I was with Mike Mitten yesterday, it was awesome to meet him, talk with him and see some of his achievements. Some of the greatest achievements come from the compiling of all the film footage that he and his brothers have taken as well as the Wensels. Primal Dreams is as great as everyone says, who could argue? It is an awesome way to tell a very moving story. Mike gave my girl friend Ellen and I a good look at Essential Encounters. It was an early version that has glitches in it. This new DVD is so good that the quality of the finished product needs to be as perfect as the quality of the content. I saw the glitches as Mike pointed them out. The Wensels and Mittens are doing everyone good by standing by their committment to on offer the best they can give us. I can say from what I saw, I'm even more excited to get my own copy in my hands asap! It's everything they have been saying it is, a perfect follow to Primal Dreams and I can say in all truthfulness and sincerity, it is all that Gene says it will be. If you liked Primal Dreams you will love Essential Encounters. Whats crazy is the amount of time these men put into this effort. The tons of hours and all that you didn't see that wasn't added or even filmed. This kind of work only comes from deep passion which influences all of us that knows what that fire feels like. God Bless them and the story they tell.

You mean those boys are still in the country??? I figured they were in some warm non-extradition Caribbean country, drinking fruity alcoholic beverages with umbrellas on top of them and laughing about how they took all of those goofs on TG by "telling them they had a new movie coming out."

Gene and Barry are in Texas and can't read these post. I feel and understand all of your anxiety and can laugh with you if WE all weren’t so frustrated. Thank you so much for the kind words 1screagle. You truly are a great artist. 1screagle dropped off a picture he etched into solid granite. We as traditional bowhunters always seem to want to connect to our past. In this case Paul and Bart are showcased in rock from Kenn’s hands. Essential Encounters will also connect you to our past. Know that I am waiting along with you guys, and feel your excitement. I hope the moderators can see we are all in this together and please don't hold to much weight to our gesting. Thank you all for your support. We are greatly humbled. Mike

Mike,  Is the etching from the bear hunt with Jeff Booth and Brad Adams?  My buddy deer hunted Kodiak Island with Jeff and Brad and I remember him saying it was captured on video.  He was going to try and get me a copy but wasn't able to.  jim

Yes the image represents the bear hunt with Bart Paul, Brad and Jeff. You can see the video on Tradgang Bowhunting videos / Paul Schafer and Company / Bart Schleyer Bear / posted by Tom Mussato.    Mike

Ken (1screameagle) is a great friend of mine and God has givin him a gift that is plainly obvious when you look at that picture he did for Mike Mitten.

I will be having him do some work for me as well. Ken,I'm jealous that you got a sneak peak at Essential Encounters...Ahhhh, I'm no good at suspense!   :smileystooges:
