I may just be the last to know, but I stumbled on these videos on youtube today and thought folks here might be interested. The title of the series is pretty misleading: it is about men hunting animals, not men hunting other men..maybe "Human Predator" might have been a better choice. Anyhow, the premise is that the host visits a traditional people-group and accompanies them as they hunt, observing weapons and techniques and trying not to be too much of a nuisance. These two have bows and arrows:
Namal people on Tanna island in the South Pacific.

The San people of the Kalahari.

There are other episodes, but only one of them is up on youtube and it has problems with the recording.

Very interesting. I wish they could just go straight to he kill though. lol Such a lack of attention span.

This show seems really interesting but I feel like they should have gotten a more qualified host who's more of a hunter than a conservationalist, and someone without a british accent. Just can't take him seriously with that. :D
Still worth watching though.
Its really interesting to see how minimalist these hunters are. We are always loaded down with extra water, axe, saw, gear, etc. When all they take is their minimal cloak, Bow and Arrow, blade, and a stick AFAICS.
Really cool stuff.
