Seeing guys in a 500 dollar tree stand and 1,000's of dollars in plastic and nylon gear, and a expensive rifle that can kill hundreds of yards away seem so dam cheesey anymore. Primitive skills are true skills which were required to survive at one point. Good hunt. I remember when my beard was dark and very few grey.😄 but years of doing this very same thing (primitive hunting in the Appalachian mts) my beard is solid white at 49. Its rough but whole Lotta fun. Good vid 👍
I use compound, but I just spent 3 days in the Georgia swamps deer hunting. Had deer at 3 yards! Literally the most fun I’ve had in years. Didn’t have stands (I usually hunt diy stands or blinds) and just hunted the ground.
thanks very much. I always say that hunting primitive will teach you way more in 1 or 2 seasons than a lifetime of rifle hunting. While I have little interest in modern gun or modern bow hunting, I always hope modern hunters will still follow my channel and get inspired and motivated by my content..... and my beard is getting really grey, really quick.
That second pig was so close. I'm glad you're an ethical hunter and didn't take the shot. That's a great learning experience for those younger hunters. Congrats on the one you did get. Really exciting.
nope, it holds good and tight. I prestretch the crap out of it while it is still wet and let it dry in the stretched position. I would have to really soak it to hurt it.
I’m and avid hunter and have been into traditional (not primitive) for 10+ years... that being said I’ve been watching this channel for a while now and I don’t think your giving the animals a sporting chance I think with your hunting abilities and skill you should only be able to use a blunt object and you’ll still probably club more animals than I would harvest with my fancy recurve! great job man good video!
most of my bows are in the mid-upper 50 pounds ranges. Most of my shots are close. 8-12 yards. I did kill a deer several years ago at about 40 yards, but too much can go wrong shooting that far.
Just got back into trad bow hunting love come down to Florida hunt some pigs , what do u think about apalachacola wma ? Can a non resident hunt pigs in may - June there ? Is it a target rich environment? Is it heavy hunted
Love the more primitive design of your handle section instead of the thick pistol grip riser design. Not that there is anything wrong with them. Just prefer your design. Amazing hunt!
I don’t think people think about how dangerous hogs are I know your experienced but lots of people think they are peaceful and they will charge you in a heartbeat I’ve had lots of close calls
There are tons of places online where you can buy some beautiful chunks of flint. It forms naturally just about everywhere and you can find it in places that have not seen much agricultural use, but I get mine from one of my relatives driveway, which is made of loose unassorted rocks.
finding it in the wild is just about covering a lot of ground and always looking in new places. All while growing up, I didn't think there was any near where I lived. Little did I know that I was close to big rock sources and just didn't know to keep looking. Eventually, the more you adventure, the more chances you will have to find it
Please keep it up Ryan. What you're doing is amazing. I'm not a hunter but your practical use of primitive technology is impressive and links us to our ancestors. It's great for everyone but being a FL native it's even better
this is private land on a south florida free range cattle ranch. No high fence, and not public land. We do however do a lot of succesful public land hunting as well as seen in some of our other videos
On one of the first hunts in this compilation,, I noticed the bow had a couple branch knots. Did you have any lack of strength issues from them? When you was tillering the bow, did they cause any problems there?
HuntPrimitive thank you, sir. I did have another question I've been begging to ask - do you have experience with making points out of obsidian, or quarts? Quarts in particular,, its more prevalent in my area than chert, or flint.
@@ncoutdooradventures6148 Obsidian yes,. I do a lot of obsidian work. Quartz however is bottom of the barrel material for me. Definitely not an ideal knapping stone given other options
HuntPrimitive - I'm guessing you don't really "knap" quarts. So how would you go about making a useable point out of material that doesn't flake? Most of the points I found in central Florida wasn't made from flaking material, very brittle, but very sharp. They was worn down enough that I couldn't distinguish how they was made. Are they simply ground down? Please forgive me for my ignorance, but, in these times, I wish to be able to produce a useable point in any given situation, from whatever material is available, and for me that's mostly quartzite!
yes, this and the deer hunt were self filmed. I have a little secret that no one knows about yet, but I am starting to drop little hints like this. I will have a "sister" youtube channel coming out in a couple of months and it will have a lot more film and tech information on it, so keep your eyes peeled around the first of the year! It's going to be pretty big
In "First Strike Tools" video, th-cam.com/video/K9MAC8CUDfQ/w-d-xo.html Alan Kay explains that for Cherokee and other native peoples in the Carolinas, Flint and obsidian WERE IMPORTED stones, and before those trade items became available native peoples had to resort to quartz for their Stone tools & implements. Flint, chert, and obsidian are even less available in Florida (which is essentially one big ancient sand bar/ coral reef) so what did natives use to craft wood with before European contact (made steel tools available) in Florida?
Florida actually has lots of rock. We have chert, agatized coral, and chalcedony. Central florida has some of the best and prettiest rock in the country. The agatized coral is 1.5 million year old fossilized coral from when Florida was a reef. In the carolinas, they used the quartz but did trade readily for the chert in georgia, rhyoline from west NC, and jaspers from Virginia on up to PA.
What do you mean "if you enjoyed this video go check out the deer stop and stalk"? Buddy i enjoy all your videos so you know imma go check out the deer hunt lol.
ahh it's all relative. They typically are not as spooky down here on big cattle country, but I have killed hogs on wma's that have been flat dumb, and also been busted many many times on ones on private land. That's one of the best parts about these bows. They are so quiet, they usually don't know what is going on.
I also use bow and arrow. Never a single innocent animal got hurt with that. You have no mercy and definitely you are a Stone hearted. You will pay for this very soon.

