Why do more people not film their hunts?
« on: February 18, 2016, 01:10:00 PM »
I am just curious as to why more people do not film their hunts..?  

EVERYONE loves to watch the hunting videos, but so few people film.

Help me out guys, all you fellas who kill deer annually on your own land, at least film it for me!     :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

I know a pro video guy for one of the top outdoor/hunting/reality TV families in our day.  He professionally filmed many hunts.  He also tried filming his own hunts. He gave up filming his own and encouraged me to NOT do it. Why? He tells me he lost opps and even blew shots trying to hunt and film.  He is convinced I would be utterly frustrated trying to do both.  His advice:  Hunt OR film. Don't try both at the same time.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

I just bought a Spypoint excel stream camera to try videoing my turkey hunt this year.  I will not try to video myself.  I will have my wife or hunting buddy with me in the blind.  Ken

I'm interested in hunting/shooting not filming.  My buddy who likes to film spends more time fooling with his filming gear.  He kills a lot less then others that's for sure.

well, I don't like GoPro footage.. lol.  You can get a better filming camera than a GoPro for WAY less.  


I can agree to KSDans points, though.  But when everything does work out, it is pretty awesome!  To someone who hunts bait, there is no reason to!  ;)

Agreed on that one!  GoPro videos do seem off with depth perception.  Might help if guys who do it to list make/models for their equipment.

I like taking video.  I like hunting too.  But as I enjoy both, I have would have no qualms about being the camera guy on a big hunt.  I think that getting a small game license and toting my bow, but focusing on video footage, would be a great way to spend time in the woods with friends.  I've only made one "movie", but it was a hoot.  And a great way to preserve memories.

They have a show called Solo Hunter where all the guys self film everything. They miss a lot of opportunities but when it happens you can tell it is rewarding. Of course they are sponsored to do this so there is some extra motivation.

I know when I filmed this year, after getting 2 does early and being regulated to bucks only, it was cool getting some footage of the does that came near. Almost as exciting as trying to shoot them.

On our Beouf WMA Hog Hunt it would have been cool to follow someone with a camera and see if we could have laid down some footage. One problem - we like to hunt too much!   :D

Maybe I'm weird but I always felt hunting was a very personal thing. Especially the kill. For me it would take that away.

It was before I switched to Trad and ultimately it is what helped me to make the switch to something more simple.....

Do I like watching peoples hunts, you bet I do, but it just isn't for me....

Besides, I carry enough crap into the woods as it is   :knothead:

It is interesting I enjoy filming but don't really enjoy being filmed. Kind of like bear bowman said.

I have had a few hunts filmed and I do enjoy reliving them that way. Its just not something I go out of my way to do.
