- Ryan Gill of HuntPrimitive spots and stalks whitetail deer with primitive bow, arrow and stone point. Follow along on this adventure of primitive bowhunting. Deer hunting on the ground, especially spot & stalk is an exceptionally difficult but very rewarding method of deer hunting.

For those concerned with the effects of hunting on wild populations, I invite you to research the regeneration and land protection program implemented in the United States paid for through money generated from hunting licenses and 11% excise taxes paid (by me) and other manufacturers of hunting equipment. This program has brought the whitetail deer, wild turkey, elk, and bison populations back from near extinction to stable and healthy animal herds. This is called the Pittman/Robertson Act of 1937.

I cannot watch any other hunting videos as i kind of see it as cheating with rifles and stuff, but you put extreme effort in making your tools and appreciate the animals you kill. Respect 👍
thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it
calling yourself a hunter, shooting animals from distances they cant even see, or over food plots, or from tree stands, its so cheap and shallow, not hunting at all. primitive bow hunting is the real deal
@@-Oclock it’s how some people love some people don’t even go to the grocery store and live of the land it’s not cheating
Hunting in general is hard I’ve worked on my land for 6 years straight to make it a 2 to 4 deer a year place
@@feelingthestriketv1364 yeah I agree it’s not like you can just walk out there and just shoot one
Absolutely incredible!! Just discovered your channel! You've sparked an interest for me! And,,, primitive gear,,, no fiberglass, no synthetic fiber, no wheels, no sight, no fancy camo
thank you very much!
Ryan I think you're the epitome of the ultimate hunter. Awesome video as always.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.

What a great video. That was such a good kill. That camera makes it look a lot farther away than it probably was. People have to realize what you did is almost impossible without skill and preparation. Plus all the the implements from the bow to the arrow and arrow head are hand made. Just the stuff took over 20 hrs in hand work. You earned that animal and you deserve a lot of respect. Love it.
Amazing video! Congrats. I can't imagine that HAS ever been done before. A successful, self filmed deer hunt , still hunting, with primitive bow and stone point. That's about as difficult as a hunt can be. Thanks for the filming credit at the end, btw.
I can't think of another primitive spot and stalk whitetail hunt on camera. I was definitely stoked per my reaction
Great hunt Ryan. Experts often make it look easy. Until one has tried this sort of thing one has no idea how hard you have to work to get to that level of success. Sneaking up on the deer through long grass and water and holding your nerve that close in is is not something you can do without putting a lot of hours into your hunting and to make all the components from nature and to balance them harmoniously together in the tool set is a greater feat still. Then you often still have to put in enough hours to be lucky. The viewer only sees the success not the hard work. Thank you for the inspiration.
yes absolutely on all counts. thank you very much!

