Sure, Why not..Maybe get your foot in the door for a later hunt down the road.

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

Interesting.....

I've heard many stories of people who make a hobby a job, then grow to hate it. I know a few guides (or former guides) who loved the sport and pursued a career in it. After 5-10 years of guiding/videoing/etc, they grew to hate their job (probably similiar to how a lot of us don't LOVE coming to work everyday). Now they hardly even hunt anymore.

So, if becoming a camera man would eventually make me not enjoy hunting, I wouldn't take the job. But yeah, at first, it sound awesome...sign me up.

Sounds like a avenue that might take you to bigger and better things. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I'd go for it! It'll bea great day in the woods...

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

Negative.

Not so much for the fact that it would turn something I enjoy into a job, but more so for the fact that I enjoy the killing aspect of our sport. Granted, I love seeing animals when I'm out, but I'm out there to kill and fill the freezer, not to watch.

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

Depends. If it was my dad or my best friend doing the shooting, then sure. I would have just as much fun being a part of it as being the shooter. If it were people I didn't know, then no way.

Heck yes I would do it in a heart beat!

#1 if it's for a TV show they are paying market rate. so you guys worryied you will be able to buy that beer at the airport on the way home.

#2 if you do a good job or make the connections you will get a chance at advancement.

#3 filming someones excitement in a hunt would be awesome. That picture is why I have no reservations giving my spot up to a novice.

#4 Think of the opportunity in the hotel hot tub with a proffessional set up.

If I'm not mistaken,this is how Michael Waddel got started.


If I could take the winters off from my regular job,I'm in.

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but this would be the equivalent of filming an adult movie that has 15 smoking hot women in it,and all you can do is watch.........[8D]

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

Is that all you would do...or would you lie about it?

RE: Let's say you had the choice....
 

I dont know about anyone else, but Im a hunter not a camera man. To give up something that most of us are very passionate about to sit there and watch someone else do it, I dont think so.
