Not only did we get a kill with a 80s bow also got the grainy footage like it was a 80s VHS. 10/10 job guys 👍🏻😂
Old School
I can say personally I get hunt with a bare bow and that was actually one of my first beer pose I've ever owned in my life back in 89 I took a bull elk you know it's aero dynamically fit !! They shoot well!! But of course it's all about the Hunter and the person that's holding it and now we are nowadays we have all these high style bows aerodynamic nothing's really changed on them it's just the style really is where it's at and those bear bows you could shoot a Target at 40 yards and have a good impact and that's totally awesome that you guys are sharing this cuz the older the better they say in tools weapons those are the ones that have been holding on all these years and still will kill..
Thank you for sharing guys
You just need to run the head cleaner tape and adjust the tracking.
Remember, "Be kind, Rewind".
@@jasonhumphreys261 Be kind, please rewind.
The crappy low light footage even made it feel like it was an old 80s hunting VHS tape that I used to watch with my dad. Loved it haha. Congrats guys. My old man still has his Bear Whitetail II hanging up at his house 😂
Im old now and started with a recurve and hunted with most of these old bows and arrows and i also have used most broadhead styles. A lot of people comment that you need to use this weight arrow or these kinds of broadheads or this brand of bow.This video is the perfect example of it really doesn't matter what you shoot. Putting the arrow where it belongs is the most important thing. Learn what your efficient range is, learn what shot angles to take and tune your bow and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
My grandpa gave me his 1977 bear polar ltd earlier this year, I took it all apart and cleaned it up. I put new cables and strings on it, tuned and built some good heavy arrows for it 600 grains with 20% foc. I am using it this year and shooting it traditionally like my grandpa used to I've passed a few already but it's getting harder and harder. This is awesome and I enjoy seeing you guys try something that more people really should. Bows are over priced these days and you don't really need all the bells and whistles they have on them as long as you practice with whatever you have and are confident you can kill a deer with it. Good luck the rest of the season gentlemen I can't wait to watch one of you kill a nice one!
The Hunter is the most critical component, not the equipment, you proved that. I’m 74, that brings back a lot of memories for me, only my old equipment was mostly PSE.
Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine czcams.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
bot comment, shut up
Your absolutely killing me I’m 52 years old and this bow and set up is exactly what I cut my teeth with !! Unreal it was that long ago !! Love the video boys keep up the great work and if nothing else you just got yourself a hell of a boat anchor !!!!
im 51 had the same bow ran a homemade over draw made from a old erecter set with tm hunt rest tree bark and all. my dad got it for me shot autumn orange arrows with white fletching
im 52 too, and i have a 2011 pse stinger hp.
i assembled to a string stop(not in bow from factory) quality string, and there is very good bow.
They can’t even shoot one with a normal bow this year😂 Just kidding boys, we love the content whether you kill one or not.
All the guys should try that bow this season! Maybe make it a challenge and get other channels like The Hunting Beast or Seek One involved.
Amazing, I didn’t realize you could be a successful hunter without $5000 worth of gear!!!! Great video, and thanks for keeping it real.
Bear Whitetail II sales on Ebay after this video. 📈
I’m one of those old guys...actually started with a Bear Polar II. My brother and I combined our money to buy it, and would take turns practicing and eventually hunting with it. I liked Jennings the best, but went traditional after maybe four years with compounds. Zero let off! After a lifetime of bow hunting at age 61, I may have to take an easier route at some point. I enjoy watching y’all’s hunts, and keeping the sport going.
Some day young bucks are gonna look at the new bows these guys are using today and say the same thing Pope and Young wouldn't accept any buck with more than 65% let off until January 1 2004
I’m only 30 and I killed my biggest archery deer with this same bow 31 inch draw and 70 pound pull at 60 yards in 05 my friends dad give it to me and I got really good with it but too think someone could get a deer and only stay under 20 yards is Embarrassing too hear someone say. All this new 300+FPS stuff has really made ppl think the old stuff don’t work 😂 I’m young but old at heart. I just got a crossbow this year payed a lot for it and love it but practice in whatever you use is the key. I knew from the post they got one but hearing the worry was pretty funny. I’d have been like naw it won’t kill I’ll give u $2 and go kill one 😂
I'm 54 years old and I started out with the Bear Polar also! I still shoot Bear bows now I love them and they don't cost a lot either great video keep it up
My wife and I were laughing at the old bow stuff. I'm 75 and still bowhunt and my newest compound is a 1979 Jennings T-Star. I have five of them and they all shoot well. I also have a 1970 recurve I use. Enjoy, those old bows will do anything you need them to do. :)
My uncle brought mine when I was 15. Still hunting with it 33 years later. Three blade wasp . Probably not have watched 90% go down. New bows just make you miss quicker!! Older bows are the hammers of the woods!!
