This is an amazing short film. It’s so true that if you just stop and take in what’s around you that you will become a better woodsman.
I enjoyed this very much.
Great meanings of the reasons we hunt in this video..
What a great little video. I truly miss my dad and being able to set around a camp fire in deer camp. Thank you dad for our time together ! Enjoy your short time with your parents everyone.
I enjoy every min of it that is for certain
Awesome video and fluflus for aerial shooting
4:05 ... OMG .. your Dog with the Tactical Bag is so cute!!! Awsome idea !
Thanks for sharing
Great video!
Very cool video mate. Great story
Buenos días excelente video gracias por su birlos
gracias por ver el video
My first recurve was that exact bow. Just getting back into archery after 20 years
Actually all the amazing things you mentioned I learned from letting my dog run freely and following him by the barefoot running technique and see everything from his eyes rather than from a city-boy perspective... today I can track down animals, find natural shelters, water in the middle of a Forrest from just having silently observed my dog in detail... I love this film! Am just about starting with bow hunting ! Thanks for a beautiful film :)
It’s funny you mention that, and I kinda skim over it in the film but I scout with my dog for the same reason. He will naturally use Game trails and he notices critters far more than I do sometimes, valuable resource for sure.
Instinctive Adventures yes, please keep making films like This 👍🏻
Love the old green grizzly. Just got a newer grizzly but like to get an old green kodiak hunter just because I think they look so cool
Great film. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks I appreciate it!!
Excellent video sir, I have watched it twice now. Keep up the fun vides,. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week.
Dale
Wow, this a great experience. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, brother. Just awesome. Keep up the great work, and thank you for this.
Very well shot and certainly a philosophy worth thinking about.
Very nice
Beautiful video man and sentiment
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work! I really enjoyed this!
real bow hunting, great video, good luck!
I too live and hunt in Maryland. It’s a very diverse place. Great video and call to action. Dan.
Love the video...from a fellow Bear Bow shooter👍👍👍
I have the exact same bow, just left handed!
WELL worth the wait Chris...very nice! And as Ron Goldman said, enjoy the time with your dad because you'll never get it back.
Very awesome as usual, Chris!!
Great video, really captured the essence of hunting and the family aspect. Keep them coming!
Nice work.
Absolutely awesome best video ever. I could listen to you for hours
Just stumbled across your channel today, and now I’ve watched many of your videos. Really enjoying all of your content! Even the rabbit hunting from over a decade ago. Great content with some nice personal insight and meaning. Look forward to more content in the future.
My first traditional bow was a Herter’s recurve 42# bow. Took my first deer at 15 years old with it. Bought a 50# one and killed several others, a few hogs and two turkeys. Great experience. Great video. Thanks
Ha interesting. You and I share a similar experience except my first was at 15 with a 40# galaxy. Good stuff and it’s hooked me for life
Awesome video.
Fantastic video mate. I would try a great plains sr swift recurve i absoluttely love mine
What a great experience, and the recording equipment was high quality. I've hunted the Allegheny Natl. forest south of Warren, Pa. for 15 years, and only harvested 1 Buck. But just being in the smaller mountains is wonderful experience I truly enjoy. Keep the video's coming, you are doing a great job..
I thought I was watching a Steven Rinella video! 😜
Well done sir
These are the best kinds of compliments. I wanna be the love child of Steven and Donnie Vincent when I grow up.
Love that old grizzly. I have somewhat of a vintage fred bear collection and the green grizzly's are some of the best shooters.
I have to agree I shoot it extremely well. That’s why I’m perplexed as to why I keep missing whitetails. I’ll get my nerves under control eventually.
Holy smokes those arrows are beautiful , excellent video Sir
I've never watched one of your videos before, so when it started I thought to myself "Cool! He got Tim Wells to narrate!". Took a few minutes to realize my mistake 😂
Awesome video, brother!
Excellent video! Very inspiring and that’s a beautiful Bear Grizzly, had my hands on one just like it last week. It was so beat up, I just couldn’t pay the price. I found a nice 47# 1967 Grizzly and it will be in my hands tomorrow.
