If I am reading the program info correctly, it has nothing to do with hunting with the traditional bow. It appears that it is about the people at Mossy Oak and people who have been on their 30 minute informercials. This is of no interest to me. Show me some quality traditional bowhunting that doesn't have a commercial every two minutes.

Just finished watching the Mossy Oak show with the Wensels.  Excellent program.  

Showed the twins hunting in Texas, and also at their old Cottonwoods operation.

The best part were interviews done with both Gene and Barry, where they explained their outlook on hunting and the outdoors.

This show gave an great impression of Traditional bowhunting!

The program wasn't anything like I thought it was going to be based on the program guide info. The Wensel's are outstanding in every respect. I particularly like their hunting philosophy and how the history of these views have unfolded during thier lives. I'm several years older than the Wensel's and can relate to the historical changes they discuss in the interviews. And what is most interesting is how much we change in the process of moving forward and the role hunting has played in our growth as people. It would be great if the Wensel's could have an hour traditional bowhunting program on television with reduced commercialism,but I know the cost of such an endeavor would require funding from some source and that would require commercials. That's the side of this game that I have difficulty with, but also see the importance of these businesses in selling their products. Just wish there was a happy medium somewhere (wishful thinking).

It was on at 12:30 here. Awsome show! The only problem was that it wasn't long enough.

WHEW!!! What a relief knowing it came out like it did and has been well received so far. I appreciate all the positive comments. Thanks folks. I think Cuz Strickland deserves a round of applause for a great editing job putting this together. Knowing he worked with some old footage/quotes from many years ago was a little scary. Cuz has been an absolute pleasure to work and hunt with over the years. He's as good as they come in the commercial hunting industry. I really do think it'd be a great gesture for fellow bowhunters to contact Mossy Oak/ Ronnie Strickland with words of appreciation and encouragement for the job they did promoting traditional bowhunting in such a positive light. I must admit it was a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the "hyper" hunting shows on TV these days. You could even detect a difference in the music and script that accompanied the program. Excellent! Although I've learned you won't please everyone I think Mossy Oak and especially Cuz did an outstanding job. Thanks. BW

Excellent program! I just emailed both the Pursuit Channel and Mossy Oak thanking them for airing the program. Good job by the "twins" and Cuz Strickland! Mike

Enjoyed the show but it needed to be much more than a 30 minute segment.  Had the pleasure of hunting with the W-bros a couple of times in the late 1990s.

Just finished watching myself. Turned out great! I have to say I knew if "Cuz" was involved along with the twins it had to be good and I wasn't dissappointed! Two thumbs up! Now got to email Mossy Oak and tell them "thats what I want to watch on TV"