I was 15 when my father bought me my first bow, it was the Bear Whitetail II and for its time it was one of the most popular bows for hunting. I hunted with that bow for 5 years and never harvested an animal. My second bow at the age of 21 was a Pearson Spoiler Cam (1991) it was what I believe the first “speed bow” and I got my first deer with it. I still have both of those bows and have tons of memories using both. This was a great video, enjoyed it immensely.
Idk why but this thing just makes me smile. Would love to hunt with an older bow brings back memories of what I got started on.
That's the bow I started hunting with. You could literally watch the arrow all the way to the target. I kind of miss those days.
I'm 58 and that could've been the exact setup I had when I got that bow way back in the day. Right down to the yarn silencers! Great hunt boys!
You need a glove. LOL We didn't use releases back then. Easton XX75's with Bear broadheads were high tech back in the early 80's.
I didn't even use a glove, I had a finger tab and I shot 2117 Easton arrows my dad shot 2315 aluminum arrows.
I still prefer fingers over a release. Feels so much better. They should try it. Stinks a good finger bow is hard to find.
Need to add a Berger button and a Flipper II rest as well to shoot fingers!
Yeah I said in my comment I owned that same bow back on the 80’s.
And you’re right I had a 3 finger shooting glove and we Had one arrow string knock on the string. I put my arrows knock under the string knock and let gravity hold it in place. When i knocked them on the string and pulled arrow back with 2 fingers Index over the arrow and middle finger under the arrow knock. I used my ring finger to fit in the corner of my mouth as a anchor point to look down the arrow! I started bow hunting with a long bow before compound & Cam bows & site pins ever came out. So you had to learn how to shoot by aiming down the arrow what they call instinct archery 🏹 shooting. It took me forever to get used to the first site pins that came out that you mounted onto a slot in the bow body. These long site pins came out long before these new round sites with the pins in them now. Bows and bow hunting has come a long ways since I started hunting with a bow. But this Particular Bear bow he’s using in this video I had one and we used 3 long site pins 10-20-30 yards on that model & that’s all it was really good for 30 yards tops. The first Bear cam model I bought came up in speed and got us accurate to 40 yards. But like you said for him to be more 80’s era correct with that bow he should’ve used a 3 finger glove & drawed with 2 or 3 finger and used the long site pins instead of the new age site. Like I said in my comment above Easton sold us old Timers a ton of those aluminum arrows. Because that was before graphite arrows was mainstream and every arrow we released in the woods into a animal or we hit the ground with would crack, bend or break lol 😆. These young guys got it much better now, they got 300- 350 feet per second bows, trigger releases hooked to the wrist with 70-85 % let off. So on the draw weight they pull back they’re only holding back 10-20 lbs. They don’t know what holding back 65-70 lbs is like trying to get a good shot. I’ve spooked & lost some really good bucks back in the day. Because I had to let down the bow because my arm and shoulder was hurting so bad waiting on that Buck to turn just right for that perfect kill shot.
These bow hunters got it made in the shade bow hunting now.
Just when you thought THP couldn’t get any cooler, BAM!
I would really love to see a video on how you set up your pack. Primarily how you secure your climbing sticks.
Same!!
Wow started bow hunting in 84 I was 18 had a bow like that one couldn't hit the side of a barn took it to the bow shop guy said what happened to the cable guard I said what's a cable guard? Bow shot better after he put one on! We had no idea what a safety harness was because they didn't exist yet screw in steps and chain on creaky stands amazing we killed anything besides ourselves!
