As a horseman, and a hunter, I can really appreciate this.

Bareback, minimal gear, phenomenal riding skills and a gorgeous horse that responds so well and knows its job. You, sir, are amazing.

Chuck Norris checks his closet for this dude before bed.

This probably what my husband had envisioned when he learned he was going to take horse back riding lessons. Boy was he disappointed when he realized the truth.

I can only imagine how difficult it is to fire an arrow from horseback. But with no saddle!!? Aside from that, the horse didn’t freak out every time a boar charges! THIS IS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS!!!

First real horseback hunt I have seen, and not just people going around shooting stationary targets.

Best F'n hunting video ever! Great horsemanship.

There are so many impressive things about this video! The archer,the horse, the gear, the drone footage all around impressive thanks for sharing Ryan.

Well, that looks like something I'd enjoy doing.

Not only is this the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, it’s absolutely beautiful to see how fluid the guy and the horse are together! Incredible video!!

This horse is putting on a performance. He does very minimal steering and the horse is on autopilot while he is manning the gun on the gunship.

Imagine if he had a saddle and a cutting horse!!

I never comment on videos, but I can't not here. This is amazing plain and simple. I ride, I shoot off my horse but not this. The horsemanship, the horses soundness and the riders composure are phenomenal. I need more videos like this, many more.

Litterally red dead redemption two in real life.

My boy Vastin getting at it. I went to school with him and he's all about this primitive hunting. Check him out.

I’m five seconds in and I must say this is one of your best videos yet

That's takes a lot of coordination and well trained horse. Awesome

This is literally the best video I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. Please make a longer version and show some behind the scenes on making it. Amazing!

Best hunting video on KZfaq along with the bison atlatl hunt. Would love to see more like this! Great job Ryan! A bison hunt like this would be epic. A few guys on horseback running them with your bows.

When i first saw this guy i wasn't convinced he knew what he was doing. But after watching several videos this guy seriously has skill. Very impressed.

Amazing! Plus he's doing it bareback. I've always heard that without standing in stirrups, horseback archery is nearly impossible. I guess this guy and the oldtime plains tribes didn't get the memo. Would that activity be too bouncy for a head-mounted GoPro camera? It would be neat to see the hunt from the rider's point of view.

Respect to the hogs, they put up a great fight against the odds,hope their remains were treated with due honour.

It makes me wonder whether the rider is taking horse for hunting or its otherway round. Amazing skills by both.

We need more stuff like this this is amazing horses are an underappreciated animal since we no longer use them for transport it would be awesome to see a resurgence in their use for things like this a coming together of rider and steed to make an excellent team

Kevin Costner approves.

2:25 did you see that boar manning up there all of a sudden! i thought he was going to spook the gorse there for a second when i saw him charge like that.

The definition of old-school!

The drone camera work is amazing on this too! a lot of people might not realize how hard it is to keep steady control on a moving target like this. The drone footage adds so much to an already amazing hunt!

Excellent riding and shooting too. Circling lefthanded was exactly the tactic of mediaval huns and mongols .Congreats from Germany

Man that's something! The coordination between horse and rider is fantastic.

There is something graceful about horseback riding and bow and arrow. Thank you for reviving the tradition.

Absolutely freaking amazing! You have no idea how much this speaks to my soul. I swear that it calls to me like you can't imagine.

It gave me the chills from a past lifetime of real freedom and conquest. Relearning ancient archery w thumb draw and Mongol Bow. Just made a diy Comanche bow with Comanche style knockless arrows. My name means someone who works with horses. I need access to a horse for my next step in evolution! Lol

Honestly one of the most action filled hunting videos I have ever seen. Now on my bucket list.

That quite possibly was the most amazing hunting video I have ever seen! On horseback with "primitive gear", if that's primitive I want to know how, cause them hogs are dead!! Also the horse and rider were AMAZING as well!!

MORRRRRREEEEEE PLS . DAMN WHAT A NICE CONCEPT! KEEM EM COMING

The hog shows such bravery I say hats off to the courage of even wounded hogs turning to face the hunters. I wonder how many of the slain animals actually get used for food. Your riding and shooting skills are certainly notable. I am 75 still ride my stallion bareback and hunt. But I never kill for sport.

Out of the hundreds of hunting videos I've watch this is the best ever,,, the way is has been done for so many hundreds of years. Brilliant

This might be the coolest video I've ever seen. Like this could go into a movie or something

This was awesome! First I’ve ever heard or seen of a horseback hunt of this type in modern times! 👍

I know a few folks with bison out here in South Dakota. If you wanna be the first person to take a bison from horseback, I would be happy to help get you hooked up! Ryan and Tim know me, Tim knows my kitchen skills, too!

As impressive as the hunting skill and horsemanship is, the drone footage is DOPE... 😎🤘

Last time I rode bareback I was 19 and my taint never recovered lol hats off sir.

Much respect, riding bare back and hunting with primitive bows. Seriously dude very impressive.

That was amazing footage truly skilled in all aspects

Wow ! What a team ! Bareback on a horse with a plains style horse bow (assuming) and the drone filming . It ran through the water and mud ,fast as the wind. The rider had such control . The horse is ,one of the best I ,have ever seen. This must have taken a long time to accomplish. I love to see my Florida scapes . I’m in Texas now and this makes me so happy to see . I can almost smell the moisture in the air and hear the sound of the water under feet . Those boars were fighters . The horse, was valiant. The archer demonstrated great horsemanship and superb shooting skills . More more more !

