I've had this idea rolling around in the head for awhile now - produce a "Reality Hunting" show. This would show the real every day hunters out in the field. The hunting shows and videos are great for entertainment but do little to nothing in teaching how to hunt. I think it would be great to film different locations with different hunters for a weekly tv show. This of course I realize would be extremely difficult at best. Who would sponsor such a thing? And without that, the bucks to produce would be too much - between equipment and time alone would make it nearly impossible.

Years ago, my buddy shot a deer in the morning so we decided to set up a stand next to mine and try and film me shooting a deer. It was like the hunting shows we see - an hour before dark two bucks came in - a fork and a nice 8. My buddy filmed them coming in, walking under us and then out in front of us in the shooting lanes. He moved the camera up to me to get me looking at the buck, back to the buck, then back to me to get me drawing, then back to the buck to film a text book shot. It was perfect. Oh, except for the fact that this all took place deep in the cedar swamp and the camera wasn't set for low light conditions so the auto focus couldn't decide on what was out there, and the thing turned out almost black. Oh well. It was a cool experience though.