Another amazing video, thank you for sharing Ryan. Awesome
I LOVE that intro!
A great video like everyone else, I always learn something new from your videos. Congratulations brother!
Yesss love the deer hunting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for following along!
@@huntprimitive9918 been with ya for years love your videos and keep the great content up 👍🏻👍🏻
@@theyoungoutdoorsman5814 I greatly appreciate that. Glad I could keep ya around for so long
@@huntprimitive9918 your welcome it's hard so get away lol you've been a great influence on me and my life in awsome ways I make bows and arrows and stone points just like you do so thanks for teaching me what I know 👍🏻
i am kenyan, my grandfather used to work for the wildlife, well, i ate a hippo one too, i'd like to visit you one day and share our primitive hunting skills
Great video and great message.
much appreciated. thanks for following along
That was dope, man. You got the shot off beautifully AND ON CAMERA👍
thank you very much!
Well done Sir, Excellent job filming and the hunt itself fantastic,...
thank you very much! and thanks for following along
Biggest fan of your
Love Form India ❤️❤️👍
That was just AWESOM-ER!!
Thanks Al, much appreciated
@HuntPrimitive9918 awesome hunt! I stumbled across this hunt while researching how to harvest deer sinew... you are an awesome shot and to self record during a stalk like that is an incredible achievement! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you've gained!
Great job sir this is a real feat.
thanks very much!
yesterday i was out with my dog and i saw 2 deers across the field, i sneaked in through the short grass and my dog started chasing them, one of them ran into corns but the other one turned around and went 5m away from me. i wish i had a bow on me atm i was sneaking just 4 fun :D
That's actually a valid hunting strategy as well. You scare them towards you instead of trying to find and keep up with them. It's been done since the dawn of time.
@@MrBottlecapBill yeah it worked for the first time by accident, i prefer putting traps in trails they often use, thats the most effective way to hunt really. i also realised how blind those animals are, you could stand still 20m away from them and they wouldnt run but when u make a slight noise theyre gone
Another Awesome Video Ryan...well done !
thank you very much
NIce shot and amazing video.I like learn more about primitive hunt .
Great shot
thanks much
Incredible. Thank you.
That was a really good hunt, Congratulations!
much appreciated, thank you
Great vid! Congrats.
thank you very much
Congratulations on the successful hunt.
"Man it'd be nice to have a warm hunting season"
"Oh yeah, those deer are tiny"
That’s Florida for you.
What a smart dude.
Awesome hunt, skill and commitment.
thank you very much
Great hunt
thank you
Love your content man, crazy you were able to get this hunt on film spot and stalking solo. Congrats though dude
thanks very much. Yeah it was a lot of diligence, instinct and luck rolled into one hunt.
your videos are beyond cool man
What a legend.
I just thought of a question about primitive hunting. It looks exhausting to walk for long periods of time, yet you commonly hear from anthropologists that hunter-gatherers would jog after their target for days until it became exhausted and easily hunted. Do you believe that was plausible based on your experience?
I know it's plausible to an extent through some of the tribes in Africa, but only through what I see on documentaries. Animals like deer can outrun and disappear in seconds. It's not a plausible plan in my experience. I have seen animals being chased long distances with vehicles that still get away. Walking however isn't much of a big deal. We sometimes walk upwards of 8 miles a day when hunting. I can walk for hours and hours even at a pretty quick pace, but even then that is only until game is spotted and then the stalk begins
The technique you are referring to is called persistence hunting. I believe it is normally apply in open terrain during the hotest part of the day. The plan is to leverage the hunters ability maintain a lower body temperature through evaporative cooling. From what i have heard the technique isnt supposed to take days but hours. Running seems difficult to modern humans because almost all of them are overweight. Im basing most of this on a book called Born to run.
@@rangerdanger222 Also the game you take that way are completely different animals. Most swift animals like deer are able to run faster for longer than humans, and the energy expenditure of following one of those would negate the net benefit.
A few days ago I bought Edwards platue Chert Sinew and a knapping tool at your website
Great content... I hope to make my first bow kill this year either hog or deer all the same to me. You guys helped inspire me to pick up a recurve a couple years back and it was love at first sight
Have you hunted pronghorn with your bows and arrows yet?
not successfully. I hunted them a few times many many years ago when I first got started, but never got an arrow in one. I will likely go back for another go out it sooner or later
HuntPrimitive good luck when you go!, That’s a video I’d love to see!
Anybody questions the validity of hunting check out the newest Nova program which was on PBS this last week. It was titled The Fear Factor and had to do with the relationship between predator and prey animals. The point is that predation plays a major role in nature and helps keep a necessary balance between the animals, their food sources etc.
It should be noted, however, that human hunters, specifically western hunters, are not particularly good predators for the environment, mostly due to the most common philosophy on hunting in the US and for rich hunters especially. Unlike people like Ryan Gill or most Native American hunters, the majority of hunters actively seek out either the most or largest animals in an area as a method of flexing their ego rather than obtaining food, and their love of taking the healthiest animals in an ecosystem spit in the face of proper predation. It's also telling when these hunters, in spite of tons of evidence to the contrary, believe natural predators like wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc. are pointless and at best nuisances to shoot for fun.
@@3asianassassin I agree with much of what you just stated, and it is troublesome to me that many younger hunters are more geared to the killing of the animal for nothing but macho bragging rights. Most of them dont know the difference between an ash tree and a persimmon. It wasn't always so and with many hunters it still isn't. But our sport has become so commercialized and distorted in recent years by gun companies, the NRA, and big business that it hardly resembles what it was when I was growing up. We've lost an appreciation of the experience over the result. Sometimes the easy way is not the best way.
I hunt the same exact way.just with modern bow.
You'll get rid of it one day, and join us in the traditional bowhunter clan. 🤝

Can you wear the leather sole moccacins on rocks and in wooded areas? My dad bought a pair of Huron made heavy oil tanned sole moccacins for me. Thanks Ryan.
yes you can. no problem at all. just be careful on wet or snowy rocks
6:20 brave man wearing moccasins. Apart from the thorns, are you not concerned about snakes? Have you tried waterproof boots or is that against the spirit of primitive hunting?
If you don't mind me asking, what state are you in?
he's in florida
@@williamstrome5271 thank you
Where can I get your books?
Yo, Moccasins marketing department, hit your boy up

