Sneaks in with primitive bow, no camo...just natural colors. Amazing!

[@blackedelweiss601]

when people get autistic about camo I let them know about this guy

[@diegogalindo1138]

Amazing!! I love videos with no big bulls big antlers.. Simply the happines of hunting and natural stuff. Thanks

[@IdahoEagle77]

Amazing primitive kills! I want to learn to make primitive bows and arrows like Ryan. Sick of the "everything to perfection" garbage of the bow and arrow world. This man proves otherwise. Excellent video!

[@user-uf5vd8lz5o]

That bow and your accuracy is the perfect combo

[@Sygg-uj3ze]

Homerically glorious and masterfully skilled.

[@jerrytrame5303]

Makes me feel embarrassed to use my store bought recurve and carbon arrows

[@hpsbowsandblades4319]

Ain’t nothing wrong with that brother I do the same thing and we still gotta get just a close

[@sagnorm1863]

@@Matthew_T23 If you are not going to use a rifle, you better make your own stone age bow and arrow or atl atl. Other wise what is the point?

[@HornedGod66]

Still more badass than compound bois. That shit is gay.

[@IvanIvanoIvanovich]

Nothing to feel embarrassed about, that's still more than most hunters.

[@gavinedwards3225]

That’s right be ashamed

[@larryreese6146]

Pretty epic, Ryan. Nothing crude about the weapons you use or the way you use them.

[@stihl888]

Very impressive, a true master in his field!

[@levischenk2668]

Thank you Ryan! Your videos top my list for primitive/traditional bowhunting. It's also nice to see that after years of lectures from other shooters, there is someone else out there that shoots short draw/snap shooting, like me.

[@mackquack2929]

Excellent compilation. I enjoyed watching.

[@ramondoucette4864]

For me personally. I thoroughly enjoyed this compilation. The atlatl is on the to get list.

[@MedicGeorge]

Wonderful video, thanks for posting.

[@earlshaner4441]

Outstanding video brother and everyone else

[@DR4KO368]

Loved the video. Just curious, what's your procedure if something charges? Climb a tree?

[@johnclark1925]

Fantastic, inspired me to go back to the archery club! ❤

[@Oxnate]

24:30 still my favorite. Walking in, puts the camera down, gets the shot and get's a good video of it too.

[@mervynmontague1811]

Fascinating. Your tracking and accuracy is legendary 🇯🇲

[@MangrovesToMountainsOutdoors]

Great video, Ryan! I've had Ryan on my podcast a couple of times. Those episodes are my most downloaded ones, not surprised:)

[@claudiaschenk2982]

Outstanding presentation

How are you shooting bison in the south…..? I’m assuming that’s where you are cause of the palm looking plants around that one at 17:45

[@K_Jungle]

good job.... huntprimitive

[@drewmorg.]

Man you are a frickin slayer... you really DO hunt and look natural out there. That boar stab was savage

[@captainflint89]

saw you on rogan ! flintknapping is going mainstream

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

hope so

[@Sciencediscovery11]

Wait where? I couldn't find it

[@sagnorm1863]

LOL funny you say that. Flintknapping has been going on for over 2 million years. And only ended like 10,000 years ago. So for 95% of human history, flintknapping was not just mainstream. It was the only way to survive.

[@IvanIvanoIvanovich]

@@sagnorm1863 Even after the introduction of metal tools, flintknapping continued in various forms well into the 20th Century. Knapping in Europe for gun flints and in construction. Chipped glass being used by African-American slaves and later sharecroppers as expedient tools in the Southern US. Not to mention indigenous cultures in Australia and the Americas that continued to make stone tools or adapted to using glass/ceramic.

[@patriciastaton6182]

Absolutely. He has videos where he processes and cooks some. He uses all he can, processes sinew etc. 👍

Really awsome..

[@pabloalonso9106]

Amazing...

[@tradbowhunter53]

Hey ryan, ive always been curious about this. Here in idaho i have never found a deer or elk that has had an apparent parasite in the meat(ive skinned and butchered about 8 deer and 2 elk so granted my sample size isnt huge). Im sure they are common in hogs down there but have you run into them with deer?

[@fishmaniachannel]

Masterclass 👌

[@benlee8618]

Hi Ryan , how could you sneak up on those animals so close without spooking them ? ? They can smell or hear you easily. I really would like to know. 😅 You are just amazing. 😅😅

[@Sciencediscovery11]

It's the way he moves. He moves slow and methodically in order to not make too much noise to scare the animals. This method is known as "spot and stalk" and is a well known method for hunting that's used all the time. It's all about not being loud or fast because prey animals react to quick and loud movements and will run.

[@MillerHunting23]

That was a great video!👍 Also those moccasins you used on that elk hunt did they keep your feet dry and warm in the snow?

[@adopenmindiswhatyoullfind5305]

Does the canting of his bow offer an advantage?

[@ArkansasLongbowHunter]

How make pounds are you pulling with your bow?

[@Kenji1685]

How do you sneak up on them so close! 😯 Amazing?

[@Koolibri33]

amazing!!!!

[@RMuhamadFajarIsmail]

Amazing

[@bracoop2]

That bison kill is so absolutely epic. Freaking atlatl dart so perfect. It never gets old!

[@gmod_player556]

Really impressive felt bad watching but honestly great skills

[@xburninginwaterx7959]

Why feel bad it's all fun

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

​@@xburninginwaterx7959 It is still novel, perhaps shocking for some to have to hear such violent screams, moreso that it seems to take a while for them to die. Wouldn't a gun drop them quicker? No disrespect on the practice, but maybe even hunters who use guns could be surprised, and surprise is all I say. I don't think this is particularly wrong, they likely would have made those sounds had they been killed by any other animal too.

