- Ryan Gill hunts cottontail rabbits in South Florida with a primitive bow and arrow. This bow is the same one as seen in the "Stone Age bow build and hunt" videos. You can find a link to those hunts in the Stone Age series playlist linked below.

My favorite comments are "I hope you ate them" "You better eat these and not just waste them". Those that write those comments clearly don't watch the video or they would have seen that I eat them...of course I do. That is the whole point of hunting... However I kinda think that the offended people would actually prefer to assume that I don't eat them so they can justify their hate for me easier..lol
Not to be a bother or anything but do you have any rabbit recipes that you like that you’d be willing to post sometime? Or maybe a link I could follow? Would greatly appreciate it!
@@moosemoosepower My wife typically does all the taste good cooking. My personal simplified method is to cut it all up and put in the crock pot with potatoes, celery, onion and carrots.
rabbit tastes sooo good
HuntPrimitive yeah I think it’s okay to kill animals without eating them if they are invasive but even then you can use them
Electronic Freak or you can leave them for animals in case someone gives them some weed and they get the munchies
It’s amazing how accurate he is with a primitive bow. Pure skill
I think you under estimate yourself. Ive made my own bow and shoot it every day. If I can do it anyone can. Seems to be the point of Ryans videos too. Try it.
Also depends on how you shoot. If you are shooting pure instinctive then it will probably take more practice; whereas, if you aim in some sort of way, like gap shooting, it will be easier.
It's really not hard. We humans have neuropathways developed for shot calculation. You just don't know yours is there because you don't use them.
"Shhhhhh.... Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits."
Nhyeee! Whats up doc?
UwU
Owo
he's doing the best hunting videos I've ever seen
IKR, the bison with atlatl is the best thing ever
Thank you very much, I really really appreciate the kind words and for following along
@@huntprimitive9918u must shoot a lot of beer cans in order to shoot a rabbit.
@@huntprimitive9918 your videos are doing exactly what u want them to do, educating and inspiring. If u ever decide to make a primitive hunting dvd you have to include these cotton tail hunts theres nothin on the market like it
@@huntprimitive9918 does the sinew bow string make the bow elastic compared to modern bow strings
Not what expect when i hear "I'm gonna pull out a blunt" hehe.
I enjoy watching small game primitive hunting more than big game I think haha
Yeah it's super interesting and probally more realistic
Haven’t seen many big game yet. But I imagine it is harder, you need more arrows probably? The ones I’ve seen so far they just shoot the limbs.
@@Pwn3540 one shot one kill is the mantra, he and many more demonstrate that fact in their big game hunts.
Awesome shooting Ryan. It’s also great to hear the next generation of traditional bow hunting in the background of a video too. Keep it up, we really appreciate everything you do for the primitive and traditional bow hunting community.
Good hunter, quick kill, and respectful never taking risky shots. I was surprised you could get so close to them without them running away.
thanks. Rabbits around here definitely prefer to hold still and hope you dont see them.
This brings back memories.
I started hunting rabbits in1960 with a 30# target recurve and port Oxford arrows. By 1968 I used a 45# Bear recurve on pheasants on the wing🎯
2020 and still sending arrows into space.
Do you use blunts on the pheasants?
Man, I never get bored from your videos.
👏👏👏 You are not only a good hunter, but an artist in bow and arrow making, reviving primitive skills and connecting us to our ancestors.
Great video and great tips, I recently hunted rabbits with a primitive bow and arrows with flintknaped arrowheads, all thanks to videos from your channel. Thanks brother!
Funny that this got posted today, I was having a discussion with my dad about rabbits since we have a lot around.
Amazingly informative video, thanks so much for making it! I just purchased a primitive bow to go small game/rabbit hunting.
Great video! I like the fact that you went over your butchering techniques as well as the hunt.
thanks very much buddy
My people use the rabbit skins for blankets when sewed together in a way, and used to pretty some stuff up. Like, my quiver is made from a yucca stock and we use the skins to cover it to make it look pretty and soft. We also use them to silence our bows
You're awesome with that bow. Loved this hunt
Beware of that first rabbit that ran off with the arrow thru the lungs, he's so tough he might beat the holy living crap outta you.
YES! I love small game hunts! EDIT: I know you showed all you need is a blunt point, but maybe you can use small game to test early projectile points, like small flakes that were just hafted with glue and the micro blades that were glued to the side of the shaft.
Veteran Iron&Wood it’s not need to even have a bow and arrow boomerangs and Spears
This is really great stuff! I'm getting into bow hunting (recurve) and am interested in small game harvesting, specifically rabbit because it's delicious! Thank you for this video!
bugs bunny has left the chat.
Him and is cronies have left this earth it seems
The flank meat is perfect for slow cooking in lard. First you salt cure it (salt, sugar, and whatever spices you want) for 24hrs, then rinse and wipe it, season it and toss it in the pot in preheated lard. You want the lard to be just barely simmering. Cook for 2-4hrs and it's AMAZING. I raised rabbit for meat and I'd save up 10 or so (you can freeze them until you have enough) and then cook like this. I call it 'anything' meat because you can literally put it in anything as a filler. Even more than you can chicken lol. Alfredo, burritos, literally anything you'd use a meat filler in.
Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing.
That's amazing Ryan ! As educating as ever👍👍
Very good shooting. I don't hunt with a bow anymore and I have not built one in many years. I miss it. The last rabbit I took with a bow was in El Paso in 1993. I was shooting a Martin recurve. It is good to see the return to instinctive shooting. There was a while there when I thought the skill would be lost in the western world. Subbed.
Great job Ryan, you are an amazing primitive Spot and stalk Hunter and the best Primitive Bowyer. I love your videos!
thanks very much buddy
Just ate a pan seared wild rabbit yesterday. I shot it with my recurve. First game taken by me with that bow. Pretty delicious and my kids absolutely loved it! Now I am hooked and constantly on the hunt for more of these delicious little creatures!
Love hearing your child in the background and hearing how you interact with him.
Good stuff, as always, ryan 👊
It's sad commentary that you get age restrictions on a wholesome and natural activity. In addition, I've never seen you be disrespectful of the animals you harvest, and I can't say that about plenty of on-air shows.
How so?
lunkydog hello
@@electronicfreak1111 I'd say Gordon Ramsey yelling at people over a bowl of pork is very disrespectful to the pork. Thing gave it's life, and he's screaming because someone dropped a peppercorn.
Any food fight is disrespecful to food. Fun, but yeah very dis
I included my very young children in the "harvesting" of the domesticated animals we raised for food. They grew up healthier with a better grasp on reality because of it.
The same would apply with hunted wild animals.
ZEUS O. Yeah as long as they don’t enjoy killing for the sake of killing it would definitely be better for them
I just came across this video and it is really entertaining.
You are one skilled man, keep it up!
YESSS, this is my kind of video. thank you for the upload!
thanks very much for following along!
Great video! Small game hunting with the bow is one of my favorites.👍👍
You put out awesome content Ryan!
Man Ryan, I'm more and more jealous the more videos I'm watching of you. In Germany we even can't go hunting with an bow, all what's left for me is shooting practice at straw targets. As always you've got great content and on the top you showed how to cook it. Thanks for letting us partake.
If you exchange your dangerous arrows with foam headed arrows you can join us in roleplay conventions and hunt down real people ;) Further in german: Wir suchen noch weitere Leute für unseren Steinzeit-Stamm im Larp - da können wir gute Bogenschützen gebrauchen, die mit uns in den Kampf ziehen, um Leute zu jagen :D Meld dich, wenn du Bock hast ;)
As always, great video, good hunt. I'll have to try that this year
awsome as always! I wish I could go in of those hunts with you!
Great content, can't get enough!
is hunting something big you plan in advance, or do just go out and hunt when you feel like it?
it depends I suppose. It used to be more of a random act, but now with business and family obligations, I typically plan my days off a couple weeks in advance to optimize my time
Anthony Maurice do you live in the city?
Anthony Maurice you can always Hunt birds
@@electronicfreak1111 Yeah, especially house sparrows, pigeons, and starlings! These introduced species are considered so threatening to native birds and to agriculture that there are no federal restrictions on their harvest.
Check your local laws.
@@nmarbletoe8210 What about song birds?
It seems I just found the best hunting channel so far.
thanks very much
Wow, you filmed this in South Florida? I'm a South Floridian and I made my own bow (albeit not as good as that one), and I've been wanting to try hunting using it or a new bow. I'm glad I found this channel!
another great video very helpful and inspirational especially because i have a lot of rabbits near me to hunt
Thanks for your video! I want to go on a long hike trip (for 5 days or longer) and during that I need food and I wasn't sure how to hunt rabbits (or deers) with a bow
Your marksmanship is awsome!
thank you very much
Awesome content! Love rabbit stew. If you guys ever come back north to Utah/Idaho area and need an extra camera let me know!
Thanks for another great video.
Ryan, can you make a video on how to make an armguard? like...a medieval one, i know your videos are stone age inspired but i would really aprecciate if you do so, because i cant find anything on youtube on how to make one. Also, amazing instructive video, keep it going dude!.
Wish there was this many rabbits around up north. Jeez wow.
That's crazy how thick they are great shot Man
Ryan Jesus Christ man back to back to back great videos
Man that bow and arrow is powerful you can hear at the sound it's like a whip bro. AHHAHA loved it i hope i can do this to
That's how I live in Kentucky, country boy can survive. Great video
This channel needs more subs ! Great video
that was some impressive work with that bow.
where in south florida do you go for rabbit? I live in Miami. I know they tend to gather in the sugar can fields around Lake Okeechobee
I really enjoy your videos I'm on a mission to watch them all
thanks very much, I appreciate all the support!
Those bones will make a great stock if you brown them well and then simmer them until the meat falls off the bones. Strain every thing through a fine mesh strainer and discard the bones etc. then make a roux and add the broth to the roux! That gravy is excellent over rice, potatoes or my favorite over baked sweet potatoes!
