I just discovered your channel. I've been a compound guy for awhile and I'm just getting into traditional Longbow. Denmark seems like an interesting place to hunt
We only have wild rabbits on some of our islands, so we have this annual trip to hunt rabbits in one weekend in september. The season for rabbits starts september 1st. Thanks for tuning in on my channel
It's nice to see the hustle on first hit, quick to put the rabbit out of any pain
Thats our duty, thanks for watching
Wow! I can feel the pressure between recording and shooting your game! Love you content thank you for showing. ❣️
Your welcome !
That was a fun video!! What a perfect way to spend a nice few days outside, and have the benefits of something for the pot too
I wish I had a place with that many rabbits. I know that was a fun time. Keep making these good videos.
Thanks man!
Excellent as always.
“Action man” 😂 Great trip and Hunt to the Island👍🏻
Another great video. Thanks Peter
I just watched this for about the tenth time but it is so good, what a wonderful day you must have, I hope you had a few beers afterwards. Cheers Mate, Norm. Northumberland, England.
Thanks! Yes sir, we always have some beers after the hunt.
I was hoping to see all of you enjoying a nice rabbit dinner after the hunt. You are right that the stories and laughter after the hunt is half the fun. Thank you
Yeah! Video creating takes some effort in general. And these Rabbits are going with the hunters home to their household. Thanks for watching
Love your enthusiasm!
What a great hunt with some great shooting. What a great channel for trad hunting and a great instructor, the best for us. Rick
Flot film - som altid 🙂
Great video. The part of the intro that just said "the compound guys" had me laughing hysterically.
Thanks hahaha! We Only have the fun we make our self. Glad you liked it
Like our group of men in Bornholm, but not at bowhunt but fishing for sea trout😊
nice !!!🙂👍
Awesome👍
You get chiggers over their picking black berries you do here in USA 🇺🇸 sometimes in bad places. Great 📹 video as always 👌
Thanks!
Great video mate, some of the best camera work I've seen on a youtube hunting video.
Thank you🙏
Great shooting and content as always
Evan Keiser Thanks man!
small game forces us to focus harder on everything. challenging and fun. my first shot at any game with a stickbow was in 1969 at a rabbit in the briars. I missed plus lost the arrow LOL.
Near I as well. '71...recently moved very rural from deep suburbs...
stalking with my arrow knocked, got tangled in the briar..arrow got behind a knee 'n next step I snapped the arrow in two. lol, game over.
I love small game hunting!
Bowhunting Soul yeah That’s awesome. Thanks for watching
@@peterjuulsgaard ❤️
“And the compound guys!!”😂😂😂
Haha thanks for watching
5:11 that was not a crappy shot. that was a perfect dodge from the rabbit haha
NoortjeXx yeah he played me hahaha
Knowing that most small mammals have some pretty quick reflexes, they almost always sink down, steeling themselves for a leap. Even deer do this. If they can see the quick jerk on release of a bow string you can bet that there will be reflex movement. Knowing this I STILL have missed shots, shooting just over the top of animals, dang it! I still remember some almost guaranteed broadside shots I made decades ago that just missed, going just over the top! A person should focus on the spot they want to hit then aim to hit at least 1 to 2 inches underneath that spot. If they don't flinch, you still hit them but if they do flinch then your spot on! My hits have risen a fair amount since adopting this policy! If you have successfully still hunt an animal and they don't see you shoot then all the better but that's not the norm. Remember, their life depends on quick reflexes.
@@willyam9735, thanks for that info It is gold, I will apply next hunt
Yeah they will ALWAYS jump the string, they must hear the bow being loosed.
I was a compound bow hunter too swiped back to traditional bows preferred them for many reasons.
