this guy purposefully go after them. It is a passive animal until people approach them.
@@patrickdean4853hurr durr human bad
I appreciate the passion you have for sharing this hunt with all of us. You did not boast about the camp site, you did not talk about gear, arrows or bow, you just wanted to share this absolute, adrenalin filled hunt with your viewers; just as you wished when you were young. What an amazing experience
Wow. Amazing. Loved watching this. Me being a hunter in South Africa have not come close to what you experienced. Great work.
Great video. The guide looks first class. I'd love to have heard more from him. I bet he has some stories to tell.
I never actually realised how massive hippos really are until seeing this video. Absolutely insane
Same but this one and all of them there specifically they get massive like that beast
Oh man! That follow up shot under that kind of pressure, with such a massive animal! Magnificent absolute veteran move
This is a great video with super production quality. I really liked how it just got right into it rather than some 15 minute talking intro.
I know how the adrenal gets on deer and turkey. I can't imagine how amped up you were. Congratulations
Wow awesome hunt bud God was watching out for you guys love your channel merry Christmas God bless
I keep coming back and rewatching this hunt
As someone who at this time in my life doesn't believe I will be able to do an African hunt. I sincerely appreciate this, absolutely awesome that you don't cut out any part of your story and show it for what it is. Thank you
If you could do an anatomy video of that beast, it would be awesome. Congratulations on your trophy. I would've been spooked to be in that water though!! Nice job tracking him down and getting it done! Can't wait for more videos from Africa! Take care and shoot straight. Merry Christmas to all of you. -Love from NH
I remember watching your cape buff hunt and the way you edit your content just makes the watcher feel like they are there with you. This was next level from feeling this disappointment after your first shot to finally getting him. Thank you for this hunting video mate.
I first thought this was just a trophy hunt…so glad you respectfully hunted, and are going to not only eat the meat yourself but also are helping feed the staff and locals ❤️
Who says locals don't have food. White saviour mentality..
@@ndungugitahi1804 bro 😂
@@ndungugitahi1804 Gottem
@@ndungugitahi1804 they do have food but they are also allotted so many tags/year that they can fill themselves, or let some rich white guy harvest, pay them all a ridiculous fee, and they still keep 99% of the meat.
This was amazing hunt to watch, my adrealine was flowing the hole time! Thank you so much for the best hunting content here!
The fair chase, the respect for this magnificent animal, and the whole animal being used. This is the epitome of what hunting should always be. Very well done, and congratulations.
What you mean fair chase?
@@Crazycricket988 fair chase as in not handicapping the animal by breeding them to be hunted or comfortable around humans if that makes sense. Just a man with a bow and a wild hippo. Not some rich big wig CEO with the biggest gun possible
@@indianumberonecountry no such thing as fair chase in hunting. We are humans. If anything it’s better to hunt bred animals and not wild. We are quite literally in a 6th mass extension from “fair chase” on wild game.
@@gageboykin2866 I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but if you read even a chapter of the popular book that brought press to the sixth mass extinction event then you would likely know that amphibians are being lost the most quickly and due to chemical pollution and not hunting. You'd also probably know the difference between the word extinction and extension. If you want to save the world, go breed rare frogs and sue chemical companies. You'll also have to hunt the bull frog across about half the world.
I love how you are grateful to just see the animal you are hunting not every hunter takes the sights they see into count you are a amazing hunter and teacher keep up the good work
BULLSHIT
Yes
Great follow ups josh! Things happen, but you guys stuck with it, that 2nd shot was incredible. I've always been so impressed by the trackers! Those guys are on another level.
The PH is just as crazy as the hunter. Nice one guys!
That was an amazing video!!! And hunt of a lifetime, those trackers are crazy skilled! I watched every second , thank you for being the one to bring the camera along!!
For him it’s a normal hunt. You’re just broke.
your so sad man@@420BLUNTLEY
Wow! Just wow! What a hunting video Josh. You are the man!! I can't imagine doing that. I wouldn't be able to make that shot either. But watching this video doesn't give it justice im sure. Congrats
I usually never watch a video on other content for an hour but I could watch this for hours
What an amazing shot! That was precise and beautiful!
WOW ! Epic video ! 🔥🔥 Congrats Josh on a Huge trophy ! 🙌🏻 Greetings from Mel Kleinhans Safaris, South Africa.🐾
“This isn’t a hippo that eats watermelons” I’m dying at 4AM 😂
At what minute that was
That music making a walk thru the desert look epic 😂
All be Soo scared to be in front of that beast, super video Hermano 🙏🙌 good think you're boys are safe 👌🤟💛
Wow, a full length video. Absolutely INCREDIBLE!
