Nope, and none of the pre-orders have gone out either. They had some trouble with the "replication" that was of a quality that Gene, Barry and the Mitten brothers wouldn't stand for. There has been a post ongoing and Mike Mitten has kept us up-to-date while Gene and Barry are in Texas....chasin' hogs.
It will be well worth the wait when we get them.

The last post I saw from Mike said they should receive them from the replicator around Feb. 24. I would guess it will take them several days to get them packaged and shipped. I won't begin the stake out at the mailbox for a few more days.

As Mr.23 stated we watched the Essential Encounter DVD last night and to all IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT and there was never any doubt in my mind that it would be. Well Done to "The Brothers of the Bow". Thank you for your investment of time & resources along with the desire to share it with all of us through film & spoken word. This DVD captures it all with several dynamics going on and not a single thing could have been seen as "unimportant". Every person, scene, clip, image, and contribution made this DVD what it is, including the Bonus DVD...
Again, Well Done & Thank you :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My wife is out of town so the kids and I had "movie night" last night. My 12 yo son and 10 yo daughter were mesmerized for two solid hours!
It is amazing to me how they blend all those fantasic animals, both trophy and unique, along with the spectacular scenery and music to tell the story of the hunt that matches our (the true hunter watching) heartfelt love of the outdoors. Watching it for the second time, I noticed the deer were walking or running with the beat of the music and sometimes the small game animals or deer in the background of the featured animal were showing the "emotion" we as humans would portray. My kids could not get enough of the bears fishing and "rocking out" to the music.
And EVERY word from the narrator said EXACTLY how I feel about bowhunting.
I am so proud of the "Brothers of the Bow". Gene, Barry, Mike, David, and even Mark :p , thank you for giving us something that we can confidently hand to anyone in the world and say, "this is why I bowhunt, this is what bowhunting IS!"

Still waiting here, can't wait! Mike, from the clip it looks like you called in that long tined brute with your several antlers tied together on a rope trick. Great idea, sure beats getting caught with bone in your hand instead of bow. jim

I'm sure hoping it plays.....the anticipation has been killing me.

Watched some of it yesterday. Had to stop watching it when my neck began to swell and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I realized October is so far away. Hard to look at those bucks without experiencing withdrawals.Beautiful footage so far. Ill probably get to watch the rest monday morning.

Watched mine last night. Class all the way as I would have expected from Gene, Barry, and the Mittens. They did an excellent job including the kids in the film. I think that really added to the overall human connection to nature, family, and hunting.
