Title: watched the TG video tonight....
Post by: brent d. on October 02, 2007, 10:23:00 PM
My kids are all ready to go frog hunting now. ...That looks like a ton of fun. I am definitely going to have to do a little frog recon. Curtis I can see where you have been honing your shooting skills.
Awesome Africa footage with Denny Sturgis.
The whole thing was great and thanks for putting it together to all who took part. Cant wait till the next one.

Thanks Brent! I've been kinda silently waiting till a few members got the vid. I always see posts about frogging and also see pics of the frogs. They are fun to hunt no matter the size but I think there's gonna be some surprised folks when they see Texas frogs. Two is a meal. LOL!   :goldtooth:   CK

Curtis, Man I want to go froggin with you in one of your secret spots. I would have my taxidermist full mount one of those!

After the hunt on the TG DVD, I started knocking the tips off Wensel Woodsman broadheads. I love them, but the point curled on the waterbuck big time and slightly on the sable. Haven't had any problems since I dubbed them down a bit.

one of those was frogzilla. I was wondering how you got them to hold still Curtis. Are you sure those werent trained frogs?   :D

Post by: Littlefeather on October 03, 2007, 07:43:00 AM
Any time Denny! I've already told you before that you are welcome any time. I have a "secret spot" that is currently LOADED with those big frogs. We'll have to take the boat but the shooting should be non-stop. If not we'll just hit the pond behind the house.    :goldtooth:  

I absolutely loved the guinea shooting video you did! I've only shot em in the barn yard so I wouldn't have to listen to all that damn noise. HeeHeee! Good stuff!

Brent, the frogs rarely hold still in the daylight. You see me stalking them, right? What you don't see on the video is the 17 dozen that hit the water before I got a shot.  :D

Don't let the size of those frogs fool you. They jump the string something fierce.   :rolleyes:

Don't be letting ole Curtis pull a fast one on you guys. Those "big frogs" are really the product of an ingeneous use of mirrors. In fact, Texas is surrounded by a humongous mirror and in reality is only the size of Rhode Island.  :)

There was a few of them frogs that made me wonder though...how they let you shoot at them more than once!!!.....I think its just that you are such a sneak!

The video was awesome!  Thanks guys for taking the time to put it together.  It is nice to put faces with handles (names).  

I could listen to Charlie tell stories for a very, very long time!

What kind of squirrel was being used?  Never seen one like it.  Seemed to work really well!!

Mine came in the mail yesterday. The only problem is my wife took it and said she was going to give it to me for a birthday present. So now I have to wait two and half months to watch it   :banghead:

Dang Bill that will seem like an eternity!  You might have to give her some money and send her shopping.  There can only be many places she could hide it right.  Find it, watch it and put it back.

Watched the video last night. Excellent job all the way around  :clapper:  . A big thanks to all who were involved in bringing it to us.
I have to say when Gary zooms in on that frog sitting on the bank with arrows all around him and Curtis shoots and splits the arrow above him, Gary's comment was priceless, he didn't even blink. I thought I was going to laugh my *** off. Great video guys.
I think I might like to have a crack at some big Texas frogs like that....

Post by: Littlefeather on October 04, 2007, 04:17:00 PM
LOL! Looks like 7Th Age Bowhunting is going to have to add a species to the hunt packages. Dad and I have lots of night time frog video that you don't get to see in the Tradgang vid. Shooting them from a lighted boat at night sure adds another perspective to it all. As Jason Westbrock and Charlie Lamb both know personally.   :saywhat:    Glad to know you all are enjoying the vid.   :bigsmyl:

Got mine last night and watched it.  Loved it.  I think the bonus stuff in itself is worth the price of admission.  Great job.  Well edited too.  Nice bit of gymnastic shooting Terry.  The minimum movement tip is a good one.

The only suggestion I would make for the next one is during the Charlie Lamb storytelling time, please occassionally go back to the picture that is the subject of the story, with overdubs.  Especially if he refers to something in the picture.  Saves having to rewind to see what he's talking about.  :)

Watched mine yesterday.Great video,excellant tips and all around good entertainment.I think the best part for me is the fact that its just some good owe bowhunters doing what they do.No acting or fancy photgrahy just haveing fun.I like the clip with Dean Torges toteing a five gallon bucket full of arrows.The frog hunting was very cool and I always enjoy watching Denny hunt.The best tip in the video IMO was Terry's shooting alignment and minimum movement.I think thiswill help alot of shooters when they have a visual to relate to.Job well done guys.tradrick

Thanks again guys and gals for the posts and emails about the DVD....ya never know about these things.  Tom is tickled as well.

We'll do it again soon....

And to beat it all...looks like Curtis is gonna book some frog hunts....who'd have thunk it???  :D

Post by: Swanny in MD on October 07, 2007, 05:04:00 PM
Twas Good...looking forward to the next.  

Thought it was interesting how Terry checks the sharpness of his broadheads by running his finger down the blade lengthwise instead of across it.  Everytime he did it my body literally would tense up expecting to see some blood.   :)

Squirrel unting with the old Geesers was my favorite.  Wonder how they made that call?
Title: Re: watched the TG video tonight....
Post by: Tom Mussatto on October 07, 2007, 05:14:00 PM
Glad to see folks are enjoying the video. These things are always a crap shoot and you never know for sure how well they will be received. A lot of work went into it in a relative short period of time for a project such as this.

I too was surprised there was no deer footage, seeing as how that is what most of us spend our time doing. Hopefully there’ll be some in a future project if Terry decides to take the plunge again. Pack those cams along on your hunts...... just in case.

Thanks again to all those who generously provided the footage and the music, and gave us a free hand to use as best we could. It was fun to work with.

Post by: Terry Green on October 07, 2007, 05:26:00 PM
Kenn,

The secret is having the right angle, and very light pressure as to only cut a few layers of skin.  With light pressure and the correct angle, you can see how far down the blade you get before your skin starts to slice.  The shorter the distance of travel, the sharper the blade.

Watched mine this weekend! One word...Fantastic!! What a great job everyone involved did. One of the better hunting videos out there.

Thank you Terry, Tom and EVERYONE else who was involved in the planning, submitting, making, ordering, shipping of this VERY fine video. I'm definitely anxious to see the next volume.
