Hey all, here is the trailer for the new DVD coming out January 2010. It has been a long road with many ups and downs, but rewarding none the less.
Back when I started the project I thought to myself, how hard could it really be to still get these bucks, but now just with a camera and camera man, and then edit it all together... My goal was to put together a video showcasing big whitetails. Not just any DVD, but set a new bar for Archery Whitetail Videos. Lord its a totally different game with that camera man, one that is challenging, but I have come to love.
Anyway, have a look, I hope you enjoy. I owe a lot of thanks to alot of people along the way, without their help I would have been lost in the process, good friends and good hunters like my close friend Steve, and especially Jason Peterson and the rest of the guys at HCABTV, and everyone here at friendly menoutdoors.com for following the adventures and all the incredible thoughtful comments on our "success" threads. Also thanks to the hunters that took me up on my offer when I invited them to spend a night....or 40 in a tree chasing some bewildered buck.
I had the pleasure of taking my first girl hunter with her dad on a hunt. Nichol age 16 had never shot a deer and wanted very much to do so. After having passed up a few deer over the first few days, it came down to the last evening . That morning after seeing a large buck the evening before we decided to sit him out and hope he would show himself, but would not be fussy.
Here is the video of a girls first deer. Please enjoy and by responding share in her happiness.

Hunting Caribou has been a dream of mine since I watched a show a few years back as I was floored by the rawness of the natural surroundings and the seemingly endless stream of caribou....
Well when ol' Buck1979 couldn't make the hunt I jumped at the oppurtunity to film for HCAB. Never seeing a caribou in my life, and never being that far north had me pretty jacked....to say the least.
At the float plane base we bs around the map of where we are heading...
Pellat Lake awaits
After a 1.5 hr flight we touch down at camp..
Camp is a very relaxing place. I learned Inuit people are very quiet, humble and extremely hard working....they are remarkable story tellers...
As soon as we get there, we get broken the news by our head guide Sam that there is no caribou, and we have to head up lake A long long way, and portage to Kontwoyo Lake, then another long trip till we find caribou. Say goodbye to the nice comfortable camp, hello spike camp. So we took the oppurtunity that night to fish in the little lake behind the cabin, caught some grayling and lakers, and also got educated on the bug situation...NASTY!!!
Next morning, bright and early, we set off on an all day adventure to get to spike camp...
We made it, and let me tell ya, spirit was high when we could see caribou 4 miles across the lake...
Finally got hunting on the afternoon of the 3rd day in Nunavat. Our feerless leader Sam had enough of sitting around......out we went in the wind and rain, and it was well worth it....we saw hundreds of caribou, and I put the first one down...
Next day Jason took a beauty!!
And later that day I connected with the bow..
3rd day of hunting, it happened. We saw literally thousands of caribou and had them streaming all around us....an experience I truly will never forget. I hope the footage grasps what we saw-caribou after caribou, making the migration to their winter grounds. We had our fair share of bow opportunities, and although we didn't connect, that few hrs in the rock pile with animals as close as 5 yards, was the high point of all my hunting experiences.
Last day of hunting we were faced yet again with bad weather, and finally at 5pm Sammy boy said lets give it a whirl.....as we had one more bull to harvest. Wasn't long we found a beautiful video oppurtunity and Jason made no mistake.....
Check out these pic of the boys from Utah that made the adventure with us..
After a long week we were happy to see our plane..........and let me tell ya a shower never felt so good...
How bout our Redneck bubble rap...
Without a doubt, if you are looking for a hunt of a lifetime, think long and hard about heading to the Canadian arctic to hunt Caribou.........its well worth it
Watch for this episode on Hunting Canada and Beyond in the new year!
