Hey...wouldn't you like to see this video :thumbsup: . Now all we have to do is convince Barry. I think it would be great to have the original cast of characters from Bowhunting October Whitetails I doing the same video now that a few years have gone by...that would be great...
Yes Berry you need to get started.If you need some humor i will join you.
Would like to see that also. So when is it due out in DVD.
Thats Funny I was sick yesterday and watched Number 1 and 2 and i also think Barry should get ou there an make another with the original cast.
Yep......that one would no doubt be a hoot as well!
Dont forget the part with the dip cup!
I agree! Most videos nowadays are the same... Intro, here comes the deer, kill shot, recovery, next hunter. There's more to the hunt than that, which is pretty much the definition of traditional bowhunting in my mind.
Any video that can show that, like BOW, belongs in my library.

I watched it today!! I plowed snow last night and popped it in the DVD player to wind down. Love those videos!! B.O.W.III would be awesome!!
Hope they leave out the cornfield scene. Never did master that one!
is Rick Blase still around ? Seems like i heard a few years back that he wasn't bowhunting anymore
I bought a combination DVD with both I and II on it and II shows up in the menu but doesn't play on my DVD player. I should have never gave my VHS copies away. III wiuldn't be a bad idea but I think They should do a DVD collection of their Scouting Boot Camps and a Companion DVD to Come November. just my two cents.
Sounds like a great idea to me I would love to see the old gang back again.

Same thing with my double DVD....No HOW II,I was pretty bummed about that.Not sure what's up with it not being there..........like you said it's on the menu but doesn't play.
Let's all go watch Primal Dreams. Though anything Barry does is worth watching. Frank
Thanks for all the kind words on our old productions. When a person views the originals nowadays they're a little embarrassing compared to the quality works put out today. But if you realize when these productions were filmed you'll realize they were way ahead of their time. I'm extremely proud of the fact (I'm told) they apparently changed some peoples lives forever to the positive. For those of you who received DVDs with both BOW I & II and the second half isn't on there, this is the very first time I've heard of this and obviously a defect. By all means, if you return them to me as defective I'd be more than happy to replace them free. Thanks. BW
Mr Wensel
What ever happened to Rick Blase????
I learned all I know from your early videos!
You are Mr Bowhunting to me.
Thanks
Bob Macioch
I had the problem with my I & II combo when I first played it. All that I did was go back to the main menu and it was there.
So, when can we expect number III!
The video I'd really like to get my hands on is the Instinctive Shooting video that Barry put out with Rick Blase. It was part of a series put out by whitetail visions, I think it cost less than 10 bucks and was better than anything I've seen since. I lent mine out and have been looking for another one for at least ten years.
Rick Blase is alive and well living in South Carolina. Gene Bidlespacher to my knowledge is still living in Montana. There are no plans for any sequels. Good productions take years to make. Speaking for myself, I presently have many irons already in the fire. Spreading myself any thinner would be bad for my weight. Thanks very much for the kind words though. BW
Barry, Just to let you know i saw Bowhunting I, when i first got into bowhunting at a young age. It was and still is the very best i have ever seen. I also have watched my copy of Instinctive shooting time and again and it is one of the reasons i went to shooting Trad. These videos are unparralled in there ability to showcase real hunting, and real people. Thank you so much for the enjoyment i get each time i watch them. God Bless.
The watermelon scene is the funniest thing I've seen in my 46 years on this earth and I've seen some funny ****. I think I'll watch it tonite when I finish fleshing coons. Trap
I wish the outdoor channels would play some of those. They are my all time favorites and I still am impressed with you and your brother's shooting. I wasted some good years on compounds around that time. I'm here now and very thankful to rub cyber shoulders with you guys.

