Solving a Problem Giraffe

In this section, Keith and his team are on a mission to solve a problem giraffe that has been causing trouble in a private reserve. They take along shooting sticks and after walking for about a quarter of a mile, they spot the giraffe.

Hunting the Giraffe

• Dispatching an animal as large as a giraffe requires making a perfect shot.

• Keith uses a 270 caliber rifle with Hornady's 130 grain nosler partition bullet to wait for the perfect shot.

• Keith takes the shot when the giraffe stops and offers the perfect shot.

• The team approaches the downed giraffe and admires its size and beauty.

Managing Wildlife

• The problem with this particular giraffe was that it had lost fear of humans and was chasing vehicles.

• Hunters play an important role in managing wildlife populations by taking out animals that cause problems or need to be culled from herds.

Using All Parts of the Animal

• Nothing goes to waste when hunting. The meat will be used, the skin sold, and even bones can be used as knife handles.

• It is important to place your shot correctly when hunting large animals like giraffes. The lungs are higher up than most people think, so head shots are often necessary.

Reflection

• Keith reflects on how modern hunters continue to manage wildlife populations just as the African bushmen did in the past.