I my self also comes from the compound. Thanks for watching
the challenge of hunting small game with a recurve bow is satisfying. Using broadheads is also very humane.
using any head is pretty humane for rabbits. Some even say that blunt impact tips are more humane because they transfer more force into the target, and so disrupting the nervous system is more likely. I'm not sure which is better, but at 4:11 here you can see the guy needs to hit the rabbit in the back of the head to finish him off. My opinion is anything that gets the rabbit in the pan without undue suffering is probably fine
@@christopherrowley7506 everything except for the field point itself which has been known to push aside arteries rather than cut through them.
@@niksutherland4280 interesting haven't heard that before, makes sense though. Although on accident I once only brought out field points and still killed 4 cottontails. 3 went down pretty quick, the other needed a follow up. But still not too bad, the boys here with broadheads needed to follow one up with a head bonk. I definitely would never use field points against anything better, and I'll use small game points if I have em. But they didn't serve to too poorly for those few I got
The european rabbit lives in hives and holes. And they have holes everywhere. Often there is a hole beside where they are. So we need something to get stuck in the rabbit, so they cant escape into the holes and die slow. So besides that it is not leagal to use any stump head on smallgame here, unless the bow and arrow can deliver 70 joules of kinetic energy. So we use broadheads
Love your video, just subscribed!
Thank you🙏
Love watching your videos , I'm giving some rabbit hunting a try with my longbow it's a lot of fun no luck yet though. keep making those vids!
Thanks! Good luck
Brilliant video 👍🏻
Thanks
Small game hunting is a lot of fun great video
Thank you
@@peterjuulsgaard you're welcome
A very good video, I enjoy ir thanks for it
Your welcome!
had people tell me that I can't get rabbit with a bow and arrow !or a 1911 ( that they called a colt 45) ! told them I could hit a rabbit in the eye at 25 yds and the heart at 50 yds ! had more fun hunting rabbits with bow and arrow !
Awesome viedo love small game
Thanks!
I think it’s awesome! I’m going to give it a try
Good luck🏹
Very good
Great video!!!
Thanks🙏
Good shot
very nice video Peter im busy getting my deer licenses in order and hopefully i will be physicaly able to go hunting here soon i ruptured my achilles tendon 6 weeks ago and i think i will be walking in shoes by the end of September which is a good time to start hunting!!! though i may have to do it from a blind but we will see!!!
shootemfulloholes I wish you good luck, both with the achilles and the hunt. Thanks for watching
Another great day out with friends and rabbit stew,it's got to be good
Nice vid.
My tips:
Rabbits that have been shot over recently are more easily spooked. Depending how heavily hunted over then they can stay in hiding from 10 to 20 minutes; but their need to feed is high. Their natural flight instinct is about 65m so getting under that takes some stalking. Ground wind is the one to watch for, sky lighting too.
Try and hunt over land that hasn't been hunted over for at least a couple of weeks. Anywhere there has been no hunting or dog walkers are half as difficult.
The chop does work, but can be bruising. if you need to do a few then neck stretch is better; just do it with a straight arm. Like pulling a bow.
ATB
Muskett Thanks for watching and the tips
Boy that looks like a lot of fun I tried that once but could not see them till they took off running never hit them running. There is very few in my area anymore to bad they taste good. Darren
Shooting rabbits with a stickbow is fun and a good challenge. Thanks for the video.
Michael Storm Thanks for watching
It's very bad habit
Those were some fantastic shots and the crappy shot didnt actually look that crappy to me. I really enjoy watching you guys put down those rabbits. I've done that a few times myself, but not quite as well as you seem to be able to.
Not a crappy shot at all, considering a rabbit will always 'duck the string' ie duck down when it hears the string released, that's why you always aim lower for rabbits and be sure to have very good string silencers.
@@normdunbar2943 good advice for any game, deer squirrel, whatever. That and having an animal committed to a movement and unaware of your presence. When a deer is taking a step, he's committed, harder for him to react, and animals react so much faster than a man that its startling. Good hunting, Sir.
