I started taking my video camera with me a few years ago. It allows me to bring back the stories of what I see and let my wife and daughter see all the wonderful things out there.
The only thing is that it has made me miss some nice deer because I am trying to set up the shot in the camera first. But I don't mind, as long as I can get the deer on film, it is like I got the deer. And preserves the memory forever.
So I recommend to everyone take your camera out there, and bring back your adventures.
Here are a few of my videos. No kills on them yet. I hope to get one this year.

That button buck that followed you home reminds me what happen a couple years ago to a friend of mine in NY. A doe had given birth to twins in a old hog pen in his yard. That night it was raining hard and the next morning the doe left but the buck never followed her. Well after a couple days my friend decided to see if he could feed it so it wouldn't die. He managed to get it to take a bottle of whole milk. So he went to the feed store in town and got some powdered goats formular. Well long story short, he was feeding it everyday until the fall. The buck would actually paw at the door to come in. Walk right into the kitchen a down 4-5 bottles. Oh.. he named him buddy too! Well buddy would follow us around the yard and if he went to lie down somewhere, all you had to do is call his name and he would come a running. We were actually moving a few stands around one day on his property and buddy joined us following behind while on 4 wheelers. I suggested that we tag him somehow so we wouldn't shoot him a few years down the road. Well one day he just left and never returned and now we'll never know.
Cool video's and I agree, even if you didn't get a shot because your're setting up the camera at least you got them on film.
