Default RE: Catching video alone

Back in the late 80's, I videoed some hunts. I had one of those big vhs camcorders.My buddies and I managed to get several "kill shots" on tape.

I made a bracket that fastened to my treestand, that I mounted the camera to. I'd aim it in the direction I expected the deer to be in when I'd shoot. As the deer approached I'd start the camer rolling.

Everthing was fine until I started drawing my bow. The deer got nervous and took a few quick steps away. I shot anyway. On the tape, you see the deer coming in, then its out of the frame, and then you hear the shot and arrow impact.

I have several other kill shots with gun and bow, that me or a partner worked the camera. Trust me, things are much better when you have a cameraman.

During some of the rifle hunts, I'd convince different girlfriends to go along and be my cameraman.
