bear hunt with contour camera
« on: September 10, 2011, 11:37:00 PM »
Just thought I'd share some footage with my new contour camera from this evening. Manitoba had a horrible berry crop this summer making for a great fall bear hunt. I saw a dozen bears tonight with 5 of them likely 6 feet or larger but no shooting tonight. I'm really happy with this new camera and arm mount that I rigged up by adding a plate to the top of my armguard. Fingers crossed I'll have some kill shots to share this fall. Enjoy....Ryan

Looks real good. Have you tried it at the shot? wondering what the handshock will so? I've been trying to figure out where to mount one and your idea is the best yet.. Looking forward to your kill shots..

Yes there is significant "shock" at the shot. I also have a head strap that I can attach it to but it's hard to turn know where it's pointed as you slightly turn your head to shoot.

On the arm I find it better to manipulate and operate. I can also see it, knowing whether or not it's recording.

Time will tell...Ryan

Real nice photo. What's the distance & how high up the tree are you? Good luck.

How much light do you think you had left? I have an Epic cam but when light gets low it's very hard to get footage. That was pretty good looking footage so I was just curious about lighting.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Straitera....yep, it's a video if you click on it. The bear I drew on was about 10 yards and I was about 13 feet up (base of the stand).

ckanous...You can see my watch in the video, so I can tell you exactly how much light I had left. 1 1/2 hours before dark!