Hur får man limet
wow
What country or state is this ?
I really want to go hunting but I can’t since 1. There is not anything apart from squirrels here 2. It is illegal to hunt here and 3. I don’t have the proper gear needed and 4. It is also really rare to find a squirrel
Bobby Bcala likes this Tony soprano not so much😂
do you have any deer hide tanning how to with brain ?
Newer arrows would mean the animals would suffer less time after being hit
not at all
@@huntprimitive9918 it's the difference of having only two blades cutting through the deer versus an arrow with 4 razor blades, that's a no brainer.
@@illuminati_killr9322 If a stone pointed arrow and a modern arrow both go through the lungs, they will die in the same place. Most of my kills dont make it even 40 yards before falling down
@@huntprimitive9918 Correct, on perfect hits that usually the case, but I'm talking about when we fail to make perfect hits, an arrow which causes more damage during entry will have a heavier impact than arrow which doesn't as much. That was the point really.
Congrats! You'll be eating well off her 👍
for sure, and thanks. We ate the heart that night.
Man you're almost literally living my dream its inspiring
You deserve an Emmy or something for that opening sequence. Beautiful, in all ways. You have inspired me to pick the bow up again. Thanks man.
Completely agree, amazing opening.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Milo Johan Instablaster :)
@Dennis Terrell i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Dennis Terrell It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Great snap shot! Impressed you self filmed and got that off. Sun definitely blinded her.
thanks. yeah I got stupid lucky with the sun. No other reason that deer would stand there that long. Like they say, be in the woods long enough, and the perfect storm will happen
Your videos are amazing and you are amazing. Thank you for sharing on both your hunts and bowyer skills.Long live barebow
Awesome hunt. Hunting at ground level is really something special.
thank you very much. I truly enjoy the ground hunting more. especially stalking around
Your skill sets are amazing. I'm a beginner flint knapper. This makes me want to learn more.
thanks you very much
Same here. This channel has made me get into knapping. I have hunted my whole life but the older i get the more i want to move to more traditional methods.
@@joe31986able I love to hear that. thanks for followin along
You got good teacher on the tube pay attention .
The amount of effort you put into your videos and the sheer amount of wisdom you've recorded on this channel... you seriously deserve more views.
I can't believe you not only got that shot but got it on camera. Amazing!
me too. I'm still amazed. Definitely the one I was meant to have.
@@huntprimitive9918 the only thing u have to do now is make ur own moccasins
@@dariuswhite2543 I have made a few pairs, but I prefer these ones from MocsCanada. I am not much of a clothing maker. I prefer to stick with with the hunting implements.
@@huntprimitive9918 u be hunting in a hunters paradise abundance of rabbits and deer. You are blessed
Great Hunt!
Outstanding!
Great Creator bless!
thanks very much
I live in a desert area, we have Mule deer here. It amazes me how much people will spend on camouflage clothing to sit on a hill with a rifle and try to hit them from 200+ yards; whereas earthtones and a bow are more productive and you can get within 30ft lol.
this is a great video so much talent and that bow shot was amazing I cant wait to support you with your shop if i can love your content keep up the good work
thank you very much!
I primarily hunt with a smoothbore flintlock right now, been working on my archery though and eventually will be using the primitive bow.. hadn't considered stone points, now I'm curious about making those too. Thanks for the video
Awesome job Ryan!! Wow the excitement in your voice says it all my friend hard work pays off and you work hard buddy! Congrats!!
thanks buddy, much appreciated. I was definitely excited with the hunt
Never been successful on a white tail stalking with a bow. They are too skiddish . Mule deer and elk are different. Im going to try to do this with a Turkish style bow next year!
Really nice bow hunt just go's to show primitive hunting can still get it done and if people don't like how he hunts just don't watch but don't give him a hard time he a skilled hunter and has very high standards of hunting great video and great channel
thank you very much, I greatly appreciate the kind words
Best hunt video I've seen in a long time. Very well done.
I like your style man. Congratulations
much appreciated
HuntPrimitive I have a cane break in my freezer waiting to be a bow backing. Because of these videos. Thank you
I made the like button say 20

