| i have to admit probably the best whitetail video out has got
to be MANATOBA MONSTERS, if you guys haven't seen this then I urge
you to rent it, theres not a buck shot that scores under 150 and
its shows the entire hunt all on snow conditions and how these
outfittersdo it. their not your high class guides either these guys
are real woodsman. write back and tell me what you think of this
film.

| 155.2 | Some of the "winners" that I've seen | ELMO::HOLLEN | Trapper | Fri May 20 1988 11:36 | 24 |
| A couple of winners:
"Monarchs of Alberta" is a dandy. All B&C whitetails here too.
One of the guides is Russell Thornbery who is written up pretty
often in Petersens "Hunting" magazine.
An excellent bow hunters video is "Bowhunting October Whitetails".
This one has Barry Wensel in it and that should tell you that it's
worth the rental fee! Everyone I know who has seen it has been
mighty impressed...
For those who have yet to take a deer, or just want some good
tips on how to prepare a deer from the time the bullet puts him
down, till it's on the table, get "Dressing, Skinning, and But-
chering your Deer" (I think that's the title). The only thing I
didn't like about it is that the guy in the film is a profession-
al butcher, and because of this he does everything with a band
saw. It would've been better had he used tools that the everyday
hunter has, but that's a small point.
Any others out there?!

| 155.3 | wing shooting and dog training | SMURF::JUCH | | Tue Jun 07 1988 14:37 | 24 |
| I recommend "Game Shooting" produced by Holland & Holland/Shooting
Times. This British production covers driven pheasant, driven grouse,
and rough (walkup shooting with a dog) shooting. The format introduces
the field sport and then goes back to the shooting school to show
how it should be done.
The techniques are not applicable to US trap and skeet but they
certainly are to our hunting. The instructor they use, Ken Davies,
is chief instructor at H&H. Even if you don't use the technique,
the glimpse they give of British hunting is fascinating.
The price has been reduced to $49.95; there's usually an ad in
Gun Dog or Sporting Classics for them. The same people are bringing
out new videos on Sporting Clays and I believe on Retreiver Training
or some such.
Speaking of Dog Training, I've seen the Gun Dog magazine tape on
training and I wasn't all that impressed, that is, it did not hold
my attention even though many of their techniques are innovative
and valuable. There is a two tape series on "Quail Hunting" by
some southerners (Alabama?) which has some good shooting sequences
but also is entertaining. They have an excellent sequence on force
breaking retreiving. Sadly, they have excellent dogs even though
they aren't steady to shot.
If people are interested I'll get the full scoop on these tapes.

| 155.4 | Lets see good dog work. | BPOV08::J_AMBERSON | | Tue Jun 07 1988 15:13 | 14 |
| Along the same line as Bill's comments, does anyone know of some
_good_ videos on training labs? All the ones I've seen were very
basic. I rented one which was titled "Advanced Retriever Training".
There idea of advanced traingin was a dog that could do doubles.
To me, advanced training means multiple marks, blinds, diversion
birds, honoring, steady to flush, etc. It would also be nice to
see a duck or goose video where the labs didn't break and would delivere
to hand. The narators always comment on the "fantastic dog work".
Meanwhile, the dog is breaking on every shot, can't handle a blind,
and drop[s the bird 5 ft in front of the handler. Makes me wonder
if they have ever seen a really good dog. Am I too particular in
what I expect a dog to do? Comments?

| 155.5 | which one? | CLUSTA::STORM | | Fri Jun 17 1988 17:05 | 10 |
| Jeff, There are a couple of videos out with titles very similar
to that. I have one by 3M/Scientific Anglers. I don't think it
dealt with honoring or steady to flush, but the dogs didn't break
and definitely delivered to hand. I can't remember too many details,
since I'm still on the "Basic" tape. The guy has yellow labs.
You're welcome to take a look at it if it's not the one you've seen.

| Jeff,
Have you ever seen Ken Roebuck's training tape? Is it any
good? I have his book Gun Dog Training Spaniels and Retrievers
and like it.

| Linda,
I have a copy of Roebuck's Spaniel training tape if you would like
to borrow it.
Mark,

| 155.8 | How 'bout it, Jeff? | CLUSTA::STORM | | Wed Jun 22 1988 11:40 | 7 |
| Hey Jeff, when are you going to start making your own video's?.
There's obviously a shortage of good advanced tapes here, and from
the stories I've heard about your dogs, it should be a sure bet
:-)
Mark,

| Nah, I have a hard enough time getting them to perform for just
me, let alone having them do it on camera. Besides, who wants to
watch a Lab run rabbits 8*).

| Well if anyone does, Freda would be happy to oblige.
Squirrels to, with a minimum amount of encouragement.
I keep telling her she's too expensive for that. ;^)

| 155.11 | Hunting Ringnecks.... | KAYBEE::SAMIAM | I do so like Green Eggs and Ham | Thu Aug 18 1988 10:07 | 17 |
|
I rented 'Hunting the Elusive Ringneck' last night.
After putting the dog(s) thru his(their) evening
workouts, my kids graciously relinquished use of the VCR to
me to view the tape.
If you enjoy listening to three men discuss their preference
in dogs, (I can do that with the folks I hunt with), or their
choice of guns ( see above ), etc., etc.... This tape didn't hold my
attention for more than five minutes at a time. The actual
hunting footage was minimal (too say the least).
My advice is don't waste the two bucks.

| 155.12 | Hunting the Elusive Ringneck | DECWET::HELSEL | Well....isn't that special? | Thu Aug 18 1988 14:40 | 9 |
| re: .11
That was the movie I referred to in .0.
It was so bad I almost demanded my money back.
Worst sporting movie I ever saw!
Brett.

| 155.13 | Help! | DECWET::HELSEL | A thousand points of lightwt threads | Tue Apr 25 1989 13:11 | 14 |
| I'm looking for help here.
I saw a movie last year on Mule Deer. The movie was filmed mostly
in an are of Montana called Flathead Lake or "the Flathead" and a
little bit of it was filmed in Jackson Hole. The movie was shot mostly
during winter migration and had scenes of these huge-racked mulies
moving South in the snow. Also, there was a great segment on rattling.
All of the footage was shot in winter or at least in snow-on-the-ground
conditions. I would say the movie is about 2-3 years old.
Has anyone seen this movie and can someone tell me the name of it????
