RE: Let's say you had the choice....
I love being a camera man, especially on turkey footage. It's a tougher job being a camera man and very enjoyable. It's an art form and an accomplishment. It's a different way of hunting and every animal I have filmed being shot is an animal I could have shot myself. It's an amazing feeling when you get it all to come together. The camera guy is more important than the shooter in all aspects of the game. The shooter can miss, hit, screw up whatever but if the camera doesn't get it, it's no good. LOL
It's awesome and you might miss out on a opportunity you might not otherwise ever have.
