Team WildWorks

We are a select group of bowhunters from around the world who have come together to produce a dvd of self-filmed hunts. We have all been disappointed with the direction that hunting has been going, and want to bring the focus back to what it is really all about. No more setup, contrived, and unrealistic hunts! Our emphasis will be on the thrill and challenge of the hunt with less emphasis on the size of the prize! Our hunts will show that it is possible for the average hunter to create enjoyable and entertaining memories in the wild without the help of a camera crew and a production company. This video is all about our love for the wild and the pursuit of the hunt. We hope you enjoy the trailer, it speaks volumes to us!!!

Shed's and Dead's

Antler's are starting to drop here in Kansas, I've found around ten so far in the last three weeks. Unfortunately, I've also found a few casualties...



These first two bucks were on a property I just got permission to hunt next Fall, and I found them less than 200 yds apart...

This guy (above) also had a broken off G3 & G5 on his right side, and a broken off G4 on his left...

I'm guessing he'd have gone around 160"...

It's alway's a sad situation when you find animals like this, but nature has it's way of taking back. I could find no evidence of their demise...





















Almost missed this shed...










It's been here awhile...



This one's from last year too... the "Devil" spike...


















This is the bigggest shed I've found thus far, had a close encounter with this buck on the 26th of December. After seeing and holding his shed, I'm glad he wasn't close enough for a shot ;)

He'll be a good'n next year!


If you get a chance in the next few weeks, get out and walk your hunting area's. You can learn a lot in the "off-season" and put it to use in the Fall! Heck, you might just find a good set of rattlin' horns, if nothing more it's good exercise and something the whole family can participate in.


Brian and I are headed to Texas at the end of the week to meet up with Bill & Kyle for some free range pig hunting, keep your eye out for some footage... it's comin!

Turkey with the Longbow

This was an old self-filmed hunt of mine where I was fortunate to take my first turkey with a longbow.

The GoPros On My Compound Bow

Here is the way I set the cameras up on my bow, it seems to be the best way to eliminate the most shock and vibration.

The in-between seasons is the longest time of the year. With that, we recoup, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on what hunts and memories we have made in that time spent in the great outdoors. The past week has been a roller coaster ride of weather out here in West Texas, from the 50's to 80's to 20's in the past week with over 5" of snow! April (RDG) managed to get out after the snow started to melt and use one of her many talents, photography. It's amazing what one can do with mother nature this time of year (everything being dead). It just goes to show that life can be it's most beautiful in times like these. If you are interested in more great photography you should check out her link.

Same Longbow shot with Gopro in .avi

My New Toys

Thought I would post my new arrows I just finished. I cant wait to go on a hunt with them!

Also, I wanted to post a pic of my new blades that Mr. Cook knapped for me. They are spectacular to say the least! I wish I had this kind of ability! I will be hunting with them as soon as I get them haft ed onto my cedar arrows.

The Conclusion!!!

This is my conclusion after several months of testing. The Hero cameras will serve me best mounted on my bow. The first, facing my target, mounted on my stabilzer. The second on the riser, facing me, so everyone can see the shot and reaction. Notice in the vid that there is little vibration, thanks to Gopro's mounting bracket and placement on bow. Let me know what you think!

A Beavers Revenge

Team WildWorks latest excursion. We were attempting to kill some woodducks with our bows for supper. It was one of the coldest mornings we have had, which added to the experience. The vid also proves that a hunt does not always have to end in a kill to be considered a success! We hope you enjoy it!