You guys! Y'all a bunch of young bucks yourselves. I actually laughed out loud when he said he was born in 1997! I'm 50 this year. I remember hunting with a laminated wood Fred Bear bow before y'all were even born! Crazy awesome footage and shot. Nothing "THWACKS"! LIKE AN OLD ALUMINUM ARROW. Thanks for sharing.
my fav part abt this channel is that they just wear whatever camo they have, nothin special and still kill em
THP doing it for the working man
There’s a few of us around here we don’t dress up at all most of time it’s a flannel shirt
Yeah, I tried to get all gucci and bought a set of First Lite gear this past year. I got one hunt out of their Obsidian pants, covered in seed ticks so I washed them in warm water. Not hot, warm. Tumble dry on low. They shrunk up to where a kid could wear them. First Lite wouldnt stand by it. Partially my fault for not following washing instructions, but I thought it was crap that such a high priced item is so finnicky. Im done with First Lite. I bought a pair of Magellan camo pants from Academy for $17. Done spending money on expensive hunting clothes
Only reason I buy camo is so my wife knows not to use the good smelling laundry soap. 🤷♂️
Love my pops hand me down vintage camo and gear... Some of it is exclusive merch.. Rare indeed lol
I love everything about this. I came back to bow hunting 10 yrs ago with a legend one bow. Still kills! Do more vintage challenges I'd love to see them!
Love this one! I killed my first deer with the same bow, which was a Christmas gift that ignited a passion that's still going strong 21 years later. Very cool video!
Great video! I’m 55 and my first bow was a Bear Whitetail II when I was 16. Used to shoot into hay bales. Didn’t kill many deer with it but me and my buddies had fun just hanging out and shooting our bows. Cool idea Warb! By the way, I love it when y’all whack slicks and get excited about it too! Tender vittles!
I am an old guy. I started archery with a Bear Grizzly Recurve 50 lb draw in the 70’s. When the Bear Compound came out and actually let off the draw weight even a little, it was amazing. After years of abuse to my body I can no longer draw a bow. I thought my hunting days we over as I don’t do rifles. Then I discovered crossbows Great video guys.
I'm one of the old guys , 74 . I used a Graham Dyna bow in 1980 . Congrats on the nice doe . I'm still hunting , good luck from Kansas.
My first bow was a Bear Hunter bow, 1981. Had Easton gamegetter aluminum arrows set up for it and Bear razorhead broadheads. Shot with my fingers with a Bear leather three finger glove. I had a bolt on quiver, cable guard and a heavy, short stabilizer, brass sight pins. It was so easy to change out the strings yourself with those bows and using a gauge and special pliers do you own nock installation. Weren't at the mercy of the bow shops for costly maintenance like you are now.
Lotta good memories with that bow.
Started deer hunting with a Bear LTD bracketed bow in 1973 😊 harvested several deer with these ol bows... missed 3 times that many with deer dropping out of the shot 😂 many many memories 😊
Best video of the season so far. 😁.
This reminds me of something I say often. People got the job done for generations without the latest tech or camo that we "need" today. Seems to me like more than anything, all we're doing is paying for someone's marketing salary...
I still have my Bear Indian from 1984 hanging on the wall in my basement long with a 1996 Martin Lynx that I hunted with up till last year. Love the old style bows!
I hunted with my dads martin lynx for a long time....never killed anything but I had fun!
I love these hunts with vintage bows. I wish more hunters would do hunts with them. We got so lost in the tech of hunting and there is something special about dropping a deer with a 30 year old bow. Very cool guys. Let’s keep up this vibe!
That's cool you guys not only used a vintage bow but also a vintage camera 🤣🤣🤣
That's too cool. I remember when those were new to the market. I shot the Bear Flare II. Big ole' arrows..
I shot my first buck with it.. I am pre-camo old. lol We made our own camo with magic markers and wore out coveralls..
At 63 I can still climb and set tree stands by myself..
I wanna hear Uncle David’s story on that gigantic 9!
I have a friend that can't find anyone to string his bow because it's over 10 years old. Love the video. I am always jealous of all the hunting you do.
Nice Job guys. My first bowkill was with the first Bear Whitetail edition made.
I was so excited to see the review of the bow in the last video. My dad bought a Bear Whitetail II for $15 at an auction when I started getting into bowfishing in high school. I used it and shot thousands of fish with it with no issues other than being HUGE. lol. I had it restrung aseveral years ago and gave it a custom paint job, and it still works. I still have it as a back-up and carry it on the boat with me every time. Great video!!
