Successful Hunting

I sat down and plugged in The Truth 9 Big Bulls from Primos to brush up on some elk hunting tips before heading out on my archery elk hunt and I realized that its a pretty darn good elk hunting video. There is 10 hunts featured on the DVD and kills with muzzle loader and archery. It is neat to see the close encounters of the hunters with the elk. I recommend this elk hunting video to anyone interested in the sport as it will give you a good idea of what elk hunting is about along with some hunting tips. I give this DVD a 4/5.

As I am getting ready for my early season archery elk hunting trip in the rocky mountains of south east British Columbia, I am brushing up on calling and elk hunting by practicing and watching some elk hunting videos.

I popped in Backcountry bulls from Eastman’s tonight and liked the footage of the horseback hunting camp. Its neet to see hunting in this style as it is a rare occurance nowadays. They featured outfitter of Jackson Hole Wyoming William Flemming. There were alot of big bulls and good elk footage on the DVD along with some calling tips.

I felt it was a decent flick but was not the best elk hunting video I have ever seen. I do appreciate the Eastman philosophy of "no fences here" and appreciate there willingness to venture into very remote areas of Wyoming.

Overall I give the DVD a 3/5

Have you ever been in the field with your downed trophy animal and wondered what to do next? There are alot of steps and precautions to take into consideration when making a trophy shoulder mount. If the right steps and precautions are not followed you could ruin your once in a lifetime trophy. Therefore It is best to talk with a taxidermist before you go hunting so you can find out what he prefers you to do for him and how to preserve the cape in the field as long as possible to prevent slippage and spoilage of the cape. Here is a great video that shows you all the neccassary steps and techniques to properly cape and skin out a trophy game head for the taxidermist: How to Cape and skin for a shoulder mount video.

Title: High & Low in Mule Deer Country

Publisher: Eastman’s

The Video is a classic Eastman’s production trademarked with the classic music enchanting all Eastman flicks. There is some great tips on patterning mule deer and how to hunt big cagey trophy mule deer. These guys are trophy hunters so you get to see some big bucks. The best and most exciting part is the footage of a cougar and a mule deer buck fighting. Alot of action in this clip. There are a few good kills, but the videography is not the best Ive seen. Overall I give this film 3/5. check it out if you would like to see some mule deer hunting tips:

Wow, I just saw this video on you tube. This display of power from the brown bear is unbelievable.  I personally can handle a quarter of a moose, but to see a brown bear drag a moose with his mouth is astounding. What an incredible animal. I envy the man who lives in an area in which moose are killed by bears on the driveway. Enjoy:

I was exited to see that my much anticipated copy of Hunting Nanuq arrived via Canada Post today. The reason I was looking forward to this DVD was that it was the first women in history(on record) to shoot a polar bear with a bow.

The story starts with a short biography, the pre-trip planning, talking to outfitters, and getting gear ready. I was impressed to learn that Michele Leqve has 36 big game animals under her belt with archery tackle. 12 of those made the pope and young book.

If you are going to plan a polar bear hunt, the information at the beginning of the DVD will be helpful as it shows what one should expect, for example; what you will have to wear while hunting the great polar bear. Conversations with local authorities are on film with some guidelines are made clear for their hunting regulations. Sled dogs and  guides are featured so you can get a good idea of what you will encounter when you arrive for a polar bear hunt.

The hunt itself was short with only 1 bear tracked and killed on film during the 3rd day afield, so if you are looking for an actioned packed, kill shot filled hunting movie, this one may not fit the bill. It does however show history in the making of Michele Leqve successfully hunting and killing a polar bear with her bow. Michele’s husband Jim was the camera man, and he did a good job of getting the kill shot clearly filmed. However there were some other hunts labeled as bonus features on the DVD that captured some great hunts, deer, caribou, elk and a color phase black bear. I really enjoyed the caribou hunt, what a monster. Great shooting Michelle!