It was really rough when I got it. It was 80% covered in camo tape from the decade which was extremely difficult to get off. Lots of elbow grease and I made it happen. The only true blemish the bow has are the two holes they made to mouth the sights they had on this bow when I got it. Other than that its pretty much perfect!
Instinctive Adventures that would have been a really good video of you restoring it! It is so beautiful!!
Wow, this video is truly amazing😍
Thank you so much!! I really do appreciate it!
Awesome movie. Hoping to see one of our boys experience a day in the deer woods with me before my time is up.
Enjoyed your film! I too have hunted with Fred Bear's equip for 40 years. Currently a Supermag 48. I've had more misses than hits. As you show, the hunt's not all about the kill, sure we try to fill our tag, but enjoy the total experience! Thanks, and good luck to you!
Well done, really enjoyed a "real" bowhunting video.
Very well done. It’s the first I’ve seen of your videos and subscribed. Thanks
I love watching archery videos for tips, etc. Almost none connect with me on an emotional level. This one did.
Hey just wanted to say thanks again, I managed to take my first deer with a Traditional Bow last week, a small buck. Your videos have been a huge inspiration!! From Nova Scotia Canada
-Ryan
Ryan Murray hi! Interesting vid ! Next time you are in Florida, we'll see about finding that bow that h oh are looking for!??
@@greywolfwalking6359
Hey not sure I followed your comment, I’ve never been to Florida
Nicely done!
Totally loving this video!!!
Love it
Hilarious 🤣! Fantastic story! But at least you didn’t leave your quiver of arrows on the hood of your truck and watch the Deer go by then realize that you have no arrows……………😳🏹
Awesome video. Very well spoken, and some great cinematography!
I have harvested hundreds of deer with bows but not one with a crossbow, the first thing I learned about bow hunting is success is very hard to achieve once the leaves have fallen from the trees , another thing I learned is that any cover scent is better than none with the best being essence of fall brand , and it is expensive but it works. One more thing I will tell you ,,,you must practice shooting down just like while you are hunting deer from an elevated position, the slower the bow , the more critical this is ,,
Thats a lot of sound advice. I'll have to look into the essence of fall. I'm storing my clothing in a tub with dirt wafers and I often use ever calm. As far as practice I shoot from a tree often. I think its just nerves. I've been bowhunting for over a decade, but in our little section of Maryland we have a much lower deer population. So I can count on one hand how many deer I've taken with a traditional bow. I've killed more squirrels than deer. I think it takes time to get those reactions under control.
the camera work in this is amazing. I started watching and looked down wondering how I've never seen one of your videos and realised you have 2.57k subs. well you gained one more
thanks I truly appreciate it!!
I live in Maryland, love the video
this is my dream, and I dream of being in that scene.the scene is my purpose of life, the bow and arrow is so beautiful it is my passion that one day I will achieve .and I wish to achieve see you to see it .thân gửi đến bạn
Fantástico, Congratulations From Brazil,Very Good
Very decent movie bro!
Glad you checked it out!!!
Great video thank you for making it. Please stop missing :)
Good lord I hope I do!!
👍👍I started with a bear bow!!! Awesome video!! Yo bear yo bear hey BEAR!!!!!!😂😂
my wife laughs everytime she hears me say that anymore, but it wasn't so funny at the time!
Instinctive Adventures boy I bet it is a moment to laugh at later but at the time I kno!!! Makes it a ‘part “of the excitement in the cycle!!! Again nice job on this really enjoyed your video
I hate how people fight over instinctive and aiming they both work
seems like they could find more productive uses of their time huh?
I found a beautiful Kodiak bow for $75 at a yard sale. It was almost mint condition I couldn't believe it.
Nice vid!
good vid
stumbled upon this video clicking on random things. you really caught my attention when bear hunting in Maryland came up. I live in Allegany county. with the windmills in the background of the video im assuming you hunt in garrett county? I drew a bear tag this year and also hunt with the struggle stick. not sure ill be using it this year for bears though. Awesome video!!!
