RE: Lets spark things up a bit...
Post production editing is going to be your biggest obstical. Also, it's tough to put good stories together without having a ton of footage to tell the story. That's is the difficult part about taking a bunch of random footage and trying to mix it. I have watched a TON of footage. Very little of it is good. Consider our last 2 hour video started with about 300 hours of unedited footage.
For editing, your best bet is to find someone who is eitherlearning and/or willingto help out for little or no money. You could also offer the editor a percentage of long-term sales as a means of compensation.
Next big hurdle, who is planning on selling/ marketing this for you? Have you guys contacted the new owners of Huntingnet to see if they would allow you to sell them somewhere on the site?
I would consider retailing it for you guys online if you can get it put together. I wish I could offer my services, but putting 1 DVD together each year nearly kills me - so I have no interest in taking on another.
Good luck - and remember it is supposed to be fun!

I can do some editing too. Plus I know a couple of us have our own websites that we can use for selling finished DVD's.
I think the best approach would be to divide up individual hunts. Guy "A" can edit someones antelope hunt to a finished ________long hunt. I can edit a whitetail hunt that's ______long. Michigan Whitetails can edit another hunt, etc. Once we get 10-12 hunts together (with enough people we may only need to edit 2-3 hunts each) we can put them on-line some where, either one of our personal sites or youtube or veoh and vote for the top 6-8 hunts that will go on the DVD. Any remaining hunts can go on "Season 2".

I am up for it as long as I still have the rights to the footage. My cousin edits and uses the videos we take to make his own DVD.
My name is Trent Miller and I hunt in Central Oklahoma. Here is a bow turkey hunt fromthe spring2007that he edited and put together. If this thing really happens I will be more than happy to donate "edited" footage.
