It's the video that came out last summer, filmed from the fall of 2003. I can't remember what # it is, mabey someone else will know.

From watching the Primso guys in action for as long as I have, I would say I don['t believe it happens much with them. These guys are all competent accomplished hunters they normally take good shots and make good decisions and I have watched a lot of hours of footage. I think this just didn't happen to be one of those good decisions and they choose to show it to show that sometimes they screw up just like everyone else rather thean cutting it. JMO

silentassassin,

I've watched a ton of Primos Videos too, and this is also the 1st I've seen in any of them filmed of taking a "common sense(IMO)" bad shot and basically claiming it as a good one. So overall I'm happy with their video's, just very suprised on this hunt.

As far as turning new people on to hunting I agree. It shows the excitment and thrill of the hunt. What I think is bad for hunting is I see a lot of of less then ethical shots on tv and IMO it fules the antis. I watch a show on OLN (i think it was something like "We were hunting" or something of the like. The hunter shot a a big buck walking very quickly. He didn't try to stop it but let the arrow fly. Wounded the deer but said immediately "That was a poor shot" the gave the deer some time, tracked it and spotted it 60-70 yards ahead bedded down very much alive. They backed out and explained the situation and then recovered the deer in the morning. I respect the guys for telling it how it is. I can think of shows where the stick a deer in the hind quarter, says it's a great hit and then produce a diffrent deer for the recovery shot. IMO that's bad for hunting. I should have been more specific in my critisism.

Micheal Waddel's shot on the turkey out of the tree was legal in the state he was hunting in. And it wasn't roosting at the time either, it was flying from tree to tree as he called it from his position at the bottom of that ridge.

Overall, IMO the realtree guys do a good job of producing good and informative videos.

And the same with the primos guys.

My only comment is that I don't like calling these guys pros. What makes them a professional? Anyone with the money and the desire can go out and make these videos and sell them. That hardly makes you a pro. They may be a professional photographer or marketer, but being a pro at hunting is not a requirement to make these videos.

In additon, the more involved in the making of these videos, they more likely someone is going to do something you consider unethical. Ethics do differ.

I saw a show last fall wher the guy shot an antelope at 500yards with a 22/250, he hit it low. It took around 6 hrs to find him for another shot. Isn't a 22/250 a varmit gun?

ive seen that video with brad farris, its also on their dvd big game out west. one thing i think nobody is considering here is how small an antelope actually is. head on, im sure that arrow hit lungs, heart if it was low enough, liver, possibly some big arteries, and the paunch before it exited out the back. a sure killing shot, one i have seen more than once out here. i dont think it was an unethical shot at all.
just my 2 cents worth