I lived in Washington for most of my life, now I’m just a few miles over the border into PA. We hunt Washington, Allegheny and Garrett. I tried for two days to kill a bear in Washington and the rest of bear season we hunted savage river. We have hunted savage for a long time so between all my bear encounters at home in our tiny mountains and all our bear encounters in savage we were torn. Dad saw a bear but it was on a roll wouldn’t have really had a shot with a rifle. This year we have both seen bears and I would have been able to kill the one I saw with the stick. It’s just a luck of the draw with bears in Maryland it seems. Any luck scouting up bears this year?
have a few on cam earlier in the year. with more invasion of people in the woods with archery season and such the pictures have slowed down but there still there. I was fortunate to kill one couple years ago with the rifle and a guy in the group killed one last year. hoping for a repeat again this year!
What arrow rest do you use? I just recently bought a 72 model grizzly.
I use a brush rest on all of my stickbows
Tim Wells soundalike..🤔
Where about in Maryland do you live at I’m in Hagerstown I’d love to meet up and hunt or take you to some private ground I have that’s amazing for bow hunting let me know if if you’re interested and I love the videos
HA, small world. I live in Mercersburg now but grew up in Clear spring. A ton of the footage in this video is Indian Springs, Green Ridge SF and Savage river SF. I'd be down to hunt with ya. Look me up on facebook!
What bow is that
1970s bear grizzly in mint and chocolate
What kind of quiver is that looks well
It’s a selway, in my opinion by far the best quivers on the market
@@InstinctiveAdventures thanks for that looks great and awesome video cant hint here in ireland with a bow but I can pretend lol
Tim Wells much??
Hey man great video, just wondering what poundage the bow is ?
Thanks I appreciate it. It’s a 45# bear grizzly
Well 45#@28”, I shoot it closer to 50#@30”
@@InstinctiveAdventures Alright cheers mate
The videography is great. The music is loud and annoying and often covered up what you were saying.
I was really enjoying this till you said you were hunting bears? From the UK I understand shooting dear for meat but I can't see how you can take pride in shooting bears? That's not a sport it's sad
It’s not sport, never have I ever considered hunting a sport, it’s most certainly a way of life. Rant over, we still hunt bears for meat. If their population gets out of check we won’t have deer to hunt either so it’s a win win to hunt bears. The only reason we have bears now is because hunters agreed to a special tax that can only be used in conservation. Without hunters the state comes in and kills the problem bears and throws them in a dumpster where every hunter that takes a bear has to take the meat because that’s the law. Just some info on how we do things here in the states. Our specific licensing system is a lottery draw meaning I can’t hunt bears every single year in Maryland. The state tries to manage their population in a limited way. Cheers man.
@@InstinctiveAdventures I don't think hunting is a sport, it's a way of life, I get that. That's why I watch these channels, I understand it is key to people's lives there, for food and wellbeing. I'de be a happy man if I lived in say Idaho on a little farmstead with a bow to go out hunting for food! But I'm not buying that you need to hunt bears! As far as most people can see that is the sport of shooting down a big predator. And you eat Bear meat? Come on? When's the last time you had a bear sandwich? And hunters pay tax to save bears, by shooting bears? Haway that makes no sense? If your paying conservation tax it's a cost your willing to pay so you can shoot that's all. And I bet there's an awful lot more deers than bears! Anyway my sentence changes nothing, it still shocks me that people do this. In the UK we hunted all the bears and wolves till there was none. The only Predator we have left is a fox! Can u imagine that? And the fools still go out and hunt them with dogs, and they call it a way of life too. It's sad mate. Let them be
@@InstinctiveAdventures Also thank you for taking the time to reply, I'm not trying to be nasty. These videos are a way to discuss things sometimes, a bit deeper than just giving you a thumbs up. Your filming sensitive stuff for some people, it is going to spark some good and bad vibes. I enjoyed the connection between you and your father and the relation to those beautiful bows! Well edited too! Great video 👌
@Brett Yarborough No way really? Bear steak? Hey listen what do I know, but that is mind blowing to most people, certainly in England. You may as well have said you enjoy eating elderly relatives every now and then! Mind blown!
Did I just waste my time to watch a miss!???
Welcome to the life of a traditional bowhunter😂
Maybe check out 163miles😄
Great content, but why do feel as though you must exaggerate your voice and emotion to get your point across. Absolutely no one in life speaks this way. I would probably enjoy your videoes just as much, with the real you in it.
Great video!
