Where Donnie Vincent hunts: the wilds of North America and beyond
Donnie hunts in extreme and remote corners of the world:
Alaska and the Aleutian Islands (Adak) — hunting caribou, bears, and sea ducks
North Dakota (Badlands) — one of his most iconic trophies: a white-tailed deer nicknamed Steve
Newfoundland and British Columbia — trophy hunting for moose and mountain goats
Patagonia, Colorado, Mexico, Canada — expeditions in complete isolation from civilization
These places become the backdrop for his films and publications, where every frame emphasizes the importance of the balance between hunting and nature conservation.

One of the key themes in his work is bow hunting. It is not only a method of hunting, but also a philosophy of respect for the animal, attentiveness, and patience. Donnie chooses the bow as his primary tool, emphasizing the complexity, ethics, and antiquity of this type of hunting. He also uses modern firearms (such as the Benelli Lupo) when hunting conditions warrant it.
