Bowhunting Buffalo in Karamoja: Craziest and wildest hunt I have experienced.
————————-
DESCRIPTION
In the heart of Uganda’s untamed Karamoja region, we embark on an extraordinary journey discovering one of the wildest parts of Africa, with the challenge of trying to harvest Africas black death with a bow and arrow.
What we expected to be an intense nile buffalo bow hunt, turned out to be way more, documenting probably the craziest hunting story I have ever experienced. A story against all odds, experiencing the lowest of lows, but also the highest of highs, proving that hunting and nature always have their own plans.

Great hunt for you and your Dad!! Love the group effort with the PH, Trackers, and Ranger. Unbelievable experience to run across that same bull.
Incredible hunt congratulations
It's hard to pick which of your films is the best, but I'm thinking this might be it. Excellent work and I appreciate that you focused on more than the hunt and kill. You gave us the full experience, as if we were there. Thank you! By the way, you would have lost me at the point the snake showed up.😂
Two questions. After the first trip, did you change anything in your bow/arrow setup? Second, I've heard African game is more of a "middle of middle" aimpoint vs American game which is typically behind the shoulder (except bear). The first shot seemed forward, but the second seemed dead on. What are your thoughts after experiencing it?
This video was just breathtaking every 3 minutes 😮 we were with you in this hunt, waiting for the opportunity of a shot. And what a shot at 57m, impressive 😎
Waidmannsheil for this magnificent bull 👍🌿
Beyond exceptional!
Congratulations on a magnificent outcome!
Crazy I often think you was the luckiest man on earth but this episode prove it too, lucky but accurate, passionate and an amazing hunter that wrote his name on the best modern bow hunters that earth can hold.
Enhorabuena pedro y gracias por tu contenido sigue con tu trabajo por favor.
Eres una pasada y tus videos me flipan.
Muchas gracias.
Amazing Pedro! Congrats once again for this tremendous adventure !
Para que a uno le toque la loteria, hay que jugar muchos muchos boletos, hasta que, de vez en cuando y a muy pocos afortunados, la suerte les visita. La caza es justo igual: perseverar, perseverar y perseverar. No hay otro camino. Esta vez la cosa se ha puesto de tu lado. Enhorabuena!!
Ull never get a pass thru unless ur shooting over 100lbs, n 600 grain arrow not a chance!! N y would u shoot a 2nd animal if u havea wounded 1 u have to deal with 1st?? Ur what I call a Hollywood hunter!! Money can't buy u respect
What was the bow set up
I love watching your adventures! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent film thanks
amazing hunt pedro, modern bad ass bowhunter
What an adventure!Absolutely amazing! Congrats
Pedro, congratulations! What broadhead did you switch to for the second hunt? Looked like an RMS cutthroat.
Precioso. Cazar así, quita totalmente el mérito a hacerlo con arma de fuego. Felicidades y gracias por permitir poder sentir esa emoción de un lance incierto. Eso si es cazar. Enhorabuena
Increíble documental Pedro! Mucho sentimiento en cada reacción que tienes, se nota que disfrutas de cada momento. Enhorabuena!!
Amazing hunt, thank you and congratulations!!!
You are a true Hunter and a Badass! I Love Africa and would love to go back. I know you had back up, but to face those Monsters with a Bow is something I'll never achieve! Huge Nads on you Brother, Much Respect!
Pedro you need to put a Hecs suit under your camo clothes and your crew ! I love your hunts ,God bless you and your family and hunting partners !
Brilliant Pedro!!!
Como siempre …excelente documental !!!
Con un final precioso !!! La fiesta y la alegria que supone cosechar un animal para que todo un pueblo se nutra de lo que les ofrece su tierra !! Y que ademas les ayuda a subsistir y preservar su vida salvaje!!
Amazing!
Espectacular documental con unas imagenes brutales y con un final tan inesperado como reconfortante, al poder abatir el mismo ejemplar que tiraste en el primer viaje. ¡¡¡Enhorabuena!!!
Fantastic film as always Pedro, thanks for sharing 👍🏻🎯😎
Lo que es a veces el destino, enhorabuena!
Thank Pedro and stuff behind cameras, thats such a pleasure to watch movies like that.
what an amazing video!! could you provide the info of the wide angle lens you use ?? the video quality its amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a journey. Thanks for taking us along. Very, very glad for you especially taking the same bull you hit earlier.
Incredible story. Incredible hunts. Your commitment to sticking with the bow is awesome. My dad strictly bowhunted for over 20 years. Just this passed fall, he killed a beautiful whitetail with his bow at the age of 76.
Lucky Guy, I feel with you. Concrats, well done, what a job.
Congrats !!
You hit the Bull on the lower
front leg.
Como no podía ser de otra manera he vibrado con cada segundo de este vídeo!! Impresionante como siempre la aventura, creo que se me ha secado a mi también la boca Jajajja!! Enhorabuena!!
Great video
Poaching and hunting it's all the same (killing)😢😢😢
I guess you don't have a choice, but the ridiculous advertising that's being run takes a lot of joy out of watching great videos like yours.
Qué alegría me ha dado de ver este vídeo Pedro. Lo del búfalo del cuerno roto, no sé…es acojonante. Que suerte poder vivir todas estas experiencias, compartirlas y que suerte también la nuestra de poder disfrutarlas contigo. Espectacular trabajo de cámaras, montaje extraordinario, la siempre profesionalidad y buena cara del PH y sobre todo el indio. ENHORABUENA de las gordas y a por otra aventura amigo!
increíble haber podido encontrar el mismo búfalo! me imagino la satisfacción de haber concluido esa cacería iniciada hace meses, una sensación hermosa. Un placer como siempre ver tus videos Pedro, saludos desde Argentina.
@Pedro, great video and something amazing that u got the excect bull, this made me subscribe
And great thumbnail, the solder with a balaclava, muddy bull and the man of the hour with a sunset back ground 🎉🎉
Imagine!! the way you traced that buffalo is how death is tracing us, much as it doesnt miss! Astagfirullah
Enhorabuena Pedro!!! Increíble vivencia y una historia preciosa y única 👏🏻👏🏻
Enorme, Pedro!!! Una pasada de video
As a rifle hunter this is hugely impressive stalking. Fantastic.
I’m surprised that any PH would take you bow hunting, stalk and shoot at very close range for these dangerous beasts! When you guys walked up that Dugga Boy and jumped him from his bed in the tall grass, yours and the PH’s abrupt reactions clearly illustrated the tension of the moment! Fantastic to capture that on video!
Great hunt Pedro. Way to be persistent and make a quick clean kill on that old warrior bull. Thanks for taking us along!!
Fantástico !!
