There was a production shot at the beginning of us getting into the blind, yes I had to get back out to retrieve the camera.
No recreation, no tricks, no Michael Bay explosions. It's a legit kill.
Believe what you will though.

There were 2 people and 2 cameras. I had one cam set up at the feeder because I thought that is where the kill would take place. I had the other cam set up in the blind pointing down at us. The buck presented itself in a different area than the feeder and I already had the other cam set up with no time to grab it. These are GoPro cams so getting the kill from a distance further than 50 yards ish would not be very clear, it would look too far away to make anything out because the super wide angle lens.

Like I said before though, without the footage of the kill, we might as well be watching you do anything the first 2 minutes. Something to keep in mind next time you put this much effort into capturing your experience. It might not be a bad idea to keep the feeder out of the shot for aesthetic effect, and apparently you should plow that fence over before it causes another civil war. Cows be damned.

You answered your own question here. I overcame everything by simply building a deer blind. Who knows maybe this deer blind concept will catch on one day.
So what you are saying is you aren't sitting by a used trail on the ground or in tree where the deer are known to travel (by either the outfitter sitting you down there or a camera you have set up) ready to kill it at the "ambush point"

concealed with face paint and camo to "conceal all movement" and scent killer to "prevent wind from being a factor. Or is this what you do....completely taking yourself out of the element in just another way than I do.
Here's the thing. As another member stated, we might as well have watched you cut the grass. If you want to completely remove all the skill involved in being a hunter and then show us your "biggest buck to date" taken in this manner, just be prepared for a little flack. I'm not impressed in the slightest. Doubly so with the cheesy video.
What are you trying to accomplish with Double D adventures anyway? I mean, do you have a goal in mind or is it just something you're doing for fun? You really didn't even look genuinely excited with the kill.
Others have made good points about what it means to be in state that allows baiting. That is something I wasn't really considering. I am very glad Virginia doesn't allow it, but I understand feeling like you have to do it. I really, really enjoy venison (and the organic nature of the deer I hunt) and I might take a couple of deer under bait to ensure I had a some venison for the year. But I would have to try to take deer in a much less molested environment to feel like I was actually hunting.
In my short bit of hunting experience I've killed a big buck and a few decent ones. But my most prized kills have been a mature spike and mature doe because of the way I hunted them.

why do you guys from the Virginians seem so angry? Is it the no Sunday hunting thing? lol 
I know I'd be pissed all the time if I couldn't hunt on Sunday...
BTW My avatar buck was killed free rage GA no outfitter.. but every now and then I do get the urge to hunt out of state and when I do I normally use an outfitter...
