  • This week Fen and I are driving down the the Kissimmee Prairie in South Florida to meet up with our friends Scott Crippen of Lost Arrow Films, Flip Pallot, and Don Davis. We'll be traditional bowhunting hogs and deer from the ground in the south Florida scrub. I'm hunting with an osage selfbow, the same one I took on Alone Season 8, and Fen is hunting with a little sinew backed osage recurve bow. He's drawing about 30lbs at 26". His arrows are 700 spine Traditional Only carbon shafts, 50 grain insert and 150 grain Grizzly broadheads. This has got to be the craziest hunt I've ever seen! Spot and stalk wild hogs!
    Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

      @dakotah rose Right on. These are the types of videos that continue to teach me even as an adult, on what type of father to be, since I didn't have an example in my life. Hopefully, my kids will be thankful one day for me, showing them all things I didn't experience.

  • @clayhayeshunter
    @clayhayeshunter  Год назад +90

    Hey folks, thanks for watching! I know some of you will have questions about Fen's setup so here it is. He's shooting a sinew backed osage recurve pulling around 30lbs@26". The arrows are Traditional Only carbons from 3Rivers. Up front I've got a 50 grain insert and 150 grain Grizzly broadhead. The first hog went down within 30 yards, the second within 70 or so. The second shot broke a rib on entry and stopped in the opposite side of the chest cavity. The arrows were made by Andy over at AddictiveArchery.com
    Also, huge thanks to Scott Crippen for inviting us down to this amazing place. Scott is trying to build his RUclips Channel with some amazing traditional bowhunting content so please take a minute to head over to Lost Arrow Films and give him a sub. I see some great content coming!

    • @manuelgonzalezzambrano1989
      @manuelgonzalezzambrano1989 Год назад

      Hi Clay. 30 pounds is too little to kill a wild boar. Could it be that the issue is putting a lot of weight on the front of the arrow? Thank you very much for the video.

    • @soonerfrac4611
      @soonerfrac4611 Год назад +2

      @ Manuel González Zambrano
      Weight forward adds in penetration not detracts. Rearward weight causes the shaft to bend in the middle slowing momentum, increasing breakage, & decreasing stability in flight. A 30# draw will easily take game, many if not most Native American bows were either light weight in draw or highly inefficient at their weight, more likely both. Yet they consistently killed large game with them.

Keep up the awesome work and thanks for the great content!

    The lad is not so cautious with his shots. That's why he beats dad to the shot...and he connects also. The makings of a very good traditional bow hunter... I am sure there is still more on the ground for his father to teach him. We become good at what we do and we make our kids better. Your boy will become the sum of all you have done ..and then some Clay. I was lucky enough to have these moments with my son and daughter... they are priceless. Happy Hunting Clay and son!