By a long way. The best dangerous game bowhunt, if not any hunt, on KZhead. Well done to everyone involved!
i have watched 100’s or maybe 1000’s of hunting videos……..this really is a great one.
this is straight up awesome cool asf bro good sghit, those guys who guide you are goats.
What an amazing amazing adventure Josh. I commend u fully for hunting that old worrier the way u did and give him his full advantage and a fair chase. Unlike other guys…..Keith Warren….. that go over there or to Africa and kill these animals when they are at their disadvantage and in the middle of a big body of water….shooting them with a damn .50 cal rifle……u give him all the chance in the world and give him a better death than he would have by nature. Such an awesome accomplishment and reward for a bowhunter of your caliber. Your are hands down one of the best and one of my favorites to watch. CONGRATULATIONS my man!!!!!! And God bless you for dispersing and donating the meat to all the folks who im sure greatly appreciated it.
Incredible video 😊👍🏻 Hippos definitely deserve to be in the Big 5 cause they are dangerous and Aggressive and they definitely deserve a lot of respect lol
That was an amazing experience. Thank you.
Undeniable skill! An outstanding shot!
Great video, I was so immersed in the action I didn't even realize nearly an hour and half went by!
I watch all of your videos . I don't usually care for commenting at the end . But WOW my heart was racing at times I can't imagine how yall felt. Awesome video !
What a rush!👏🏾🤠💪🏿 I always wanted some hippopotamus boots.😏🤠🤓😝
This is an amazing experience, your videos are amazing!!!!!
Amazing video. The hunt, the people, the views and action scenes. Literally one of the best KZhead videos I’ve ever watched. Great job mr. Bowmar
Clearly you haven’t watched much KZhead lmaoo
So what about the one with the arrow in it’s side ? Slow death from infection?
Incredible Hunt! I'd love to hear what the people do with the animal and I especially want to know and see how you display the mount. What kind of taxidermy will you do on him?
Holy fuk. I think I said that to myself about 10 times watching that. That was crazy man I've seen 3 or 4 of your videos and just a new sub and just found this This is waaay better that any National geographic Ive ever seen I don't think epic quite cuts that. I luv'd everything about it I've seen 2x now Great camera work and music. That guide was awesome. Great crew That made me feel like I was right there with you. When you took that first shot and it hit a little low. We felt your pain. You could've edited that out... but ya didn't. Powerful moment Thank u for sharing that That 2nd shot was a beauty. I loved how you took your time and leaned into him. You stuck that sweet spot. That was definately a holy fuk moment for me I was wishing you could've put one in there with that longbow. It's cool That compound looks pretty nice too I liked that you let the guide talk about hippo at the end I think you took us to school with you on this whole thing. Awesome production! Great job on the narrating Thank you Josh Well done!
You guys are insanely brave for hunting something such as a hippo congrats 👏also do you eat what you catch
By far the best hunting video I’ve ever watched. Most would’ve given up. This is why you do it right here!
That was amazing the Ned was great it made me cry cuz how cool it was
They were standing on the ledge like they were knocking something out in ark😂
A palpably exciting video from start to finish. Must be one of the best out there. Just tremendous PH. Trackers and videographers . Nothing much will top this for watching
Excellent job showing the hunt and perseverance. Much different than the typical African hunt experience. thanks for sharing that was an exciting watch
That's amazing, especially how you git it with a bow and shared the experience with everyone, thanks, God Bless
Love this channel this guy and Steven rinella are the two best hunters and outdoorsman nowadays would be honored to have y’all to come to Oklahoma and put y’all on some red dirt white tail my grandparents got a 500 acre cattle farm here all the big white tail y’all could want !
Ben bowhunting for a long time seen a ton of footage and have 2inn 170sprobablythe best story and footage I've ever seen ! Edge of the seat!!!! 😊
Amazing video, everything from the hunt itself to the filming, and the editing! Great watch
Thank you so much 😀
I’m not usually on the edge of my seat watching a hunting video but that was intense. Thanks for taking this fellow Iowan along.
Nice deer in your pic
I am sub to u tom
We stay till late for this, man. Endurance pays off! Congratulations on your Hippo hunt❤❤❤!
