Trad Gang

Traditional Adventures VII continues the legacy of promoting and preserving traditional bowhunting by participating with the wildlife, places, and people that help contribute to the future of our lifestyle.  Hunting is an instinct.  Traditional bowhunting is that instinct taken to an art.  This is a bowhunting DVD that simply documents a year in the life of a few average folks that don't hunt for a living, but rather live to hunt.  
We hope you will enjoy the bowhunting adventures for whitetails, black bear, hogs, turkey, rabbits, alligator, bull frogs, and  bowfishing for gator gar and carp, filmed in the wild, under fair chase conditions, no "high fences."  Trad. Adv. VII is just under 2 hours long of which 30 minutes is dedicated to kids hunting with their longbows.  There's plenty of beautiful whitetail bucks pursued in Iowa, Texas, and Connecticut.   There is a special three generation hunt with simple stick and string for American alligator...
We've read your thousands of emails and listened.  There's more over-the-shoulder spot and stalk hunting, less music, and less narration.  I have unofficially subtitled it "Sounds of the Hunt."  
We should be receiving copies ready for shipping to you by March 31st at the latest.  We have also received an overwhelming request to bring back our t-shirts.  
Special preorder pricing for Traditional Adventures VII DVD for Trad Gang members only:  $20.00 which includes shipping and handling to your door.  If you would like a t-shirt (green only), include another $10.00 and please remember to give us your shirt size.  L, XL, XXL available. Send check or money order to: p.o.box 317, Barkhamsted, CT. 06063
I would sincerely like to thank all of you for supporting our DVDs and inviting us into your lives over the years.  Bill Langer Bowhunting Productions was simply a grass roots movement to promote traditional bow hunting and create another voice for our children's hunting future.  Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to do so.

Izzy-alligators are a must at least once, not only the hunting but the meat is outstanding!

Looking forward to it buddy!   :campfire:

Can't wait Bill! I'm sure  it will be great like all of them!
Tony

Here's a picture of the dvd jacket.  Hope you like it.  Check out the big Texas 10pt that Roland Guerra shot.

That's a nice buck! When you heading back out west to show some of the other critters?

Great cover, Bill!  I can't wait to show off the DVD to family and friends!  I hope my hunts were a good addition?

Is that an invite Ryan, I have never hunted Utah???

Roland you are the star of the show, right after the kids of coarse!!

Looks great Bill! Can't wait for it to arrive.

Might need to borrow one of your cameras for my Shiras moose hunt in Wyoming (IF I get drawn)! Awe heck, I guess I should just buy one of the darn things.  Any recommendations on a good affordable unit?

Sure Bill. Come on out. But if Terry draws his tag, I would follow him around  :)

Yes sir Chad we will be on BQ5. Mr. Tom Phillips puts on a great show!....!!!!!!!!  ????? >>>>> <<<<<<<< wonder if I should get my hair done before BQ-5 ??????? bd

Terry you are welcome to borrow the cam again. The cameras we use are sony vx2100 and sell around $2200 last I checked. Honestly I am not sure what cameras are good and affordable, but it should have a 3ccd chip, optical steady shot and as big a lense as you can afford. Heck just buy an hd camera, I think we are gonna switch, very pricey-need to start doing side jobs!!!

Ryan-What we gonna hunt?

BD- Shave it bald and grease it up, diablo is getting older we may need to skin the bear and stuff you inside to get the "carry" footage this year...

Thanks for all the kind comments gents.  Here's a front and back picture of the t-shirts I sent you.  Thanks again folks, Bill

Bill, my check should be there soon, mailed it yesterday.   :thumbsup:  I remember when I first saw your little tiny classified in the back of TB magazine. Who'da thunk!

Bill
I gotta ask if the fly at the beginning of the trailer shows up later in the hunts? I liked it!

 :thumbsup:  

Doug

Hey Greg that was along time ago it seems, really only 13 years-1998. You are one of my oldest, I mean longest, well I mean you have been supporting my videos/dvds from the start. Thank you for that.

Doug the timing of that fly buzzing around the mic could not have been any better right!
"Sounds of the Hunt" There is alot of mother natures music in this one. The frogs on the gator hunt may just drive some insane...

PM Sent to ya Bill...

Had a date last night with my wife watching NEWEST Langer Production. Good Stuff.I really like the boy's FROG huntin.

That's allright Bill, you can call me old. I hit 50 last Nov. It's not to hard to support someone that does it right.  :thumbsup:  Whatever happened to the guy that was practicing thanking his advertisers at the end of the movie. That was funny stuff!

Greg
That was just that- ment to be funny!
I am not now, and have never been under contract with any sponsor,ever. Just like to thank the other good folks that provide great products and help get my dvds to all of you.
Thanks, Bill

It looks great Bill. I only got a chance to watch parts of it with my wife and son(it was Nicky's birthday yesterday). Amanda said, "Bill's a lot younger than I thought he'd be".
Turkey hunting this weekend(with video cameras along), will check out the rest on Sunday night, especially the deer section!


PS Thanks for including my warning(short draw) shot on the armadillo!I was hoping you were going to slow that down to capture him jumping the string.lol

Looks great cant wait to watch it!

You know Jim, I should have slowed that down so we could get a better picture of your "form".
 :biglaugh:   I guess Amanda is color blind when it comes to gray hair.  :biglaugh:  

Got it Jesse-it will go out in the am!
Bill

Excellent video Bill!  What a lot of fun. If you guys relish families hunting together, you'll love Bill's video series.

