You mentioned how if you had the opportunity and the people you would make a net and walk the creek it would definitely be cool to see a video on making a natural cordage net and then fishing with the net
I will never forget my first time bow fishing in a billabong, modern/ish gear shortly after my 10th birthday.
We spent 2 full days wading around losing arrows before we met an Indigenous local who gave us a 20 minute crash course in REFRACTION, and just like that we couldn't miss.
All he had to do was hold up the arrow and say is it straight ?
Then put it in the water half way and ask does it still look straight ?
Simple, life changing.
Now that looked like a heap of fun
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in history videos
Dang man I'm jealous! I bow hunted fish when I was a kid until they made it illegal in any state park where I live. Every body of water is in a state park. I love this video!
So much fish in a shallow water.... Amazing to watch those bow fishing ❤
Another awesome hunt/video! Super fascinating & exciting to watch. Would love to see you do an updated primitive trapping series for small to large game species!
Watch out for Snakes and Alligator Snapping Turtles in those ditches!!!
I used to gig bullfrogs and trap crawdads in waters just like that.
keep up the great videos!
I love the croccasins man!
the best bow history and bowhunting channel on youtube no doubt. Loved this upload Gill, thanks.
Here in Oklahoma we call that drag net you were talking about makin a sein. Used to use one as a kid to catch trot line bait
I think it was just too many tips on that spear. You are hitting them with a bed of nails instead of 3-4 points. Its hitting them just not penetrating because of too much surface area.
I just picked up the iPad to write the exact same thing. Max three points would probably work better.
Also if they were using nets, the nets would be stationary with a few people walking them into it, rather than as he said dragging nets
you should really have your own tv show so cool
Hey Ryan! I've been doing my own archery gear for about 19 years. Got curious on cattail shoots. Wondering your thoughts on them cause I'm impressed with how they turn out for me. Think you might be interested in doing a video on cattail arrows?
I can tell from my over 30 years of primitive archery experience that cattail reeds won't make a good arrowshaft! They're way to brittle and weak to survive being shot from a bow! River cane is a far better choice for arrows!
I use the same river cane spear but I use metal for the tips. I know that’s not primitive but they work great
Another nice video thanks
FUN!!!! As a kid I use to shoot 30lb carp from the bow of a boat. Big fiish! "He can't stay down, not with 3 barrels he can't"!
Great video Ryan. This is a great demonstration on how the bow is superior to the "fish stick". Keep it up!
Man that was fun to watch!
If you wet the antler it cuts far easier. Wood can be heat tempered in a fire. Makes it far more durable.or use hardwood Hunters used to kill mammoths with heat tempered wooden spears
Hello Ryan, can you please do a video on where you aim, when see the fish... figure it might be difficult to explain.
But can maybe help noobs like me, that have bow skill/accuracy, but no hunting experience.
have you tested gar scales as arrowheads ? you can grind the edges pretty sharp , they work better with the natural serrations removed i believe .. nice catch and good shootin !
Gonna be making one of those
So cool
Have you tried fire hardening wood points for bow fishing? I've had luck with that also alternatively sealing the end grain with an oil soak to increase water resistance.
Felicitaciones. Vives la historia, la cacería y las armas al más puro y antiguo estilo. Tus vídeos son muy interesantes, muy instructivos, ojalá pudieras hacer una versión doblada al español o subtitularlos en español, sería maravilloso. Si tienes algún vídeo donde enseñes a hacer esas flechas con punta desmontable y cambiable sería muy útil si nos dejas dicho cuál es. Éxito y saludos cordiales desde San Francisco de Campeche, en el sureste de la República Mexicana.
Good stuff ryan
Wow hunt❤👌
Cattail arrows? Video?🙏
You ought tie some of the fish and Dead rabbits to your legs and see if you can attract a couple of big Gators
Do you think maybe you had too many spikes on that spear causing lack of penetration ?
10:15 the bigger fish looks like a European carp, here in Australia they are an invasive species clogging up our waterways horrible bloody things !
Your bow prices are insane. Well over 1k. Only 1 model sub 1k. damn dude...
if a tv program picked you up all of you would be rich but i know its about education with you but its cool.
👍
Is it really primitive hunting when you use modern technology in the hunt? nice to have had polarized sunglass a 1000 or more years ago eh!
It must have been a buffalo carp
I don't respond good success with a 4-prong gig
Now you know why I carry a can of pork and beans😝🤦🏼♂️🤠
Too many points on your fish gig. Three is plenty.
