Watching Essential Encounters
« on: March 04, 2011, 08:33:00 AM »
I posted this on the other EE thread, but figured it would be better to start a new one rather than sifting thru 6 pages of "when will it get here"      :)  

Let's here what you saw, here are my thoughts:


     
Quote
My wife is out of town so the kids and I had "movie night" last night. My 12 yo son and 10 yo daughter were mesmerized for two solid hours!

It is amazing to me how they blend all those fantasic animals, both trophy and unique, along with the spectacular scenery and music to tell the story of the hunt that matches our (the true hunter watching) heartfelt love of the outdoors. Watching it for the second time, I noticed the deer were walking or running with the beat of the music and sometimes the small game animals or deer in the background of the featured animal were showing the "emotion" we as humans would portray. My kids could not get enough of the bears fishing and "rocking out" to the music.

And EVERY word from the narrator said EXACTLY how I feel about bowhunting.

I am so proud of the "Brothers of the Bow". Gene, Barry, Mike, David, and even Mark      :p    , thank you for giving us something that we can confidently hand to anyone in the world and say, "this is why I bowhunt, this is what bowhunting IS!"

This video is indeed a must watch for the family. It got my wife to stop reading and just watch. Unmatched footage of wildlife. It was a little like watching Planet Earth, with the occasional animal exiting rather quickly carrying some fletch!

Fingers crossed!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Fred Bear, Howard Hill, and Ben Pearson may be gone but the Brothers Of The Bow family carry the bowhunting love of nature torch with class. What steve O said  is EXACTLY how I feel too!!

I got my copy in yesterday’s mail, but haven't seen it yet. I will probably wait until the grandkids show up this week-end, and then we can watch it together.

It does a great job of portraying why I hunt and love for the outdoors and creation.  

Couln't say it any better myself than is laid out in this film.
