We are hunters, fisherman, farmers, homesteaders and most of all just a strange family. We custom build archery quivers, tabs, string tracker and deer calls here at our home in florida. We primarily hunt with longbows but every once in a while you'll see us pick up some firearms mostly muzzleloaders though. My favorite animal to hunt with a bow is wild boar but im really starting to enjoy deer much more at the new house.All of our products are available at omnivoresquivers.com be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram
My wife and I have been raising rabbits for meat for a few years now. I was looking specifically to see how people are handling the bleeding part, as I’ve cut myself doing that in the past. I started wearing a cut-resistant glove last year but nicked myself again today. So I was happy to see your procedure, especially the blowing aside of the hair. There are couple other of your techniques I’ll be trying to include next time around also. I’m not convinced that the bop and bleed route is better than using the hopper-popper and bleed tho. It didn’t appear that you were getting much more blood out than I’m used to but I’m willing to give it another try. Most people would have started over with the filming if the first bop attempt went like that but I appreciate your honesty in forging ahead. I’m sure it added to the negative comments from the piously disillusioned. Oh well. I know you are doing a good job, and am thankful that you two took the time to educate other well intentioned people. Please keep up the good work, ignore the haters, and post your recipes for the brine and your soap. Cheers from Texada Island, BC. Now I’m gonna go eat a rabbit sammich!
There are better places to get wood shafts then 3R. Surewood is where mist people get quality. Also Rose City. I think 3R has enough of our trad money. IMO
Surewoods are great. Carson is an awesome dude. Carson doesn't do cedars though. Rose city are what I typically use. That's where 3 rivers gets their shafts from.
Finally a butcher tutorial that has the kill process included, I find this process the hardest and almost every butcher tutorial I find on here leaves that part out. If you do a video also for the brine, Id love to watch it! Thank you for making this informative video as well!
All of the how and not much of the why of shaft tuning. Understandable in terms of what people need to know in order to go through the steps. Many of us are looking for more insight into the actual physics of the machine. Some slow mo footage of spine arching effecting trajectory under different controlled conditions would be a very successful video I think. A basic description of the forces and shenanigans involved would be insightful. In other words, why does a weak spine produce a left arrow? How does this relate to tip weight , weight vs distribution , f.o.c. E% etc. me personally, I’m looking for a few dozen takes on the subject as described by experienced and knowledgeable archers. That’s why I watched your take as well as 10 others today. The best I ever had in my life was a Japanese arrow maker actually showing and describing the action of the arrow , slowly, as it is acted upon and leaves the bow. Paradoxically (pun!) he did this by hand, puppet style, using a flexible cane as he stood next to a small tree representing the bow. Thank you man and good luck with your RU-vid Chanel.
Very inhumane. The pain we inflict on an animal or human will come back to us one day, that is the universal law. If someone cuts or hurts us, the pain we feel is similar to the fear and pain felt by an animal.

so very interesting thank you both for sharing also I feel you brother never had any issue dispatching an animal but for some reason breaking down fish gets to me evey single time lol unless its the 10 second method for perch I came across years ago (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pjTlFwQb7D0.htmlsi=V8Y0IarYFNS4lNsx) cheers to your family and the Homestead new sub today from just this one very informative ideo Thax again
Hey, nice bow and nice video; thank you. I have a question that has nothing to do with the subject you talk about; if you´re so kind: Is this arrow rest with like a containing angle not leting the arrow making its natural movement (this archer´s paradox)?.
I just did this method and have been watching your videos to go step by step because it’s my dream to be a homesteader and raise 70% of all the food my family and I eat but does it get easier? I just did my first rabbit and I had to sit down I was shaking so bad. I’ve never killed anything more than a bug before, how long did it take you to be comfortable doing this? I don’t want any responses from the angry vegetarians; I have no desire to be entirely plant based so don’t force that onto me or try to make me feel bad. Thank you!
It does get easier. For me it has never arrived at completely easy tho. I had the same experience when I dispatched my first animal, a pig. Your experience and response with your first was entirely appropriate. We spend all the time and effort to ensure that our animals have a good life, and it would be extra weird to have no mixed feelings about the end process. I hope that it never gets too easy. If you get to a point where you’re no longer shaking when you do it, don’t forget to thank the animal for its gift to you and your family. I get that many people could never do what we’ve done, and have no problem eating meat. I’m not suggesting that you and I are better people than them but we are more responsible.
We have rabbits that we don't necessarily breed for meat, but after the last batch was born and we're needing to get rid of some, that bitey one is looking pretty tasty.
