Are you shooting the deer on your farm , in the fence ?

If so your not going to get much support from the hunting community , I am on numerous hunting sites promoting my videos and I can tell you most people on them do not like that , and they are your audience.

I can tell you its a hard business. I started filming in 2007 for fun, 2008 for fun, then in 2009 I started getting a small following. Got a email from one a person at the makers of a product I used asking me to wear a hat and shirt if they sent them.
To be totally honest I thought it was one of my sick minded friends playing a joke. I was at the farm hunting one day and my wife text me, " there is a big package here from ******" . Then I sent a video to another place of a product I use.

It takes a lot of work, filming isn' easy and I just make goofy amateur videos using a $130 camera arm and a $ 1200 dollar camera. I have greatly improved my videos but still have a lot of work to go. Mainly getting the shots on video,which is hard sometimes because it happens so fast.

If your serious I'd tell you to get a camera man, I do it all myself and that is not easy.

I have several companies that send me products as a thank you for talking about them on camera, however every single one I was using before I got them sent to me and would still be using them if I did not get them free.

good luck