Love these videos
thank you
I just hope u ate it after this and not just killed it without reason 👀🙈
Nice editing
That is just terrific, Ryan! Congratulations on a well executed and filmed primitive hunt. As you said, it just doesn't get any better than that!
Man i just found ya and i am a picky guy on my huntin shows but i really enjoy your show and i am very impressed by your skill and as well i am picky and judge more than i should how people suck at it but i find watchin your show just plain fun thanks man i was in a pissy mood and this really helped.
thank you very much. That means a lot!
What's up, cupcakes?
That's the way hunting should be done.
thanks much
Man that was awesome!
thank man. I look forward to seeing you do the same soon!
@@huntprimitive9918 I've been out there every day trying. I sure would love to make it happen this season and will do my best; but I'm definitely in this long term. Thanks again for all the help, info, and inspiration.
@@nwprimate6416 Just keep at it. Your first is incredible special and it gets easier with each one.
Super cool! Can you wear those moccacins on rocks and bark?
yup for sure. I wore them in my elk hunting video a couple years ago over rock, crumbling shale and snow.
@@huntprimitive9918 Do you sell them?
@@huntprimitive9918 Thanks Ryan. My son asked that question. I want to tell you how much you inspire this young man. He putting together so many things like you. He loves to work with leather and making primitive tools. Today he took one of his arrowheads and made stone knife! He wants to meet you when we go to Florida! Thank you for all you do! Love it!
@@jamesbaldwin9969 they are on my website yes, but I don't make them
@@ChattanoogaDave That is awesome and so glad to hear that. I love to inspire everyone but especially the next generation. thanks for letting me know and for following along!
Congratulations imma gonna do this next season win my bow and arrow are done maby this year but I've never bow hunted before so I'll probably have to practice
Who's here from tik tok
glad to see you made it over. thanks!
I'm here from tik Tok
awesome, thanks very much
I have a request - would you put a little more of your stalking, pre-shot movement, blind setup and other spot and stalk and still hunting techniques into your videos. I know they would be longer, but your techniques would really help a lot of people, since the hard part is getting to the point where you can make the shot and you consistently do that well.
Thanks for all the info you do put up on youtube.
I have a whole video dedicated to just that. th-cam.com/video/vRlfdeHARUg/w-d-xo.html
I want some of those arrows.
Yeah greenbrier is one of the things I don’t miss about living in South GA. We called it baboo vine there. I think smilax is it’s proper name. The tips of it are edible, but the one shown in the video is more bitter than the bigger variety. Glad you had a successful hunt.
I love your videos but bro, whoever's doing your music need to stop. It sounds like I'm watching one of those chinese youtube ads for "an amazing invention that got this dad fired from the company he worked for"
Respect for your skill and knowledge! You scored some serious Man points!
Thank you so much ryan once again , im a keen watcher of your channel , have my own primitive school in UK ! i wondered if you have a video on which animals to hunt and when e.g male or female , age of them , which months of the year to hunt , all the kind of info on logistics of the hunt to keep in line with the regeneration and care taking of that species .. or do you just go out and hunt anything? thanks again johnny
thank you very much. I don't have a video on that because different animals at different times of year in different regions will breed and birth at different times of the year. Here in America, our hunting seasons are based on biological study to not interfere with birthing seasons. In historical times however, depending on food availability, many animals were specifically preyed upon during more vulnerable seasons because food was life. In most cases, animal populations didn't suffer much drop in numbers with primitive hunters. It's the HUGE numbers of modern hunters shooting animals at hundreds of yards away with rifles that make animal population management a necessity in modern times.
Beautifully done! 🤜🏻
Супер 🙌 однозначно Like 👍👍👍👍👍.......
Great job! I wouldn't be wearing brown in the deer hunting woods.
Amazing video! You are an extremely talented hunter. I do have one question, do you hunt on public or private land. I'm in Texas and trying to figure out all of the tag and where to go stuff. I used to go to a friend's land but have since moved.
In PA we hunt deer in the mountains and snow. You don't know what that is. Congratulations on a nice harvest, even it is totally different than what I think of as deer hunting. Well done.
If you lived up north, would you wear a buckskin jacket/coat? I want to make one and wear it while bowhunting, but I'm concerned about how it will affect my scent and camouflage.
I have to say even though understand the pro hunting arguments and see some wisdom, this guy is very strange saying a animals is beautiful right before he kills it mounts his kills then stands in front of their. Heads and regales the tale of there deaths with almost orgasmic delight very strange and unsettling seems anything you can hunt he slaughter with abandon and delight we for. O other reasons it gets his jollies off if your hungry sure if you are culling sure if they present a danger sure. But for heads or to get your rocks off NO and total transgression shame,shame one day you will harvest a recompense
You should make a video with deermeetfordinner
Nice Doe, she’ll look good in the freezer. Nice to see you do a food harvest rather than the trophy buck that many on TH-cam insist on harvesting.
