  • 1st place for Cinematography
  • 2nd place for Editing
  • 2nd Place for Use of Music Primal Dreams the best selling DVD from Gene and Barry Wensel and Mike, David, and Mark Mitten is not only a must see movie, it's a must have! Over two hours of breathtaking scenery and incredible footage of animals in their natural habitat and the bow hunters that pursue them. This DVD has captivated both hunters and non-hunters alike. For those who hunt, it stirs the instinctual "primal need" we feel to hunt. For non-hunters, after soaking in the experiences, they say, "Wow, NOW I get it! Now, I understand why you hunt, and I'm OK with it." This is not just a bow hunting movie, it's a celebration of nature, a chronicle revealing the essence of the hunt, and beautifully illustrates the circle of life. We've heard from more guys than you can believe that their kids and their wives not only enjoy the movie, but ask them to put it on! Primal Dreams is one of the best produced DVD's we've ever seen. From the stunning wildlife scenes to the dramatic music, it's tasteful and professional from start to finish. We've always said that hunting with a longbow or a recurve was a journey not a destination. After surrendering to the message of this movie, everyone will understand what we mean. This DVD needs to be circulated! Share your passion for hunting, watch this movie with your friends. Give them out as gifts. Do you know any kids who might like to start hunting? We have no doubt that you'll kindle a fire of desire in them with this movie. A fire that when fanned into flame will have them dreaming their own primal dreams... Approx. 225 min.

    Comments about "Primal Dreams" Award Winning DVD Full Length Edition:

    Reminded me of Wild Amer. Not really a good hunting video. Though it did have good camera work.

    3Rivers Archery Response: Primal Dreams is Not a hunting DVD, thought it does have some hunting shots, the movie is about the understanding of the hunter and his/her relationship to Nature. If you are looking for a hunting DVD, this is the wrong DVD for that.

    If there is a better dvd about the spirit of the the hunt, I doubt it'll be in my lifetime. I doubt I could handle it anyhow. This dvd brought tears to my eyes, & a thrill to my heart. I honestly watch this dvd 3-4 times a year.

    Without a doubt the best film ever made on the spirit of the hunt, and the mental aspect of how we think of hunting. A classic.

    Hunting philosophy

    Comments about "Primal Dreams" Award Winning DVD Full Length Edition:

    This movie is about the philosophy of hunting, the spiritual connection between hunter and God's creation. The scenery and wildlife footage is incredible. It was about 2 hours long and would have been perfect at 80 to 90 minutes.

    This is not a "how to" or a "watch me hunt" video--there are probably 2-3 actual kill shots during the entire video, with the rest of the hunting footage involving the hunter coming up to an already down animal. This does not detract from the film, as long as you go into it with proper expectations.

    This film would make a great gift for a hunter who is as committed to the philosophy of hunting as to the actual act of releasing the arrow or pulling the trigger.

    Comments about "Primal Dreams" Award Winning DVD Full Length Edition:

    The Wensel brothers took a different angle with this film. They show the animals going about their daily lives. This list of animals includes turkey, a little bear footage, deer, elk, and moose. I enjoyed watching the animals go about their lives but I figured it would have more hunting in the film. The footage they captured was amazing at times and so-so at other times. I think it was a little drawn out but I still would recommend it for someone who is looking for an appreciation of the hunt and animal, not your standard hunting film.

    Comments about "Primal Dreams" Award Winning DVD Full Length Edition:

    If you are wanting to buy a hunting dvd, then this is not for you. I was interested for the first 5 minutes, but the music and the constant video footage of game became too repetitive. The music is good, but once again not a hunting dvd. I found this to be more of an eductation video and not for what I was looking for. I can see where the Wensel brothers were going with this, and they had a good thing going but they drug it out way too long.

    This is the best dvd on hunting. I watch it two or three times each year. It always comes off as fresh and interesting. I have over 50 dvd's and vhs's and only October Whitetails comes close. I highly recommend this dvd.
