I can't imagine how may hunting videos ( now DVD's ) I have watched in my lifetime, but Bowhunting Oct. Whitetails I and II are still my favorite of all. I love it when Barry shoots the buck ( the one that is blind in one eye) that they moved with a 2 man drive. It is the most amazing shot I have ever seen on video. It is running full speed by him, and he pulls up his recurve and drill it right behind the shoulder. An amazing shot. Then when they recover the deer, Rick Blase(sp?) is just drooling over it being such a perfect shot, and Barry says no it wasn't, I was about an inch off. Then they started making fun of the fact the deer was blind in one eye and that is how he got it. There was some hilarious stuff in those videos. Anyone who has seen them will never eat a watermelon without snickering ever agin.
I met Gene at a Whitetails Unlimited seminar in Ft. Wayne , Ind. about 18 or so years ago. It was incredible. That guy gave great tips and info, but man he had the place rolling in laughter all night. He had a story about using ziplock baggies to pee in that was hilarious.
Afterwards I bought his book Bowhunting Rutting Whitetails ( great book) and a Whitetails Unltd. hat to have him sign. I was alot younger then, and kinda in awe of him. I asked for a hat, and he said "What size?". I stood there like ,UH UH... and he started lauging and said, they only come in one size ya dumb ass!!! Everyone around was cracking up , including him. He signed the book and the hat, and when I went to pay, he only charged me for the book and said that the hat was on him. He said the kick he got out of the look on my face was worth the price of the hat. We talked a while then and he was really a cool and down to earth guy.
I agree that some of these yahoos on video and TV need to watch footage of these guys. Class acts all the way.
Also, Primal Dreams was one incredible DVD. It definitely captured the whole essence of hunting.
