Archery expert Howard Hill and a cameraman go to Wyoming to film this wild-animal three-reel short. Besides the scenery, the scenes include a buffalo killed by an arrow shot by Hill (for food); a wildcat and a coyote in a battle, and a fight-to-the-death between a mother bear (protecting her cubs) against a killer bear.

If you have any interest in old-school archery or just want to see how people filmed nature before Discovery Channel existed, The Last Wilderness is worth a look. It’s definitely not for anyone who gets squeamish about hunting, and if you’re looking for a plot like Captain Kidd, Jr., you are looking in the wrong place....

It’s really just a short film of Howard Hill walking around Wyoming doing cool stuff with a longbow. The scenery is genuinely nice, even if the film stock is a little crunchy wit..."
