Primos Boys
 

Just wanted to know if anyone can tell me why the Primos Boys laugh and carryon almost hysterically after they harvest an animal. Is it just me or I am missing the punchline. I can understand released tension and relief after a successful harvest but these boys seem to be taking to the GIDDY level.

RE: Primos Boys
 

LOL, I know what your talking about, but honestly, I get extra excited after I harvest a nice animal!

As long as I don' t have people hunting close to me, I' ll give some good ole, Hoots and Hollars and jump up and down before i kneel to pray. If somebody saw me at this moment, they would think i was crazy.

But hey, when it stops being fun, it' s time to hang up the bow/gun/fishing pole.

I' m sure you' ll agree!

Good luck out there!

PAHunter21, I think you are talking about a genuine celebration which I totally agree and do myself but these boys just seem to be kind of making fun of the kill. I know I' m probably way off base but I just don' t get a real good feeling when I watch their giddiness. As a result, I watch their hunts until the shot and then I hit the mute. By the way, where in W. Pa. are you from I' m originally from New Castle.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I think it is genuine excitement and love of what they are doing. Many of the shows everything appears to be staged. I think these guys work hard for the animals they take and are excited about it. It is one of the few shows I like to watch. I have never got the impression that they are showing disrespect for the animal.

RE: Primos Boys
 

Geronimo, I may be wrong on this one, but the reason I think they get so wound up is because they are not only happy, but relieved that they got the footage. I don`t know if you have ever done any video taping of hunts, but it is not easy to do.

Those guys hunt so many days, in so many locals, that they are probably burned out.

Then again, maybe they are crazy!;)

RE: Primos Boys
 

What video are you talking about? I want to check it out for myself... you got me quite curious. I didn' t notice a problem in the past but that might be a lapse in memory.

To answer your Q. about what part of W. PA...... Beaver Valley area. Nice conversing with ya.

Good luck out there!

Mez definitely hit the bullseye. These guy' s work for their animals and very often show some awesome close encounters, that many times don' t work out (you know, hunting...LOL) They harvest some great animals and show the good, the bad and the ugly. I don' t watch too many videos (only when at the hunting camp with no reception on the tube) and these guy' s, IMHO blow away many of the other " well known" hunting icons.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I' ll have to agree that their videos and t.v. programs are as authenic as anything out there. I' m sure they go through a lot of disappointment and frustration and I' m not trying to take anything from their good work. I guess it' s just a personal thing.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I have a few of their tapes, so I know what you mean,,,I also know what it means to show some gratitude for the life of the game animal you harvested.Making such " lite of it" ,that you giggle your self to the point of coming off looking like a half-wit redneck,,well thats being ungrateful.They should keep in mind that NOT all the people who might see one of their tapes, partakes in hunting.I think you guys know what I' m getting at,,,[:-]

RE: Primos Boys
 

They actually kinda remind me of my self. I get pretty d*#n excited, thats just before I settle down, get serious, and pray to the good lord, and thank him for everythying. I sometimes get so envolved that I pray while in the woods regardless of game or not. But back on the subject, I' m with everyone else I feel that those guys are genuine hunters. At least there not these little rich boy hunters like Bill Bordom and Jackie Bushwacked:D!!

RE: Primos Boys
 

It' s all about the money baby! Wouldn' t you be excited about being able to go back home and count all that money! [:@] Personally , I' m getting disgusted with just about every hunting show out there, Buckmasters, Realtree, Mossy Oak, Primos, etc. It' s all BIG BUSINESS. Everyone of them have lost focus on what it is all about. They should take a lesson from the guys that produce Closing the Distance, thats a great show. Also, Archers Choice. But, it probably won' t be long and they will be just as corrupt as the high rollers of video making. I would much rather watch average Joe shoot a 6 point off of private land than to watch Bill kill ANOTHER buck on the Milk River.