[@Sciencediscovery11]

​@ghoulishgoober3122 so it depends a stone tipped spear or arrowhead can drop animals in seconds as seen with that deer earlier in the video. A gun drop animals from shock as arrows and spears drop animals from cutting and bleeding and a well placed shot with these stone tipped tools can take out an animal quickly.

[@Dave-oh2sv]

Respectable archery hunting skills

[@BWA21]

I need a few tips on making arrow please

[@stephex674]

Nice

[@timladd5411]

Hey Ryan, You are a true hunter! None of that sniping deer at 1000+ yards.

[@Sciencediscovery11]

Tbf I don't know anyone that shoots from 1,000+ yards. Usually shots are taken no farther than 400 yards and most shots are taken under 250 yards or something like that. However, yeah I get what you mean he's a true hunter through and through I mean man shot an elk from 20 yards that is insane.

[@aceboy777]

You should try to use bollas in hunting

[@bishoparchery]

The future of archery is in the past and the past is in the future. Self reliance to live, to hunt and gather to have freedom to have fire 🔥 no government has the power to strip away from the human race the right ro proliferate and survive by hunting and gathering. .... "this is the most alive, the most human you will ever feel, if you dont think that hunting with sticks and rocks is human then you couldn't be more wrong....this js the most human you will ever feel in your life" (Ryan Gill). ❤

[@theabhorrentchef7226]

They have tried very hard to convince us that we don’t need to remember how to survive. It’s frightening how well it has worked. But survival of the fittest is not just a saying. Some of us will continue on

Hallo dude do you eat the gammes or just for the fun of hunting them down hate to see 5he bison killed😢😢

[@xburninginwaterx7959]

Is fun to hunt and kill yes ,and eating is part of that sadly alot of hunters aren't truthful about this and use excuses like its what our ancestors did ,it releases endorphins in the brain when you make that kill and nothing comes close to it

[@MangrovesToMountainsOutdoors]

Why? That was the most epic hunt of all, plus it fed his family for a year.

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

​@@MangrovesToMountainsOutdoorsthe comment is specifically concerned with the possibility he isn't eating them. Just confirm that he does eat them, that's all they wanted to know

[@The_SixShooter]

There's other videos where he does processed/cook em.

[@MangrovesToMountainsOutdoors]

​@ghoulishgoober3122 Yeah, no one does that. (kills a bison and just leaves it) I'm one of his camera guys, so I know first hand that he does.

[@derrickperouza3068]

Something seems wrong why was the bison wagging its tail and not trying to run away

[@huntprimitive9918]

cuz It already had one spear put through it's heart and was near death. The second spear was just to make it go down faster

[@dew6874]

What state was the bison hunt in?​@@huntprimitive9918

[@1boortzfan]

Is there any evidence that the Seminole ever used the atlatal?

[@anonymousthesneaky220]

The Seminole mostly just used guns. The Seminole were a group of people leaving other tribes and moving south because of how appalled they were by slavery. Native South Floridian populations such as the Calusa had been absolutely devastated by smallpox, and Spanish power in the area was falling apart, so that’s where the Seminole went. By the time the Seminole were really a thing, pretty much all of the eastern nations were using guns.

[@anonymousthesneaky220]

The Seminole won fame after handing several defeats to the U.S. military after the Jackson administration passed the unconstitutional Indian removal act, but they weren’t the original Floridians.

[@1boortzfan]

@@anonymousthesneaky220 Actually if you read "The Witchery of Archery" by Maurice Thompson much of the lessons of Archery he got came from the Seminoles while he was on a trip to Florida from Georgia.

[@anonymousthesneaky220]

@@1boortzfan Interesting! I'll have to check it out. I suppose it makes sense that a weapon so important to a culture would still be used, even after the people migrated from their traditional homeland. Especially since, for hunting, arrows were not made obsolete by guns, as they don't make huge noises scaring off game. My understanding was that, for warfare, only guns were used, so I guess I just projected that onto wider use as a whole, which is a mistake. Thanks for the info and the book recommendation!

[@1boortzfan]

@@anonymousthesneaky220 Maurice and Will Thompson were brothers from Ga. One of them( I can't remember which) was wounded in the War for Southern Independence. The book is well worth the read. I got my copy from 3 Rivers Archery.

Make video hunting deer how to aiming from on to tree

[@haoosc5017]

太牛逼了！awesome ！

[@2abuggy699]

Just because we can doesn't mean we should. Primitives had to hunt like this because it meant survival and it's the best technology they had. We shouldn't have to watch a bison take several minutes to bleed to death standing up because you can't guarantee the depth and accuracy of your weapon (although both shots were impressive).

[@jesuspaz795]

[@TheJonnyzeus]

Why shoot a bison?

[@Sciencediscovery11]

For food

[@The_SixShooter]

He hunt and make foods.

[@xburninginwaterx7959]

I think when you said "hunting make us feel the most human" I don't think it's the hunting it in the killing side I get that believe me and its a show of dominance over nature which is part of the human condition

[@Christopherson2006]

It's called the "thrill" of the hunt, not the killing for most people

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

Dominance over nature may be a part of the human condition, but only in that we literally are more advanced than other animals despite our limitations. We are physically weaker than any other megafauna, to compensate we have opposable thumbs, bipedal walking, full rotation in the wrists, and the ability to invent things such as these bows and atlatls that dominate the ecosystem. Now guns to hunt.

[@Sciencediscovery11]

It's the hunting, humans are omnivores and we have an instinct in us for hunting so when we get a successful hunt our brains release dopamine and serotonin which makes us feel good.