My favourite part was the karate chop hahaha
Jasmine Waaka Aaron Jackson hahaha Thanks for watching
@@peterjuulsgaard i wish you could hunt here in Canada you would love it where im am we have giant deer over 300 pounds ,, cheers from Canada brother
lesterclaypool1 I would love to
@@peterjuulsgaard just curious why he hit rabbit to break neck?
Gabriel Ark it’s a quick way to put them down if they aren’t dead. They die right away
Puha, det er dumt at se så fin en jagtfilm når man sidder 5000 km fra sin bue og sin jagt.. Fin video, det ser ud til at have været en hyggelig tur på kaninøen. Det er bare svært med tradbue. Træk og slip 🙂
Henrik J. Haugstrup tak ska du ha’ . Godt der så er noget at se på youtube😉 ha det godt derude👍
Très jolies vidéo , merci
Merci
4:09 this guy is a real ninja😂😂
🇧🇷 perfect shoot 👏👏
Sergio P. calixto Thank you sir
Great video.looks like you have a great time.your lucky you can still hunt with bow and arrow.its no longer allowed here in Ireland.
We are having a awesome time every september, when we are hunting rabbits. Thanks for watching
A nalgene bottle of berries is the perfect amount for a pie. And all the ingredients are by the package. 1lb butter, 1lb brown sugar, 1 box graham crackers, one lemon, salt to taste, and a cast iron pie pan over a camp fire with tin to loosely cover,
Bravoooo ! 👍👍👍
Cf florine
nice
Glad to see you were using sharp broadheads to shoot the rabbits instead of blunts. Many times an animal will be hit with a blunt and wounded only to run away and die. They don't run much after being hit with a broadhead.
Yes sir! We use broadheads for the same reason. We are simply loosing the rabbits with stump heads
Forever traditional bow awesosome hunting !!!! Trad bows forever stillicidio hunting. Barebow luis
barebows Thanks for watching!
Nice video
Thank you🙏
Nice work buddy! Great video! Great tradbow hunting! Cheers!
Thank you sir!
Very nice shooting I know it's not easy to shoot and film at the same time and merry Christmas
blackout lancaster76 Thank you and merry Christmas to you to
Haha Birthe will have watched the end with great interest. 😂
Exactly haha🤣
Very interesting hunting
Thank you
Nice
Want to make one of these for hunting in my backyard
Great shooting guy's, you do well just to hit the damn things with Trad gear.
Haha thanks man
Traditional gear is the only way to hunt small game. Lots of guys, not too long ago, busted rabbits and other small game with traditional bows with wooden arrows and metal blunts covered with rubber blunts. Two older guys I know could knock squirrels from trees and I watched one of them pick off birds. Comes from constant use of the bow and lots of stump shooting. You should try it.
I prefer drip dry , to tea towels :) , maybe you could show folks how to butcher , remove glands and cook the rabbits , too !!! Bon apertite from Australia !
Thank you for watching! Maybe I will some time.
God film 👍
Rabbits are tasty. I just wish they weren't so darn cute. I live in eastern Kansas USA. I live on 3 acres. My Wife feeds wild rabbits daily. I tease her about how good rabbit stew is. She is not amused. We would have to be hungry to start harvesting.
R L saved hahaha Thanks for watching sir!
Awesome stuff! Now make some "estofado de conejo con papas" (rabbit stew with potatoes), it is delicious with a wild rabbit!
Manuel Weber Thanks! I’ll do something like that. And I got some rabbits from the Compound guy’s as well, so I can make a bigger portion.
@@peterjuulsgaard Excellent. Add a few hot peppers (just a bit) and some basil and rosemary leaves to it. Yummy! Enjoy.
Show de bola👏👏👏🖒🖒🖒
Rigtig flot film.
Arcos tradicionais são tudo de bom, amo arcos tradicionais, pequeno jogo é incrível caça no esbarro como vocês fazem, sucessos amigo tudo de bom, tamos juntos!!!
Thanks for watching man!
Helga & Gertrude? They shoot & wash dishes 😄. Utilitarian.
