Deliverance ( the movie)

[450 marlin]

Just finished watching that classic movie, nothin better than an old movie with a Bear kodiak hunter and a takedown  in it and old Burt aiming for the heart....

[Mike Shaw]

And purtey boy!  

[Horney Toad]

Yeah you see the hunter more than the takedown. Too bad they broke it.

[d. ward]

I always keep a pic of old Bert right next to my desk....bd

[osiristheclown]

It appears Burt shoots cock feather in?

[Falk]

This film is what got me into all of this ...!


aah, and this is nice too  duelling banjos

I was in a unique situation. I knew James Dickey and Owen jeffery who were both deeply involved in the making of this movie. James Dickey was a client of mine and when he learned I was an archer( and an English Major) he asked what I thought about the film. The book is much better, BTW. Dickey hated Reynolds- said he had to shoot the fish and that Reynolds was a pop-culture idiot. My opinion of Dickey isn't much better but I'll leave that out. This isn't an archery movie- its a movie wherein archery plays a role. Worthless for bowhunters.            Grant

[1arroww]

Grant, I agree!

[d. ward]

Its kind of interesting Spurt and the boy's used bows rather then guns like them hillbilly's did.The billy's was way smarter then them city slickers was anydamnway.Spurt don't like guns no how no way,bunny hugger.I think it was bows or sling shots for him...bowdoc

[Blackhawk]

So Doc, you have a pic of Burt hanging up, huh?

I got a pic of my hero, Herbert "Cowboy" Coward hanging up too:



Cowboy was a western stunt man (known for his falls from rocks and haylofts)  who worked with Burt in a few movies.  By the way, Burt got him this role.

[d. ward]

Kind of scarey,I got a hat just like that one...bowdoc

[Blackhawk]

Yeah, real scary.      

Burt also had a couple other peckerwood friends that he tried to get in the movie... but the warden would not let them out.  

[alaskabowhunter]
