Just ordered my copy after reading all of your posts.  Now I can't wait for it to get here.  So how long is this going to take, anyways?  If it's anything like Primal Dreams, it will be a masterpiece!
Stickbows, Sidelocks and Flyrods, anything to make it more of a challenge!

Bear Kodiak 50@28 “the girl”
Palmer Classic w/ 50@28 and 56@27 limbs
58 Kodiak 45@28
Kodiak 59'er 50@28
1958 Pearson Hunter dual shelf 45@28
and my original longbow I used as a kid.

My case was busted up too, but the dvd's were not hurt.

I just finished watching it !  
It is as good or maybe better than Primal Dreams 1, that is unbelievable, not many movies (if any) is the next release as good as the first, and these guys set the bar very high on Primal Dreams 1, I didn't think they could meet them lofty standards again, but they sure did !

As was said before, they somehow capture our feelings and emotions and put it into a movie, put my name on the waiting list for Primal Dreams 3 !

Past, present and future generations are represented in this production, blended into a wonderful journey into the world of predators and prey. It will touch your heart and at times choke you with emotion.

Essential Encounters definitely "IS" essential for every outdoor minded person. You will come away with a better understanding of yourself and your love for the outdoors.

Thank you Mittens and Wensels for another out of the park home run.
The above words taken from Ron LaClairs quote pretty much sum up my thoughts after watching it for the first time last night.Primal Dreams was good.Essential Encounters is better.Truly an amazing production that shows nature,wildlife and hunting in a very positive way.Gene,Barry,Mike,etc. truly an outstanding effort on your part.

I tell ya what, Mittens/Wensels and co. did one heck of a job!  Very, very cool.

Like Ron said, there are scenes I will probably never see in real time.  The sense of emotion that comes with some of the scenes is overwhelming.  

Fantastic, I give it two full quivers up!    :campfire:

I'm watching it right now and have gotten through the first half hour so far. What can I say but thanks guys, you've hit it out of the park as far as I'm concerned. Gotta get back to the show!

Anyone have the volume drop out a couple times, or am I the only unlucky one? Anyway, it's a Great DVD.
If it's in your way, move it.

I got mine on Friday. Just an awe inspiring DVD. And the size of some of those bucks is unreal. Wish i'd see bucks of that class in my area. The buck with the double drop tines and his tonge hanging out. Looked like he was ready to die.

Thanks brothers of the bow.  :thumbsup:

I just finished and David, Mark, Mike, Gene and Barry it was simply awesome. The power of brothers and family and a shared love of life was certainly evident. Congratulations to you all.

I got mine this weekend and my wife, son and I watched it this afternoon.  It was awsome.  Garrett is 5 and good at it so he was in and out of the room but he really liked the snakes and the outtskes.  He also thinks Gene is a ninja.

Thanks guys,

Tom

Just an outstanding DVD! Loved every minute of it.

The interview with Capt. Ed was priceless and Gene can sit by me anytime in Church with singing like that!!

Just finished watching it with the family, very well done Gent's. I am very confident that non hunters that see this will "Get It"

It was disturbing however, to see how comfortable Marty was man-handeling the south end of that hog..."I'll take that one Daddy"

Mine arrived yesterday to my surprisea, but alas, I had to work the weekend and have not yet viewed it. I Will not get a chance till the coming weekend. I am truly looking forward to it. The trailer was an expected teaser.