Barry gives shooting instructions in Masters of the Bare Bow 2 and Gene is in MBB1. You can get them at 3-rivers.
No thanks........I've seen 'em both shoot....
I remwmber wathching October Whitetails as a child, it started a fire that only grows I actually wore the tape out and my mother was gonna die if she had to watch it again, in my opinion is was and still is the best video ever made. I thank you gentlemen.
How bout telling us some stories from BOWI Barry? Where was the video shot? Didn't they mention NY in the video? What lead to the video being done? Any "stories", etc. It is a classic for sure if not the best bowhunting video.
I have the double DVD also. My #2 plays fine, but there is no voice audio on the #1.
I always wondered what happened to Ronnie Brown. Is he still alive after riding on the back of that truck with the sprayer?
I think Barry is WAY shortchanging those old vids re their quality, especially BOW I. The technology might not have been as 'fancy' but the organizational work, narrative, mix of solid facts/humor and especially the outstanding footage (like that all-time classic running shot with the follow-up eyebrow wiggle)...well those are just the best. Like a favorite old bow or camp recipe there's something about those videos that 'fit' just right. I really enjoy the Wensel/Blase 'skits'. No info-mercials or ego crapola, just alot of fun in the woods...and good shooting to boot.
Like GregD said, I sure wish I had bought the Barry/Blase 'Instinctive Shooting' vid when I had the chance a few years back. It was all of $5 on the trade blanket table for crying out loud...but NOOOOooooooo, I think I'll just look around awhile and maybe pick up on the way back through. Yeah, like its still going to be there! (just put me in the home for the galactically stupid). :banghead:
Great vids. Like the saying goes, they just don't make'em like they used to.
Count me as a fan of BHOW I & II. BHOW one was the very first hunting video I ever saw. I now have them on DVD. They still hold up against the more "modern" DVD's.
I too can speak the phrases for Bowhunting October Whitetails I and II. As a kid, I learned bowhunting all on my own with only books and videos. It took years for things to finally come together. The segment on whitetails jumping the string changed by bowhunting forever. All these years later I still remember.... After 4-5 years of watching my arrows fly over the deers back, sometime literally emptying a quiver full of 6 arrows on a single deer, I rented a copy of BOW I on a Friday. The very next day, a 17" wide eastern 5pt buck and three does passed my stand. I aimed low and watched my arrow disappear into the elusive brown shoulder of that buck at 22 yards. 75 yards later, I was the happiest 15 year old you ever saw. 4 years of shooting over their backs had come to an end. I watched the video again after returning home that day. I couldn't believe it worked. The following Saturday, another plump 5pt walked by my stand at 15 yards. Again I aimed low only to watch the buck drop right into the path of my arrow. The Zwickey zipped right through high in the shoulder. One copy of the Bowhunting October Whitetails video, many years of misses and 2 bucks in two hunting days for a 15 year old. Thank you Barry, Gene, Rick and everyone else involved. You definitely helped create a bowhunter for life. Sincerely, John
I'm tickled everyone enjoyed them so much. If you guys remember, when they first came out you could choose between VHS or Beta formats. I think they sold for $39.95 (almost $80. for two) and now you can get both of the original BOW I & II on one DVD for $13. One of the few things in life that's less expensive. Trap: the watermelon scene was for real. That was not acting. It was one take, as it happened. That's probably why it came out so well. Lin Rhea: what's a cyber shoulder? GrnMtnTradNut: there used to be a great rutting area near you at Green Mountain College when it was an all-girls school and I was in my prime. Mike Huff: I could tell you some stories but they'd be better around a campfire. Most of the footage was shot in eastern Montana (Milk River, Yellowstone River and Missouri River bottoms) and the hardwood scenes were in PA. Buckracks7: send the defect back for a new one.. no problem. Last I heard Ronnie Brown was still living in N.C. In fact, Rick Blase's brother Al will be hunting hogs with Gene and I at our pig-gig in Texas in a couple weeks, so I should be able to catch up on a lot of gossip after that. Again, thanks for all the nice comments. And... all that fancy shooting?? It was all trick photography and done with mirrors. There... I fessed up and now I feel better. bw
Doggone Barry that is so generous of you to replace the DVDs. Would you pm me an address to send it to, please?
Where can I buy the combo set? Thanks.

The cornfield hunting technique is the only time I ever saw somebody explain how to hunt cornfields...even to today. The scene with the buzzards was such a genuinely funny deal it always makes me smile. This will be a timeless classic for many years to come...long after Barry's gas tank runs dry. What part of PA? I am in Lehigh County on the Eastern part of the state. Great stuff :thumbsup:
It was Lycoming County, north of Williamsport. Rose Valley near Trout Run. In fact, I shot a buck from a tree that is presently under water in that reservoir that's up there now. bw
BARRY I ALSO LEARNED ALOT FROM YOUR TAPE.MY FAVORITE SCENE WAS BARRY TROLLING FOR BUCKS WITH ALL THE SHEDS TIED TOGATHER.THAT IS FUNNY.THANKS JAMES :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