Love how at 4:14 most of the pigs weren't bothered by what spooked the one you shot. They were all like eh that guy's a weirdo anyway.
That second pig was so close. I'm glad you're an ethical hunter and didn't take the shot. That's a great learning experience for those younger hunters. Congrats on the one you did get. Really exciting.
thanks very much man
Awesome shot man, absolutely love your spot and stalk videos!
thank you very much! and thanks for following along!
Those were some amazing shots, I love this channel
thank you very much. I am greatly pleased that you love it! thanks for following along
When ever its wet or very humid, does your sinew bow string soften up or lose its toughness?? Great vid!!
nope, it holds good and tight. I prestretch the crap out of it while it is still wet and let it dry in the stretched position. I would have to really soak it to hurt it.
Love it mate ! That was a cool ambush
thanks very much!
This guy is proof that a full camo set from SITKA is worth every penny. Hahahaha. You're the man Primative Hunter guy.
This guy sees a stick and goes, “LOOKS LIKE MEAT’S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!!”
Yeah that's a great shot I love the traditional bow hunting

hahaha, when I hunt with an atlatl, the animals have way more advantage. But pigs are in pretty big trouble when I have a bow in my hand.
Hola muy buenos tus vídeos pregunto cuantas libras tiene tu arco y cual fue el tiro mas largo que hicistes a chancho o venado saludos
most of my bows are in the mid-upper 50 pounds ranges. Most of my shots are close. 8-12 yards. I did kill a deer several years ago at about 40 yards, but too much can go wrong shooting that far.

thank you very much for following along so intently!
Some awesome hunting grounds you are on.
It definitely is. I still enjoy hunting public land too, but it is super nice to have a peaceful place to hunt from time to time.
top 5 hunting channels in my heart.
this makes me want to go out to my backyard and grab some wood and get to workin lol
get started! it's too much fun!
Make sure to use a hard wood though a soft wood will snap. Oak, hickory, or elm is the best .
How do I find flint? and maybe some steel. I want to now cus my fear is being lost in the forest and I don't want to freeze to death.
There are tons of places online where you can buy some beautiful chunks of flint. It forms naturally just about everywhere and you can find it in places that have not seen much agricultural use, but I get mine from one of my relatives driveway, which is made of loose unassorted rocks.
@@checkers4806 thanks for telling. i wanted to now cus flint is cool by what It can do and I might make some stuff.
@@checkers4806 common in most places bar Australia that’s why you use quartz not as clean a edge but sharp as anything

Dude these are inspiring hunts!
thanks man, I appreciate it
Heck yea man good job lots of work for sure!
thanks very much
Where do you hunt?
Many different places. This is south central Florida

Little knots are no problem at all. As long as you don't violate the natural ring patterns around them, knots are exceptionally strong in a bow

@@ncoutdooradventures6148 quartz can make good point only if heat. Treated sure is worth a try good luck
Impossible. You can't kill critters without full cammo, scent blockers, machined titanium and gps. :) Great video.
6:10 Dum, de dum, de dum. Uh, I, uh. I'll just back on out of here then.
Nice shooting
thank you
Fabulous hunting
thank you
Beautiful bow...outstanding hunt. How in the world do you not get snakebit by a cottonmouth in that wet grassey stuff ?
we don't see many snakes around here. Hogs are pretty tough on snake populations
In Georgia.
What Caleb said....
Very good.
good find, looks like good eating
fabulous
This appears self filmed.... Yes? If so, you should do a video showing your equipment.

Those hogs are not spooky comepaired to wma hogs!

Hunting pressure and wind makes a big difference.
Second
I hope you cook them
well, i don't eat them raw if that is what you are asking...
Let them reproduce don't hunt them for awhile
You realise that hogs can carry up to 10 children once pregnant right? They are not at all underpopulated
I also use bow and arrow. Never a single innocent animal got hurt with that. You have no mercy and definitely you are a Stone hearted. You will pay for this very soon.
