Ryan Gill von HuntPrimitive/Gill/s Primitive Archery hat vor einige Tagen ein Büffel mit Wurfspeer erlegt. Alles wurde dokumentiert (von heerstellung der Geschossspitzen bis zum Ausnehmen) und wird archäometrisch untersucht. Wo die zeug ausgelegt ist im Video, kann mann sehen, dass das ganze Vorschaft blutig ist.
"More to follow in days and weeks to come as there is too much content to share all in one place. I urge you to read all that is written below and follow along for our future releases so we can share with everyone the ins and outs of this recreative bison hunting experience.
- The main objective: To assemble a small group of experienced hunters to recreate plausibility in an atlatl bison hunt, rather than casting actors with no experience in actual hunting or skinning as seen on other mainstream TV shows that focus on drama rather than reality.
-Production: This whole experience in its entirety was filmed as it happened and will be using entertainment as a conduit for education, with the focus on education.
-"Why the clothes?" These are traditional self tanned items, made and sewn by each of our hunters. These are not costume pieces, these are genuine articles of clothing worn on the hunt. This is 2-fold. 1, To add to production value, and also to gain a better perspective on the how the cold effects hunters ability to move and perform at the tasks at hand, as well as to record the mental state of hunters when exposed to the colder temps experienced some 10,000 BC with a lack of modern fabrics.
-What was gained archaeologically? More to come on this later as an unfathomable amount of data was collected as the kill & process site was completely mapped as an ancient kill site would be. All stone tools: points, blades, bifaces and debitage was collected for measurements in volume, time and location of use, and edge wear, plus much much more by our On-Site PhD Candidate Archaeologist, Morgan Smith, of Texas A&M University.
-Where was this Bison taken? Due to spear hunting regulations, this experiment had to take place on a private ranch. This ranch contained about 60 head of wild roaming bison over 2 thousand plus acres. This took place in a location in which could be the closest thing to wild free range without being technically free range and subject to strict laws regarding Bison. These were not tame farm animals and proved to be much spookier than those found wild in Yellowstone, simply because this herd encounters hunters on the regular so they are actually tougher to hunt than those in unhunted areas or even likely the ones hunted by man in the Pleistocene.
Are Bison endangered? No they are most certainly not. In fact, privately owned lands with bison herds comprise the vast majority of the living population in which they are carefully bred and conserved to maintain the largest herd that the land can handle (Called Carrying Capacity). It is a direct result of genetic diversity and hunter dollars that fund and support the current population of bison in America. The money earned from the death of an individual greatly benefits the species as a whole and these private herds would not be in existence without hunters' dollars and a value assigned to them.
Further Objectives: The Film, written reports, and data collected are all ways to maximize the value of this animal. Not a single thing except entrails has been wasted, what is not eaten will be used for further education by both HuntPrimitive and Texas A&M. It is the genuine hope that data collection will fill in some of the gaps currently in the archaeological record, inspire more people to take an interest in learning the truths about primitive hunting and bison alike, and to also show the true efficiency of properly made stone tipped spears and projectiles to better help game-law makers make educated decisions regarding the legality of future spear hunting."
