Yesterday I decided to take my camcorder hunting. I have tried filming hunts before and it is something I am very interested in learning more about, especially for deer.
I setup my tripod in the deer stand with me and attached my camcorder, and waited for the big bucks. I was hoping to get some deer on film, and maybe try to capture myself harvesting a whitetail, bow-hunting.
I got in the stand and the action started early and was able to have a great afternoon of videoing and hunting. I am really getting the fever for bow-hunting and outdoor videography. I took my bow to test my archery skills, but I didn’t bring my arrows, I always forget to bring all of my supplies hunting. I was able to get a big fox squirrel and seven whitetails on film, but the big bucks never showed up. I got some really good footage of the whitetails and squirrel. But it started raining while I was there, and rain and expensive video equipment just don’t mix. Especially when you don’t have the right equipment to protect your camera while filming hunts. I am already wanting to invest in a professional outdoor videography package. I found a really cool website that offers professional outdoor videography packages. You can go check them out at CampbellOutdoorChallenge. They have a great line of products, and they even have a competition you can enter and compete against other teams filming hunts. So be sure and go over and check them out.
The rain wasn’t too bad so I was able to keep the camera out and I just covered it up and still got some great footage. I had a wonderful eveing, I had several whitetails feeding in the food plot and they stayed around feeding for quite some time. It was fun catching them on video. I’m still trying to figure out how to download the video so I can share it with you. I am looking forward to getting some great footage in the near future. I’d like to do it for a living, who knows maybe someday soon I will.

I am looking forward to seeing the video once you figure out how to download it. That has also been a interest to me as well so I am looking forward to see how you do.
