Video: A Bowhunt Blast From the Past
After seeing some of the videos from our Generation Wild Pro Staff over the last few months, I felt like I had to throw in my contribution. So, I went back into my archive of hunting footage and found some clips from a hunt that took place 10 years ago.
My friend and I were hunting in a river drainage for whitetails and after some scouting, we picked this area that proved to be a good spot—we harvested two does and one nice 4×5 buck in three days. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the camera rolling the afternoon we harvested the buck, but I caught the two does on film.
There are a few moments when a doe looks up at us and I swear we were busted, but my friend was able to get two clean shots. Within 72 hours, we had enough meat in the freezer for winter—and a nice rack at the taxidermist.
Keep in mind I recorded these hunts on VHS tape, hence the poor video and sound quality. But I think our excitement and the highlights of the hunt shows through. They were just does, but when you’re hunting with friends, everything is a trophy. Enjoy! —Ben

I’ve found some other short vids in my “vault” I’ll have to dig out for later posts. . .

We were hunting along a riverbottom in Montana. It was a sweet spot too. . . On one side was their bedding area—thick, tall grass and plenty of trees. Then, on the other side of the property, were hay and alfalfa fields. So we’d set up between the bedding and the food and catch them as they were coming or going. In the years we hunted it we saw a lot of nice deer (and elk, and bears, and coyotes).
