Lead for the GREY MENACE | The Oxwagon Diaries, pt.29

You can now book your own hunts (including airgun hunts) at this property! Visit oxwagonhuntingsafaris.co.za/ for more info!

A lot of the anti-hunter crowd don’t realize that hunters and fishermen/women are some of the biggest advocates for nature conservation out there. Ducks Unlimited alone has done great things for wetlands habitat and waterfowl. Good on you guys for being knowledgeable about your environments and the challenges they face. Cheers from California!

The vapor trail at about 4 minutes. If the temperature is near the dewpoint, the air is staturated with water, and vapor trails can form. The shock wave of a rapidly moving solid object forms an area of reduced pressure, which reduces the amount of water vaper the air can hold below the humidty level. The excess water vapor then condenses. This is fairly common with Navy aircraft flying low over the ocean where the relative humidity is high. A vappor cone forms when they reach transonic speeds. Cheers from the USA.

Atmosphere close to max humidity.Wake of projectile creates an envelope of lower air pressure and ,for a moment, the humidity within that envelope becomes over saturated and condenses out excess water particles and creates a visible trail. Cheers from Downunder.👍

I envy all the fun you get to have ,with the game control you do .I could do that for a full time job .

No monkeys were harmed in the making of this video

"...feed them with a healthy dose of lead" I laughed my head off, bloody excellent! thanks for sharing the video. cheers!

I know nothing about how vapour trails form apart from something to do with high and low pressure but my first thought was that you have moisture in your tank I've only ever seen that much vapour following paintballs

@Allen absolutely correct. This effect often visible as trails flowing off jet wings. Due the wing compressing the airflow.

It’s a vapor trail caused from the local shock waves formed over the curved part of the slug. The slug’s speed is transonic indeed but the local air flow over it is supersonic and it forms bowed shock waves. :-) I used to calculate and simulate these stuff ( CFD) at the uni for engineering fun.

We need more hunters hunting monkeys for the ecosystem. Great job.

4:12 Very good shot !!!

4:20 - my best guess if its CO2 then its just liquid/solid CO2 trailing the bullet and boiling mid-air (in paintball, this was combated with 'expansion chambers' after the pressure regulator). If its compressed air, you might have got some moisture in your gun's air system. If you refill from a compressor then you might want to consider an inline dryer on the compressor lines.

I believe in the right atmospheric conditions combined with the slug achieving supersonic at only 768 miles per hour it would certainly be possible to leave a vapor trail when a projectile is traveling 100 ft. and more per second... Keep chalking them up...!

That's some great shooting. I could see how they can get out of hand very quickly. PCP shots were awesome.

mMatt, water vapor becomes visible when the temperature and dewpoint are within 4 degrees. The passage of the bullet is changing the atmospheric conditions in it's immediate vicinity to within those parameters. Like a jet fighter throwing vapor, the compression of the air as the high speed body passes through it causes the vapor to become visible.

Hello and thank you again for the lessons The fascinating shot at minute 4:03 of the video I think the cloud following the projectile is the gas out of the burrow you can notice the movement of it, that could have been by the recoil and the weather conditions mater fact you can see some changes in the projectile fight path. Thank you for sharing

That intro was BADASS!!!🔥🔥🔥

I love how they talk afrikaans in the back ground