Love when I see people get exited about slickers, you can tell they really love it
That’s awesome! Took my first bow deer with an old Browning Coyote - tiny cams, wood limbs, aluminum Easton arrows. That was 10 years ago. Just got back to bow hunting this year and just last week took a small buck in a public land metro park right by my house based on tactics I’ve learned watching you guys. Love the content, keep it up!
Awesome video.... Reminded me of when I started bowhunting. I remember when the whitetail II first came out. Great shot and great message.
This is the kind of content that makes THP so great! Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
awesome... I still remember my first bow was an old Darton 45MX... was about 20 years old when I bought it and that was 19 years ago...lol.. practiced with it, took it out my first year bowhunting... only took 5 sits in the stand until I shot my first ever deer with it, a nice 9 point buck..
We didn’t tune bows back then. You just accepted the crazy broadhead buggie and tried to adjust to it! It’s a primary reason the mechanical heads came into being. 😉
I still do that😂
My dad did he taught me how to tune in the early 90s
Finally someone that agrees with me. I've been saying for years that mechanical heads were invented for the guys that were either too stupid or too lazy to tune their bows.
That was at least as exciting as any buck kill. 😀👍. Loved it. Great shot and smart move letting the first couple does walk through. I will remember that little tip.
It’s a good tip, I once did the opposite and drew on the first doe. It didn’t pan out for me.
Great video and endorsement for getting folks on a budget interested 👊🏼👊🏼
That was just plain cool as hell!! Brings back some good memories! Thanks boys.
Awesome hunt with a vintage bow! Love the excitement and respect for the deer.
The multiple camera angles you've been using bring the experience to a whole new level. Keep up the great work!
LOVE thes kinds of videos just love the more down to earth and simple hunting styles! Always producing good vids jeep up up crew!
Thank u for the turkey footage! Was hunting turkeys today for opening day of fall turkey season!
Here comes the new trend... Love you guys... Best hunting show ever... Public land hunting for life
Great video. Maybe this will motivate others to go out and enjoy bowhunting
I've never been so excited to watch someone shoot a doe. Love it!
Just wanted to say awesome video it's really cool to be able to show every one you dont need the newest of the new to go out and hunt I just started public hunting and hunting in general and you guys have really gave me the confidence to go out and try thanks guys keep up the great work
This might be one of my favourite videos you've done.......... Epic.
I honestly get so happy when you guys post it's amazing good job Warb congrats
Cool video! I like the deer anatomy graphic showing entry and exit!!
Those silencers were string puffs, had them myself back in the day. Got my first archery deer in 1991 with a Pearson Renegade pulling about 55lbs and using a finger tab. I was so naive since my dad never bow hunted and I only learned from reading magazines. When you're young and interested you can learn so quickly. Those were the days for me. Keep up the good work and thanks for the videos!
Love how you guys show that any one can do this no matter the budget!
My first bow was a whitetail 2 , I loved that bow probably shot it better than any bow I’ve had since and even got a deer with it. Love seeing this, thank you!
Wow guys! This is fantastic. I have a 1979 Darton SL 50 I've kept tuned up and it still shoots fine.
When I was a kid my dad had that exact same bow. When I was a teenager I shot it through a chronograph, and then I shot the same arrow through my Damon Howatt recurve. No joke, my recurve shot 8fps faster. Very cool hunt fellas! Love it!
I’m actually looking for new bow strings for my great grandparents Damon Howatt recurve’s at the moment
@@trapper9875 check out 3 Rivers archery. They’ll fix you up.
You need a 6” overdraw, Tracker string and an Amaker climber! My first bow in about 1990 was a Martin compound bow with a WOODEN riser and limbs. The wheels were about the size of a half dollar. In 1995 I upgraded to a Mountaineer with cams that I still have today even though I haven’t hunted with it in over 20 years. A friend of mine owned Diamond Bows when they were top of the lone and I got a Hornet from him that I still use today.
The hardest part about trying to do budget build is the judgement from the bow shops. One of the reason it has taken me so long to get into bow hunting was all the funky looks from the guys in the bow shop
Love it guys this is the true bowhunter spirit , ive been practicing since august with an old 80's darton just for a challenge .
