Default Got My Illinois 2004 Archery Buck.. With Pic's

In late November I shot a 8 point buck.........I was hunting the edge of a bedding thicket that is a real pain to sneak into without getting busted. We see more bucks in here checking and chaseing does than anywhere else on the property so far, so it has become our honey hole. He came out of the thicket behind me and walked to a mock scrape I had made behind and to my left and after sniffing it he started walking to the mock scrape in front of me, at one point he walked under me , I had to look through the grate on the bottom of my stand to see him under my feet. I shot him for 25 yards and got a pass through but was questioning my shot since it seemed to hit a bit high.I blood trailed him till the blood ran out and I lost his trail after looking for hours and hours.... We have been back to look for him but didnt find him.... We went back again and went to the other side of the river and I FOUND HIM ... but the coyotes found him first[:'(][:@] So the meat was a total loss And the meat and hide were spoiled so I couldnt even cape him for a shoulder mount.... I will do a real nice skull mount of him
Now we didnt have the camera with us but we did take the video camera so we got video footage of myself with my 8 point buck.........
HELP....Does anyone know where I can take the video footage and have them make photo,s from the video footage ??????????????
We did get some camera photos at home of myself with the buck head but we really want pics of me with the buck in the woods from the video footage.... My hubby took some really nice video footage.
After I spoke to Sony Tech I found out that my camcorder dosent work with computer ( its probably 8 years old) so I cant video link it... and to have a still pic made from the footage from a Video Production Company would cost a pretty pennie.
So we took some home head pics...... we even placed the buck head on a doe my husband took the next day on Illinois 2nd Shotgun season with his muzzleloader ... we wanted a pic that wasnt just a head pic.
They look alright but not the best... but OH WELL



Its been an awesome season, this year... I have taken A Turkey with my Bow, A 160 lb Doe with my bow and a 8 Point Buck with my bow.
There is still a massive typical very symetrical gorgeous 8 pointer whose main beams hook up severly on both sides I have seen on 4 occasions in the same bedding thicket and the closest he was to me was 27 yards but he has yet to offer a clean shot at him.... I hope to meet up with him again in the late season