This whole video should be called " nope need a perfect shot"
hi im guillermo from argentina. what a awsome hunt. that hipopotamus its like a tanck. its a beast. congratulaciones for that. and more awsome videos.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Seeing that hippo is like looking at an ancient relic. All those scars seem to tell a story.
Yeah and these people are feeding into its extinction
All the way here from South Africa good job and well done that takes balls I also hunt but this is next level thx for content
Wow amazing! Nice work. Did u get to keep the skull?!
Would love to hear how this animal gets processed. I've never heard of people eating or utilizing hippo parts, which I am sure people do, let alone hunt them.
Absolutely dude we have a lot more Africa videos coming out that will help you understand that! Stay tuned!
I couldn't imagine a full body mount that would be epic but expensive, this was an awesome video
Thanks man it was an insane hunt!
@@BowmarBowhunting it looked like it even with the low shot you accepted your mistake and pushed on to put him down ethically. I've always wanted to hunt big exotics but I can experience it through your eyes. Can't wait to see the next adventure.
Dude 😂why u still whisper in 😂
@BowmarBowhunting Have you got the source for the first/intro song you could supply me with for a project? Would be much appreciated! Or anyone else in the comments. Fantastic video by the way, congratulations on that experience and successful hunt!
Probably one of the best hunting vidéos out there! Amazing to see the whole process, even the "miss shot", many would have skipped that part and just show the perfect heart shot! Also, as a wildlife artist but also a hunter, I consider ( personal opinion) that age is way better than inches, and I'm so glad you took the time with your PH to explain what characteristics makes him an old warrior, I ignored many of them and now will pay attention to them when drawing my next hippo! please do that more often! Thank you for sharing this adventure with.
Thanks for watching and commenting dude we appreciate you!
That was one of the most intense videos/hunts I have ever witnessed! I felt every bit of the hunt through your documentation and the filming, the hair was standing up on the back of my neck for most of it. Great job keeping it together and being persistent! That was SICK! I dont think anything could top that ever...
Josh, I sincerely hope you take this as a compliment. As a southern mountains country dude, it would be easy for my backwoods self to disregard you as just another cool guy bro hunter. Happy to say I couldn’t be more wrong, and ignorant. I appreciate your reverence for your quarry and the passion you bring to your hunts. It is very down to earth, and very relatable. I really enjoyed how genuinely thrilled you were to talk about making some steaks and giving meat to the locals. I feel the same way with my dinky Appalachian whitetails lol. Appreciate what you do. Humbly grateful that my preconceived notions about you were shallow and wrong. Cheers buddy. I love how hunting brings people together . One of the main reasons I do it.
Bro you should email him this no one reads the comments
“This is the most unbelievable experience of my African life” 😂
Would be great to see more of the processing. Such a rare thing to see so big of animal being processed to feed people. What did the processing reveal about the 1st and 2nd shots? Great hunt and videos. Liked and Subscribed!
@Paul Blart well yeah it's safer that way than by yourself.
@Paul Blart at least he is not a loser mall cop
@Paul Blart Why watch what you don't like? Do you purposely work yourself towards anger?
Echo John. Did the arrow setup perform how you expected. What were the arrow specs? Did you hit more than ribs?
@Paul Blart losers post stupid shit from the safety of their keyboard. Look up the word "conservation". These hunts bring essential funds to a very poor area and allows for better wildlife management plus tourism money to help keep other essential game safe. Educate yourself mate.
Y’all make the best hunting videos now ur just adding to the crazy hunting journey!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching buddy!
I agree! Right there with The Slock master!
Im stoked just watching you get that trophy ❗🤙🏾
crazy to see this hippo next to a pretty big guy. really puts into perspective how big these creatures are
Isn’t it wild?! I couldn’t believe it
1:13:53 is the best example of that
@gilda bra do you see humans touching them at the zoo?
I watched from start to finish and I am not disappointed at all. I've always been fascinated by dangerous wild game hunting since I was a kid but back then you would only see pictures in magazines maybe some docuimentaries. Thankfully with new technologies like KZhead, these videos can be brought to us as if we were there with the hunter, literally mindblowing.
Favourite hunting channel! Did not disappoint josh, congrats on a warrior. Great hunt!!
How did it taste!? I’m really curious you’re a real skilled bowman and inept hunter! Well done what did y’all do with him? Why did you guys cook with it?
ThT was worth the hour and a half. Thank you for the video
