i know I saw what your talking about and thought for sure it was on one of the 2 discs. If I'm wrong I stand corrected. Deffinately worth the watch to find out.

George nobody could have said it better. I have loved these two guys most of my bohunting life there vids were the first ones I had ever watched and is the gold standard by witch all others are judged against. I have gone to see them every time they are around my area and its a joy to hear speak. My girlfriend has been a trad girl for less than one year and after seeing one of there vids is a big fan and wants to have lunch with them. That has to say something when a newbe with all the archery choices out there see's how special these two are to the sport. Widow

Terry, you bet Barry can run. One of the videos has him chasing an armadillo. Now that was a hoot. It did get away but he gave it good go. The armadillo was better in the corners but Barry could keep up on the straights.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

My father had that video when I was a kid, Man I must have watched it a billion times.  Wonder if he still has it around.

[Littlejake]

It's called Techniques for Instinctive Bow Shooting. I still have it.

[joevan125]

Yea Bowhunting October Whitetails was the first hunting video i had ever seen many many years ago.

I still cant get that music out of my head.  

[Barry Wensel]

Littlejake might be right. I remember I was a little embarrassed when that particular tape came out. I recall stepping off the plane and they shoved a microphone at me saying "tell us all you can about instinctive shooting". No time to gather my thoughts, etc. I recall a lot of my opinion and some stuff I thought important was cut and left on the editing room floor. I wasn't real pleased with the final product. I got over it though. Ha. BW

Ol' Herdbull must of been paying close attention.  Uncle B, you should have patented that "trolling" technique--it is now "puppet fighting" HAH!

[jefffunff]

it was tips & techniques, Tricking Whitetail Bucks,

[Bryan pinick]

Jeff is right.

 I still have it.  I love it when Barry takes the apple cider in an atomizer(intended to spray in the air for cover scent), and sprays it in his mouth for a refreshment.

I still laugh when I see it every time!

I think you may be right. I went upstairs to the spare bedroom and under the TV stand I have about 50 old VHS Tapes. I ran through the end of October Whitetails I and II and also Instinctive Shooting and did not see it there.

Boy, I forgot how slow and loud VHS recorders are. They moan,groan,hiss and sputter and it takes forever to fast forward through a tape.
I have some good old ones like Bob McQuire walking through the woods talking about deer hunting dragging a microphone with a cord on it  

I am going to have to watch some of these old tapes soon.

25 years ago my new bride told me my honeymoon was going to end quickly if she had to watch how to hunt a corn field one more time! It couldn't have effected her to bad, she took me to New Brunswick bear hunting this fall on our 25 anniversary. She even came and sat with me every day in the treestand. I loved the Wensel's videos and wish I could go back to those days when hunting was the reason people made videos. Today it's all about sponsors and what something scores. Thank You Barry and Gene!!

Barry, you're the best! Gene...are you kidding...no tags filled this past season? No hero pics from my hero? Were you holding your mouth right? :^)

[Gary Logsdon]

Have any of you guys seen the one where Barry explains the REAL reason he wears his hat sideways??  It's so he can bury his face more fully into the nearest watermellon!!

[DRR324]

Grew up watching the same videos everyone is discussing.  I am fortunate to live in an area with plenty of deer and was very successful with compound in my early years.  Been hunting with the recurve for 12 years now and have had tag soup a few times, but mostly due to my choosing to pass on young deer in general.  I took my son to the kzoo expo a few years ago to meet Gene and Barry.
I have always been in awe of the way Gene and Barry stay grounded in life.  They seem to truly be blessed with great friends, great hunts, and I enjoy reading all the posts they are a part of.  I have finished reading both books, and have started re-reading Genes again.  I continue to squirrel away a few dollars in hopes of making a trip with my son to hunt texas with them, as this is truly one very high on my wish list- spend a few days in a camp with the 2 guys I most admire in our sport.....

[BowMIke]

My favorite Wensel funny is where they are examining a pile of bear scat and both end up tasting it. Now that's funny!

[Marty]

ttt- for Barry

[Biggie Hoffman]

Marty did Barry REALLY say he wanted to get in the 300 post club????

Lol - that's the one on Bowhunting October Whitetails (2, if I recall) - not the trolling thing.  Great stuff!