This is great a great video thanks Ryan. I love rabbit and hope to get my daughter involved in harvesting meat and fresh veggies from the garden. We live in fast past world, but it is not hard to slow down and appreciate Earth.
Very impressive lad, keep it up!
wow! there is plenty of rabbits around dude. you are lucky. Good video.
As a kid I would take my aluminum shafts that split at the end and cut them off then glue a 38 special case onto the end for use on rabbits and squirrels and birds. Another bonus was the fact that the flat point flipped the arrow over and layed it on top the grass instead of burrying under to be lost forever with field points.
that's a good idea
I have a request for a video or two. Can you make a maglemosian arrow with microliths and a blunt arrow from them and do a hunt with each? A small game hunt with the blunt and a big game hunt with the microlith arrow. The maglemosians were mesolithic people from todays scandinavia so it would be quite interesting to see - especially the blunt one
You should do a cooking video, was hoping what this was! Great video, couldn’t believe how many rabbits there was on that property! I’m guessing you was the first person to kill rabbits off that piece of property in a long time!👍👍
Blunts work much better then broadheads for small game for sure.
Haha the father and son interaction was so wholesome. :)
thanks very much
Great Video. I don't know if your cotton tails are the same as UK rabbits but if they are I would always advise pressing the pee from them as soon as you have killed them as it can and usually does taint the meat.. I usually gut them as well and let nature have some of the spoils of the hunt for good luck. Keep it up. From Lancashire in the UK.
thanks very much. Thanks for following along
Great video!
Got one where you butcher with stone tools?
This is awesome love the vids
The sound of blunts smacking them is brutal lol. Super quick kill tho. Way better than any other death they would’ve had.
thanks very much
Is it bad I like your videos before I even watch them?
Wooo you put some wicked shots on them rabbits
Very good video! What was thepoundag of the bow?
What pound is that bow?
In regards to the calf meat, could you say you've gone down that rabbit hole?
I have subscribed ur channel because I love hunting like u
Blunts are nice, but do you ever use bird points for that size small game?
Thank you for the primitive.
Excelent video, y I am a fan from Spain 💪
Cant argue with results but where is your anchor point? I shoot instinctive too, with some minor differences, but if I dont hit an anchor I'm all over the place.
Top demais vídeo, motivo de alegria muito grande partilhar deste momento com você, tamos juntos Irmão 👍🙏👊
Great hunting once again
thanks very much
The gutting really should not be age-restricted, especially because it is the stuff we eat.
Cool, don't have many rabbits up here in Ohio, what wood is the best for making a bow as a beginner? I have a big supply of osage, and hickory.
Very informative video.
Dude, getting rid of sinew and bone? It's super yummy and good for you! Honestly though just section the whole carcas and pop it in the slow cooker or pressure cooker.
Excellent hunting.
Excellent primitive bow and arrows.
Excellent Aim.
Cameraman not so good. He needs to use better camera, zoom in on the target right before you draw and be aware of shades and angle relative to the sun light.
Maybe a stupid question, but when you say blunts, is it completely blunt or is it sharpened at the tip rather that a separate point?
it's just a cane arrow that is cut off flat. no additional point and not sharpened.
Yo man i love you. Best hunter i ever seen. Keep hunting. Keep uploading videos, good luck brother
thanks very much
@@huntprimitive9918 wow you replyed me. Thank you for replying. Can you upload a video slingshot hunting..
@@sudasinghejanuda7813 No problem at all, but as far as the slingshot video, that's not really up my alley. I prefer to hunt with primitive things made from natural materials, and the elastic bands of a sling shot arn't something that can be replicated out of nature
@@huntprimitive9918 oh ok ok. No problem brother. Just keep hunting. Good luck....
Can you sharpen the tip of the blunt arrow too?
Nice shooting!
Nice video and a question for you. Would an actual blunt have worked better? (Not that this didn't work obviously lol)
probably not really. Blunted cane is probably just as devastating on a rabbit as metal
@@huntprimitive9918 I was wondering the same thing, about blunts -- rubber, wood, metal, anything with some weight on the end. However, weight would slow the arrow, and rabbits are so fast that speed may trump any gain in impact from a heavy tip.
You're a braver man than me. I love my barebow but there's enough luck involved in hunting as it is 😅
Great Video!!
thanks very much
So good with a bow man love this guy
that was funny as crap when ur kid came in thanks for the rabbit hunt i cant say thank u enough
I think alot of people think that animals are born on a plastic tray nice video people need to connect with meat in this way
absolutely! thanks very much
Do the rabbits suffer greatly, or do they go into shock after being hit?
they are typically dead pretty fast. Some are dead almost instantly, especially in the case of the head shot.
@@huntprimitive9918 I am new to your channel and I just wanted to extend my gratitude for your respect and sincerity towards the animals that you study/hunt!
@@TheAngryHippie thank you very much. I greatly appreciate that!
Can the rabbit's sinew be made into bowstring?
Just wondering if u can do another flint lock squirrel hunt and a video on. Your hunting knives
Do you have to worry about diseased rabbits? And how can you tell if the rabbit meat is safe and not tainted?
You make the best videos I'm watching all of them will I'm stuck in my house