By the way antlereather, the guys at Primos are VERY wealthy, don' t be fooled.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR WATCHING VIDEOS ALSO AND OWN MOST OF THEM.WHILE MOST OF THE PRO STAFFERS ON THESE VIDEOS ARE GOOD HUNTERS,DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW THEY WOULD FARE HUNTING PUBLIC LAND ALONG WITH THE REST OF US WITHOUT A GUIDE HANGING THEIR STANDS AND TELLING THEM WHAT TIME THE NICE 10PT WILL PASS BY AT 8.30AM?

RE: Primos Boys
 

i have to agree with belle island, all these shows seem to be about these days are about what product they can push , and most of them seem set up ! i did however see an advertisement during secrects of the ,that you can send in a video of your own personal hunt and cabelas is putting together a video of them all ! i think they should make that into a show instead of a video !

RE: Primos Boys
 

We have been doing surveys all over the place for the past year to see what people are wanting in a video. We keep hearing the same stuff, just like what has been said here, a real hunt not a deer farm hunt. The hunter against the deer, putting in his homework and shoe leather(even though we wear rubber boots) and sometimes winning, but most of the time loosing to the deer. I have put a few guys together and we will have a video out in March 2004 of just that. No paid hunts, some will be on public land others will be on land we have gotten permission to hunt. We are watching a few nice bucks right now, but we want to incorporate why we are hunting in that stand and how we chose that spot. And Heaven forbid if the good Lord is willing we will even have some doe kills because that is part of hunting and good management practices. So keep your eye out for SCC Outdoors video !!!!!

RE: Primos Boys
 

I like ' em....They seem to make fun of themselves as much as anything....I think they truely enjoy the hunt.....IMHO they make the best videos out there....

RE: Primos Boys
 

SCC...sounds good...looking forward to it.

I agree that most of the shows aren' t that great anymore. And yes...for many of them, it is all about money. But hey that' s the business they are in, so I don' t really blame them. We have the choice to watch or flip the channel.

There are a few that I still enjoy watching, Primos being one of them. I agree with CG on that one. :)

RE: Primos Boys
 

SCC Outdoors,
Make sure you let us know when that video is out, sounds like one I would like to see. A few of my friends and I are also going to video-tape hunts this fall, and we have already seen a couple " shooter" bucks by our PA standard.

RE: Primos Boys
 

You can see some of the bucks we are after on our site. We have some trail cameras out and hopefully will get some pics now and a couple with us and them in the picture also this fall.:D

RE: Primos Boys
 

You better watch it Kevin...You guys make the big time and they will start talking about you too......:D

RE: Primos Boys
 

The way the Primos guys act on tape reminds me of when I was 14 years old. Isn' t it great? I remember the excitement I had when I shot my first deer. I hooped and hollared and its great to have those genuine feelings you had as a kid. Wish I had em more often. Like their series is titled, its the truth about hunting. I like em cause they' re not actors, they' re hunters who video tape. They' re not politically correct but niether is Ted Nugent. They give it to ya the way it is and thats way it otta be.

RE: Primos Boys
 

Ah, I am sure someone is talking bad about me now anyway!:D

RE: Primos Boys
 

just to change the subject a little bit , it wouldn' t be bad if some of these show had a little more technical stuff in it ,not just " tips" , i think that would be pretty cool too , though not too much as it would probably bore alot of people , there are some things i' d like to learn like tying a center serving or peep , changing limbs , stuff along those linesany way,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :D see not too much as it gets boring ! am i starting to ramble? too much coffee!!!!!!!!1[&:]

RE: Primos Boys
 

I think several guys have nailed this one individually - here' s my $0.02

1) I think the (at times) they get excited enough to giggle becuase of the nerves & adrenalin and relief - in that they got a great animal - and got it on film. I also believe these emotions are truly genuine.

2) I think the Primos STL series of videos is THE BEST on the market. Although they promote the products they use, it' s still about the hunt. They don' t (after the kill) immediately pull out their Nature' s Essence & show how they covered up the odor of their rock & roll pony tail, nor do they describe how they will pull the animal out with their Glen' s deer handle.

