Anyone filming their turkey hunts in HD?
 

Just curious as to how many hunters are filming hunts (turkey/deer) using HD equipment? For those that are, what equipment are you using and how many hunts have you filmed in the past?

I have enough trouble killing a turkey in LIVE view, let alone on tape! lol

We have a digital camcorder that I'm going to take with me this season, but it's not HD. Our Canon camera takes nice videos in HD, but our computer has trouble processing them. It would definitely be nice to do though.

I film my hunts with a Canon XHa1 and it works great!
Here is the first hunt I filmed with it.

Use to film with Sony V1U, bogen tripod and head, rock varizoom, sennheiser wireless mic, rode shotgun mic. Have numerous hunts on tape including my bow slam. Actually sort of got burned out and just went back to hunting and loving it.
