Adjam5 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I posted a while ao that I ordered and got a Howard Hill DVD on Ebay. "The Last Wilderness" 90mins I have to say it was the best $20 bucks I ever spent. There is some really great footage of one of greatest archery hunters of all time. The camera work was a little crude, but the nararation(sp?) by Mr Howard Hill himself was awesome. They catch a bobcat and coyote fighting, Mr Hill takes the cat while they are fighting, then takes the mate of that bobcat a few minutes later. They catch a male and female bear fight til the death, male wins and he puts the 3 toed male bear on his hit list , because by killing the sow , it left 2 cubs abandoned. Mr Hill is out collecting specimiens for a museum, so he is out in Wyoming hunting to accomplish that. Later in the DVD Mr Hill gets that 3 toed bear with the kill on camera. Great stuff. This man was TRULY amazing with the longbow. He takes rattlesnakes and lots more with his bow. This may be old news for fans of Howard Hill, but by chance, someone who bowhunts might come accross this post and look up just who this man was, and what he did for the sport of Bowhunting as we know it today. For those that don't know...He did the archery shooting in the old movie "Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn. He makes me want to go traditional and hang up the Mathews! There are 3 more DVD's I understand. It looks like I may have to get the other 3 too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: Howard Hill DVD, The Last Wilderness I just ordered another one of Howard Hills DVD's "Hunting and fishing with the bow and arrow" Another Ebay purchase...but I got this one alot cheaper than the other one I bought. Got this one for $11.95 The 1st one 17.95+ship. Looks like I will collect all 4 of his DVD's. I will give a review of this DVD after I watch it. "Tembo" is the next one, it is about an Elephant bow hunt...with traditional archery gear...a LONG BOW! Check out Howard Hill if you don't know who he was... He is the Father of American Bowhunting... Way before Fred Bear, Ben Pearson. The Nuge for one...always says when he draws his bow " Howard Hill, Fred Bear and Ben Pearson" Howard Hill is right up there with "Ishii". Now don't tell me you don't know who Ishii was? Come on....

Adjam5 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Howard Hill DVD, The Last Wilderness Monster bucks is good...but this stuff was cutting edge at the time. Here is some info on Ishii Last of the Yahi tribe Pope and Young took this man from the Ca mtns and picked his brain about how the indians hunted and made bows. He was the last of his kind.