3) I think Will Primos, Brad Farris, Jim Horn, & ALL the prostaffers that I' ve seen on the different TRUTH! series videos are truly genuine - you can' t fake the emotions shown on the various videos!

4) I think Primos calls are the best on the market - when looking for ANY type of call I search out a Primos - and I can be confident the call will work as intended.

No, I' m not a Primos employee but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.:D

RE: Primos Boys
 

Was watching their show as I was reading this post.

They just seem to be thrilled after a successful hunt. All of their shows seem to try and keep the actual hunt as close to real as possible. They do a good job and put alot of work into their filming and hunting.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I like thier shows better than most too. We all will have different reactions to our success. Some hunters get a doe, and it is a very cherished kill, so some of us might hoop and holler about it, where as some hunters kill a doe, and it' s just another deer, nothing to get too excited about. Or, if you traveled along ways to hunt elk, and you were successful by killing a 4x4, some guys might jump up and down with joy, and the next guy might not get too excited about it ' cause he has taken several elk already, or had higher hopes and bigger dreams. I know last year when I arrowed my first called in coyote, I got kinda gitty, gave out a big shout of joy, ' cause it wasn' t easy, and it gave me a great sense of accomplishment. Some of us celebrate differently with success, nothing wrong with that!

RE: Primos Boys
 

The shows are about harvesting animals.who wants to watch a guy sit in a tree all day while getting nothing--because thats what happens in real life most of the time.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I' d have to say that I enjoy their show and videos. I believe they are just having fun! And YUP, I' m jealous! When its not fun any more, just bury me![8D]

RE: Primos Boys
 

i can assure you the excitement of the kill is valid with the primos group.i was in a club several years ago that jimmy primos also belonged and they are just like the rest of us.as far as their calls,i have taken many deer and turkey with them.in fact,i don' t use any other brand!i hunt public land so i can only envy them for taking exceptional bucks even though they be in places the average hunter will never be able to.:)

RE: Primos Boys
 

Ive got an idea for an untapped market. A PUBLIC HUNTING AREA VIDEO!
Myself and my friends will be shooting small does and fork horn bucks on crowded public hunting areas. Watch as we sit for endless hours in our stands and not see a thing. We will also show the verbal, (and occassional physical), confrontations between us and the other hunters in the area when they confront us for hunting in THEIR spot that they scouted but never hunted 3 weeks ago.[:@]
Great footage of me drawing down on a massive spike just as another hunter walks out of the woods 50 yards away and spooks it. Share in the sorrow as I approach my evening stand area only to find that my stand has disappeared.:(
Only $6.99 plus $20 for shipping , handling , and the pain and mental anguish
of having to hunt these areas.[:' (]

RE: Primos Boys
 

benhuntin,

That is really funny!!!


People really don' t know how hard it is to catch a harvest on tape. Even though I would like to see some stuff done a little different, it is pretty hard to get enough footage to put together a video.

RE: Primos Boys
 

Some have said its all about the money. That may be true but look at what the big money has done for the technology. If not for big money we would all be shooting lackluster bows with marginal performance. Its the videos and tv shows which draw the attention of big investors which in turn help our equipment and our sport evolve. Not all that comes with it is good, but you have to take the good with the bad.

RE: Primos Boys
 

Im with you Geronimo, that excesive celibration should be a 15 yard penalty! I dont buy there videos anymore because they get on my nerves.

RE: Primos Boys
 

I' m sorry but I don' t see one thing wrong with being giddy and happy when I have successfully harvested an animal. After all I have challenged this magnificent and beautiful creature on its own territory and won and I celebrate that victory but I NEVER fail to pay the immediate and due respect to this wonderful animal.

From the time of harvest until all the meat is consumed, I remember the hunt and animal in my prayers every night.

WHAT' S WRONG WITH THAT????[&:]

I am opposed to Bunny Hugger thoughts on the killing of any animal.
