Why don't you get a camera that mounts to your bow? Just you but you'll still have footage.
Because we film for a hutning DVD/TV show production company. We have to use high end cameras and aly down the best footage that we can, therefore- we need a cameraman.
I've told him to be quiet. Earlier in the year he was bringing a huge hiking pack, a big camera bag, a scent lok bag and the top portion of a climber...to each stand, each hunt.
I hate that. I like to bring as little as possible. I told him to lighten the load. He did, a little. I bring a fanny pack or a small back pack and my bow- thats it !
I always tell him to shut up, but he doesnt think he it doing anything wrong. I just hate hearing noises that are un-natural to the woods while we hunt. Heck, if he hunts with me enough, those noises are going to BECOME natural to the woods.
Tine- Please don't take what I am about to say the wrong way, only trying to have you see this as some of us might. From what I have gathered you are relatively new to bowhunting and have appeared to have success. You are passionate about what you do and want to succeed in your quest. You are dedicated and obsessed like many of us which I admire.
Why at this point are you bringing a cameraman with you, why are you even shooting hunting videos? This is my ninth season and I have taken 13 bucks over the years but I have no desire to put that kind of pressure on myself. You might not see it but you are putting yourself into a position where you are not enjoying the hunt. Maybe you should take a few days away from the camera and get out without any pressure or drama. Maybe carting around a camera guy and filming isn't what you truly want to accomplish when you search deep down inside. Just a thought brother but I don't see you having fun and that is what it is truely about.
Hope things turn around for you, the season is still young and you have time to get some good footage coming up.
x2. If hunting ever becomes a chore or stressful in any way for me, you will no longer be finding me in the woods. Unforuntately the nature of filiming is that your going to make more noise, no matter who is behind the camera.