We didn’t have fiber optic sight pins back then,the pins were huge back then they covered up half the deer at 30 yards
unless you had a meprolite sight pin that was tritium powered
@@lisaannaallen6283 they didn’t have meprolite sight pins in the 80’s they came out in the early 90’s
I am all for these throwback equipment videos.
Great video. Great idea to show new hunters you don't need expensive equipment. Hunting is about the experience.
Dang I was shocked when you shot it the first time. Very quiet and smooth!!!
You guys are awesome. All around best videos, always teaching and having fun doing it. 👍👍
I love all of y’alls videos, but this one was especially good. What an awesome idea.
Absolutely love this episode . I do not think it gets much cooler than that. Still own all my old bows. Hoyt Rambo compound and ram reflex recurve. Bowfish still with the Ram reflex. You truly inspire this old man , THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS.
I bought a Bear Whitetail classic at a yard sale near our camp in WV. I love it guys. I thought it would be cold to hunt with it but never followed through. I love THP!
This was so good. The right shot in the right way will always beat fancy gear. Better gear just makes more efficient. Thank you.
Great Hunt guys. I also take out some of the old compound bows I purchased off eBay or from local yard sales. It's always a cool hunt using bows from 25+ years old.You can definitely tell the improvements the bow company's made over years when shooting them but those older bows have killed many deer and it's good to see others out there still using them to hunt with also.
I have a 1969 Bear. I took a 4x4 last year with it. Newer doesn't always mean the old stuff is bad, you just have fewer advantages. It was really neat taking a deer with a weapon that my grandad used for many years and find out its still accurate.
Awesome hunt guys! My first bow was an XI Legend with the same aluminum arrows you were shooting but with feathers and 100 grain Thunderhead broadheads. Brought back memories! thanks a bunch! Keep up the good work!
I have that same bow! It's still a nice draw and release!
WTG THP!!! Staying in tune with the common hunter!!! Y'all Rock!!!
My Martin is 20 yrs old this yr n shes a killer
I love seeing the passion on this channel. Doe's. Buck's. 1980's compound bow, love it.
That's the first bow I ever got when I was 13 years old. I talked my mom into getting it for me from a K-mart. I'm 39 now, so that's 26 years ago
Yep! Think mine was from Walmart, a bear compound, around the same time. Those stores had multiple bows hanging on display. Came with a book full of colored drawings of what to do and where to aim on animals. Loved it.
I shoot a 21 year old Fred Bear Code with Easton 2315 Gamgetters. I have newer bows, but the Code has never let me down and has always got me red arrows. Those old Bears are good bows!!!
absolutely awesome hunt. I like when you say, "let's not overthink this".....lot of truth in that.
I have a pse nova and an old laminate browning that are getting brought back to life for my son to start with I use to love watching my arrow make a perfect shot an just drop last second lol brought back some good memories for me guys ty
Look at the loins on that one. Nice setta loins
Y’all have the best hunting channel and show I’ve ever seen I’ve learned a lot from y’all’s videos and it had inspired me to become a better hunter myself I hope one day I can be as successful and educated as y’all are! Thank y’all for the content and keep it rolling have a great rest of the season
One of my favorite videos y’all ever made
I used the original Bear Whitetail that I bought in the early 80's. In the late 80's I got a Bear Pronghorn. Although I never killed a deer with either one of them I have a lot of memories. We even did silent deer drives with 15-20 guys on a nearby mountain. I smiled the whole way through the video because I like the information you all share and you all seem real and show that you are having fun.
Bow snaps in half😂😂😂 lol good vid guys… I think we need a shirt with Zach on it
This was an awesome example, thanks guys.
Awesome video. I love the hunts with old equipment
Loved the artwork for whitetail vitals!
I get excited at 7:30pm because I know there’s a chance that THP will upload!
I’m doing the same thing this year. I picked up a old Browning bow and I took it to the shop to make sure everything was good and got a set of carbon arrows for it. Now I’m sighting it in. And my arrows are adult arrows “Fairy “ style. Can’t wait to go hunting with it.
Awesome! That’s the same bow I started hunting with! Harvested a lot of deer with it!
Great to see the success guys, thanks for sharing! Drop those dinner does! 😁