Wow!!! As usual the bar has been set and maintained by you Ryan! You never disappoint when you put something together. Vastin is an amazing horseman and deadly with that bow! Fantastic!!

Best video ever!! It kinda takes us back to when Indians hunted that way! It gives us a clear view of how it was done back then!!

I'm in favor of hunting. However, it would appear that the gentlemen needs a more powerful bow.

The heart of hunting. What it would feel like to have my horse as skilled as yours. I kill what I eat also. It has made an amazing bond with my dogs and those of my friends and family who have chosen to join me. So much of who we are has been lost on this "human as a pet" modern society. It is awesome to see so many different people reviving our skills.

Lovely video! Great horsmanship and bow-skills. Reminds me of the books about Ayla and her travels after she left the clan of the cave bear 🥰

First time seeing this. Never even heard of this kind of hunting ! Cool as hell !!!

That's incredible. I never knew a horse could shoot a bow and arrow. Pretty dang accurate.

Our Scythian ancestors did this. Amazing video.

I have seen the bison hunt vid a few minutes ago...THANK YOU for your work for science and archery/atlatl users!!! One of the best vids I have seen for years...

Ive been wanting to do this for the longest time now. I really wanna do it now

That video was amazing, great job guys ! That hunter/horseman did a fantastic job as well. Thanks for the videos and I cannot wait for the next one 😃

Can't tell you how many times I've gone searching on KZfaq for a hunt just like that. The only other thing that I would suggest shooting a video of is from horseback like that hunting pigs with a spear I would love to see something like that someday. Great video love the Primitive videos you guys do.

Badass! Ok, now I need to make a video like this!

Made dis lil injun smile.

damn...... just damn lol very impressive. never thought anybody would ever get to see this ever again. its one thing to see it in old text and read about it but this is awesome lol buffalo next?

First of all...I love your horse Second : I love where you hunt.. Third: keep it up 👍

that's how the Great Plains indians hunted and fought. No saddle, and no hands on the reins while shooting at near full gallop. this is an amazing video. The only issue I have is when one of the hogs was down he could've shot it again but didn't. the pig was obviously in pain. other than that this is incredible.

That's badass. The hogs here would probably just eat him and the horse.

I have seen this done in the hills of Perth WA with spears - but this is excellent horsemanship - great horse and photography

I wonder if the pigs go,"Hey!!! A horse just shot me!!!"?

Absolutely amazing! So much skill on so many levels, the ancestors would be proud.

This is amazing I’m so many levels. This video deserves so many more views. If you ever get the opportunity, a 360 degree camera mounted off the saddle or in front of the horse would be absolutely incredible

The best historical reproduction of wyldboar hunting i have seen yet !!!!

This is exactly what we need in 2020

Thats a well trained horse. Responded well to steering, didn't spook or ever slow down, all without a saddle.

Like. But man, be sure you do something to protect this horse legs.

I have seen heli hunting for these hogs with ARs and shotguns, which I thought would be a bucket list hunt, but I have to say if ever I had a choice to heli hunt or hunt on horseback I would choose the latter. Awsome video nicely videoed thanks for posting.

this is one the coolest thing i seen in awhile

Thats a badass horse. Coolest vid in a while

You're not even a real man of you can't kill a wild hog with a self made bow riding bareback on a 🐎!!

Hell yes. This is awesome.

One of the coolest hunting videos I've seen.

The first video I ever posted on my hunting channel was me on horseback in the wilderness trying to fend off an aggressive coyote with my .40cal Beretta when I should have been carrying my recurve. Looks like loads of fun. Makes we want to get back into horses.

Why are these videos so underrated?

Awesome. I have wanted to do this since I was a boy. Keep at it so the horse learns to pursue more readily. Still cutting some wide arcs as the pig cuts away.

Please do a behind the scenes video. This is incredible!

Coming from a horsemen those are excellent riding skills and equine to go with it. What you are seeing is a great partnership between a man and his mount.

Great video, incredible skills. I'll bet that horse loves to chase those hogs.

Very skilled guy and horse, beats a bunch of guys on a heilocopter, with machineguns acting like a bunch of tough guys. Great vid

Been looking forward to this

Impressive... Kind of a lost thing to see this done in real life. Having worked on a ranch I can only say this is incredible from a riding perspective and being a traditional bowhunter I can appreciate it... BUT... From a clean and efficient killing perspective the draw weight, arrow weight or configuration combined with the less accurate shots, caused a ton of unnecessary gut shots, and obviously very little penetration on tons of non lethal arrows getting stuck in the shoulder bone. Ultimately these animals died from a combination of blood loss and exhaustion, being chased. Not to say hogs aren't invasive and detrimental to many areas, just that, even when bowhunting, clean shots are our goal to prevent unnecessary pain and stress.

This video is the beginning of a new epoch! congratulations for this beautiful gift for us as hunters. I'd have liked some native american war drums though.

YES! Pure skills and true hunting/harvesting. We feast tonight.

Finalyy!!!! I waired like 3 months for this video

Sweet video...best I've seen in a long time. Was beginning to think that I was the last of the wild people

The boar charged at the horse, it scared me because boar teeth can tear flesh apart. The horse dodged well though 🐗🐴

Now this is freaking awesome

Very cool loved it and want more of it.

Ryan you always produce great videos and footage but this is truly unique and amazing, great job and thanks for sharing.

When spring rolls around you should do primitive archery turkey hunting

Great video, excellent riding! Seeing how effective this is imagine the addition of dogs.

Literally the best hunting video ever, thanks for sharing!

wow great hunt loved it cant wait for the next

i don't say this often but that horse is truly beautiful
