Shan, give me a shout if you're ever in the islands.

Thanks you guys! My shooting sure doesn't do much to show the potential of my bows, LOL! Actually, almost all of the shots that I missed were deflections    :rolleyes:  As if I needed to be humbled any further, Larry Fisher of Traditional Bowhunter told me, "Yeah South, but those are STILL misses!" Nice guy! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, the credit needs to go to Ryan for the fine job he did putting it together and to Steve Tadin (of Glory Hog 2) that followed me around with the camera for DAYS and didn't quit on me or fire me!

[Shan]

Ryan, Will do! Thanks a lot for the offer. Keep up the awesome work, really enjoy watching the videos you guys put out

I enjoyed the misses, South.  In my world that's "real" hunting.  And you're man enough to have them on film.  I'm really glad some of my misses aren't on film.    :D  
I hate hunting videos that show nothing but the trophy walk into the frame and promptly get dropped and then 10 minutes of ohhing and ahhing over the rack.  This looks like it's a realistic depiction of how hard hunting with a stickbow is.  I'm looking forward to the full version.

This is amazing! So wish could go up there into country like that! Although the nearest "mountains" to me do look similar in vegetation, just not elevation.

Good stuff there....I think I have watched it ten times!! If you watch close on the first shot you can see the bush wiggle and deflect the arrow!
Also, wondering what kind of "head covering" you are wearing South? It brekas up your your overall outline very well.
Can't wait for the full length!

Good eyes! A couple deflected shots, one equipment failure and one "took off" before the arrow got there, just in that teaser.

That was some awesome footage!!! South does it right!!                 We have to wait for 2014!!!! Oh well, something to look forward to!!!

Chris,
This may not be the exact one but something that I used before.

AWESOME!!!! I feel your pain on those misses..actually I've havent missed a buck anywhere near those sizes but I still know how it feels!! Good to know you scored though!!!

[Onions]

awesome! I think I love trad archery even more after watching this video, It's all about the hunt!

Just watched this for the first time today. To get within bow range of a big mulie above timberline is so tuff, to do it that consistenly takes incredible skills and like the title says..."Perserverance".   Awesome job! Really enjoyed it

[Bivyhunter]

That is the same hat that I wear, thanks Ryan! I lost mine in Nevada last year and couldn't find it on Cabela's site. Just ordered another!

[T Sunstone]

Great video.  On the last shot you can see the deer putting it in gear before the arrow is 6 feet in front of you.

South Steve is great at filming the missed shots if only we shot as good as he can run a camera
Thanks Shane
