Searching for West

[gznokes]

Some are calling Searching For West the most important hunting film ever made. (From the standpoint of pure cinematography I'm not aware of one that is better.) It was good enough to be written up in Outside Magazine as a movie that is changing people's perceptions about hunting. No animals are killed during the filming of an unsuccessful elk season in MT and that's essential to why the film is gettig so much praise. It casts hunters in the same light as mountaineers, and modern day athlete explorers. Observers are saying it brings an authentic tone to hunting that is familiar to others in the hard core backcountry community.

If you haven't watched it I think it's worth 25 min.

The film appears to be primarily supported by Sitka and Leica.

I'll watch it tomorrow when I have time. If it's like you mentioned, it sounds like it's along the lines of the OYOA show that BigFin does on the Sportsman Channel where the hunt and not the kill is what is emphasized.