Haha👍
Don’t you hate it when they start ducking the shot like at 5:15, I wouldn’t say it was crappy I think you’re being hard on yourself, you’d have hit the spine/kidneys if he hadn’t moved. Sneaking up on them with a bow is hard enough (the ones on my lawn now run when the house door opens) adding a camera and tripod makes it really tough. Maybe a head mounted camera would help?
Stuart Smith your probably right. I Think i would have got him if He did’nt duck. Thanks for watching
Have you tried using Judo points? I found I spent too long looking for arrows after pass throughs or misses, but I use a compound at the moment. The judo points sometimes go in anyway but I haven’t had a pass through yet, and they snag up in the grass well so they don’t travel on too far and are easy(er) to find when you miss. Or are broadheads a legal requirement?
Stuart Smith actually broadheads are legal requirement with a tradbow, because of the rules we have on kinetic energy. Compounds can use stump heads. I did that my self, back when I was shooting compounds. And it worked as you said. With the arrow stuck in’em. We are not loosing the arrows that often with the tradbow, though.
Shhhh! Be vewy vewy qwiet.....HEY WABBIT! Must've took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
🤣😂
I was mislead by the title, I expected to see rabbits being taught to hunt with a bow.
exactly what wil they be hunting for flying carrots?
lol you have a good sense of humour.
@@suhuyinimohammedaminimoro8346 flying carrots 😂😂
Yes I do the reverse twist , if u look after I twisted the string on my lap I take the last 8 to nine inches I do the rever twist again
Jessie, maybe you answered in the wrong video?
@@peterjuulsgaard I was watching your video when I got a text ,and I thought I had switched
@@peterjuulsgaard awesome video I love i I hunt rabbits here in the states, cotton tails and jackrabbits , when does ur deer open , Oct 1 I will be in the woods , hunting deer opening day thanks Peter sorry I screwed up
Oct. 1.st in Denmark to
@@peterjuulsgaard ,that's awesome Peter , I hunt on government public land that's bow only , with no guns allowed about an hour from my home , big white tales around 150 to 200 pounds , in northern United States close the Canadian border , lots of 300 pound whitetail now that's big ,thanks Peter for ur videos take care sir
Nice video man.. try to show some tips as well.
Abdullah A' Takson I’m showing tips some times also, when I’m not disturbed by everyday life. Thanks for watching man
I'm just getting into traditional. I like my slingshot for rabbits because I have flat bands.
Nice!
I like those felt overshoes. I think they probably make your approach quieter, right?
Yes thats the purpose
Great video. How you my are bunnies 🐰
Thanks!
That’s meant to be “How Yummy are bunnies “
Silhouette Park Farm Ohh! They taste nice! A little like chicken, but more wild in taste😊
What is the name of the felt booties you show covering your boots and where cab I get them, thanks, Ken
They are called Sneeky feet, made by PSE back in the day. I dont know if they are available anymore. Give it a search
I wish bow hunting was legal in Sweden :(
I wish it for you too
Excellent video, and good shooting. Is there a trad club in Copenhagen? I am in Scotland but I have a friend in Copenhagen and his grandson (14yrs) really likes to shoot my trad bows when he comes here in the summer.
Archers Anonymous Thank you sir. I know about this club in Copenhagen www.kbl-bueskydning.dk/111-2/ He could look them up.
@@peterjuulsgaard - Thanks, that's great. I watched more of your videos, I really like them - the piano music works really well. Much better than the usual heavy metal.
I hate when you shoot a rabbit, and they take your arrow down the hole with them, and you can't get the rabbit or the arrow back.
I hate that too
Buena cacería
¡Sí señor!
Karate chop! I wouldn't waste broadheads on rabbits. Maybe a few judo's.
Judos are not leagal for hunting here in this country! And blunt heads in general are only leagal with 70 joules of kinetic energy. So better use broadheads, than going to jail 😀. The chop in the back of the neck, is how we do it, if they aren’t dead. Thanks for watching
@@peterjuulsgaard ohh sorry mate, you know what your doing, in Australia we use judo on rabbits.