The T-Shirts are awesome. Tyler wore his to a school play last night and Jen put on her camo pink version when we got home and will be wearing it to track practice on Monday.

Please tell the family hello and give your dad a hug and tell him I said thanks for raising some great kids.

Will do Terry!
Thank you, Bill

Can't wait to get mine!

Definitely the best one so far!!
Going to watch the whole thing again tonight.
The bear hunt was really cool, some great footage and emotions to go along.
Nice to see the kids so involved,too.
Well done.

ttt

You don't want to miss this one!

sent the check today... will be checking the mail   :goldtooth:     can't wait!

Bill, I got the video and it is terrific. The kids are growing like weeds.Great to see all of them involved. Thats what it is all about!!!  Ed

Bill, I just watched it again with Tina, Tyler, and Jen. Be sure to tell Ben how much we liked his frog hunting!

Bill's kids have got a real future in trad bowhunting!  Wish there were more kids being brought up this way.  The DVD is great, Bill, thanks.

Great video again! I really like the shirt also.

Still waiting and I'm only a state away...

Thanks Guy's, very pleased that you enjoy the dvds as much as we enjoy making them.

Terry, Our little Benjamin is with out question a "natural" hunter. You can't teach the instinctive ability he has for shooting, hunting and the outdoors. Everyone that meets him and watches him shoot his bow comments on it. His older brother Billy, younger brother Garrett and little sister Brooke will sit back and send Ben in first after the squirrel, frog, chipmunk, fish etc. They know he is their best chance at a wildgame meal. He also cleans and cooks his own game dinners, usually over a fire in the back yard. Have I bragged enough yet?!(he is also a real "ham" on the cam)

Fred you should be getting the dvd any time now, please let me know if you don't.
Thanks again folks, Bill

Sent payment in today. Its ALMOST as exciting as waiting for a new bow!!

Sat down with Cade last night to watch it...outstanding!

Always very cool to see good friends on film     :thumbsup:    

If you're into trad bowhunting, and especially into getting the kids involved, this is a must have!

If you're a trad bowhunter that likes to see good footage, this one is a must have!

Lets just say this is a must have for any trad bowhunting DVD collection     :clapper:    

Thank you buddy for another great addition and for the cool T-shirt!

Bill, the segment of Ben getting so excited about shooting the big frog is priceless! Captures how all of us feel upon taking a great animal. Kids just let it show.

When's he gonna be ready to try for gators? I think Cade is up soon as well. I'm sure we could get them both plenty of opportunities.

Thank the lord..It came today..Yeah Baby...

Terry, Ben needs about another year before he tackles a gator I think. We have him training on Billy's "Biged" bow right now.

Guru, We will have to see about teaming up on gators with Ben and Cade. Those boys would have a heck of a time together.

What do you think Tdog??

Justed got done watching it..Two thumbs up..Ben hunting frogs was so cool it was great to see him come unglued when he shot that big frog. That brought back a flood of memory from being a kid with a stick bow..Along with your brother showing up in bear camp with your Dad. The interview in the bear stand with father and son was very touching. I'm not sure how they kept it together..Great job on this Bill..We need more video's like this.The best part was when each  of your kids had a leg while you where gutting that deer..Priceless..Is that why you have four? Good thinking..Hats off to you brother for showing our life style..The way it is.Keep them coming..

You bet buddy, Cade and Ben will be quite a combo!   Young Billy set the bar awful high!

Terry, Not sure when we can make it happen, but I hope soon!  Carp are just around the corner though    :archer2:

Thanks Tdog, that appreciation is a big part of why we keep doing it!

Guru, Billy made us all very proud, Ben is the natural hunter, but Billy is the natural athlete. If he wants something, he just puts in that "old yankee" work ethic and gets it done. Sorry I am bragging again.

Cade and Ben will get it done!

Bill

Great job again Bill! Looks like we need to get a few cameras out west, spice it up a bit  :)
Fantastic footage!

Ryan, my fingers are crossed for a Shiras moose tag in Wyoming and if I draw I'll be toting a Langer camera along and Jeff Holchin to run it!  :)

Bill, judging from the hat Billy wore in the video, I'm not sure he would like to be called an "old Yankee". Another great job. Lot of good footage and I appreciate the "less music". BTW, why did you pick the scene of Tom Phillips butt, walking into his double bull to put his name on the screen.   :bigsmyl:

We do need some western footage for the next one!

Hey Greg thats funny, I was thinking that as I typed it, Billy is a big sox fan. There was some other footage of T.P., but it was a little "shaky" so we went with his best side.  :biglaugh:

Bill,
Terrific video, love the music! My daughter swiped it already to show her friend in school who is a traditonal archery fanatic at 15.

We truely enjoyed having You, your Dad, Donovan and John come hunt with us. Next time you come you'll have to plan on bringing the family.

BTW love the buzzing fly  :D

Eric

I hope you draw Terry! Didn't Jeff hunt that unit a couple years back? I know BB helped, if I'm thinking of the samer guy. Aain great job Bill!  :thumbsup:

Eric
I'd like to come back and sit that hackberry again...


Good luck is right Terry, I hope you draw!!
Bill

Great video Bill!  Enjoyed having you guys aboard!  Hope to do it again soon!

Jack
That was the best day/night of bowfishing I have enjoyed yet!!
Thank you, Bill