Joss gann like
6:59 THE RABBIT IS GOING TO KILL ME!
I think that the rabbits should also have a chance, so normal bows are better than compound bows.
What were you using as targets for fowl hunting? The flying targets?
Those are foam plates sliced of a worn out target
For arrows what would you recommend because I found my old recurve in storage thinking of hunting elk im a compound guy though so hunted tons of game
I use several different brands, like Goldtip, Victory, Black Eagle and some Deer Crossing. Most of it, is getting the bow and arrows tuned for each other. What poundage and drawlenght are we talking abou?
@@peterjuulsgaard 60lbs and at a 29in draw length
@@thatindigenouscreature8323 spine 400 - 340 depending on insert and tipweight. Aim for 600+ grain total weight with that poundage. Good luck
Lets talk about that karate chop tho!!!
Michael Gibson What do you wanna talk about? 😊
I know this was three years ago but what are those boot covers i need those
They where called Sneaky feets. PSE archery sold them back in the day. I dont know if they are available any more. Give it a search
Fire ants have killed all of our rabbits here in the USA .
you should try rabbit bow hunting with explosive tipped arrows. Helps you with cutting them up for stew, if you dont mind the taste of gunpowder and dirt and maybe a little bit of shrapnel
KA - SLOCK
We're not allowed to use broadheads like that here in Newfoundland Canada
Cory Christian we need 70 joules of kinetic energy to use a stump head on a animal. But “only” 40 joules with a broadhead
@@peterjuulsgaard cool here it's Just stumphead only with 22 lb draw back
Cory Christian different laws in every state. Thanks for watching man
5:15 bro he legitimately barely dodged that shi
Correct. I should have aimed a little lower
@@peterjuulsgaard Do you calibrate the sights or have you shot enough to kinda feel where the arrow is going? I just started practicing archery with a little string bow I got for 40 dollars, it came with a sight but I can’t tell if I like it or not.
@@Beetlebub you can shoot accurate with a sight, but your form needs to be perfect. With instinctive shooting everything kind of compensating the form, so you Quickly learn to shoot groups, but normally not as accurate as with a sight and a good form and alignment
@@peterjuulsgaard Thanks! That was very informative! Do you have a couple stances you could suggest for me to look into?
You have to play with that. But a line from your big toe on your front leg foot to your heel on your rear leg foot, and your feet in a 45 degree angle to the target would be a good starting point
I cant find where rabbits are near me even when I go into the woods or open fields near me and I live in a rural area
We dont have them anywhere either
I gotta ask what that karate chop was at 4:09.
It´s a quick and common way to finish of a rabbit or hare, if it´s not dead instantly. Something we all learn, when we are getting our hunting license. No karate lessons needed!
@@peterjuulsgaard Oooooooh that makes sense. Thanks for responding!
Great shooting and good videos 😊 im start hunting in recuve bow Cheap Ragim Black bear 50pound bow very good bow for me 😂 but im beginger 😉 what are blacktail sitka cost?
Thank you! First of all, I wanna say. No bow will do the job for you. No matter the price or brand. It´s always the shooter, period. So dont think it will help with an expensive bow. The Blacktails starts at 1250 us$
Broadheads?
You dont loose a lot of arrows?
I have better experience with broadheads for rabbits. They take the arrows with them in the holes, when using stump heads
@@peterjuulsgaard Truth!
What type of shoe covers is thatÉ
christopher Grimley Thats my old “Pete’s Sneaky Feet” from PSE archery. I got these almost 20 years ago. So I dont know if they are to be found in stores anymore
Do you guys use blunts, or only broad heads?
It’s Only legal to use broadheads on small game with traditional gear
@@peterjuulsgaard Would it be legal to hunt with flint heads?
No broadheads have to be made out of steel, and for Rabbits it needs to have minimum 2 blade, and a cutting diameter of 20 millimeter (1 inch is 25 mm)
