woodsman2230 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I was watching some different deer hunting videos the other day and I like how some of the videos show a lot of different behind the scenes stuff. What does everyone like/want to see in a hunting video? Or what do you want to see more of in a hunting video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 It all depends on who's video it is. I like to see Waddel hunt but also like to see him cut up, he's hilarious. All in all, I think more of the hunt and tips. Less of the "staging" thing. I really don't like it when it looks like the hunt has been....I guess you can say, practiced.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 More of the decision making process regarding stand placement, times to hunt, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflhunter Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I personally like those that include the "whole experience." The preparation before the hunt, during, and after. I learn more from watching pros prepare and setup their location than anything else. It gives me the opportunity to see the types of terrain they prefer as well as how to properly prepare a tree for hanging a stand. I think these are much more informative and enjoyable rather than just picking up the story while the hunter is already in the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like the whole experience. The Drury guys do a great job of showing pretty much everything leading up to the hunt and kill. I do so much work during the summer, and showing them doing the same work kind of keeps me motivated knowing that I'm not the only one and that my hard work might pay off one day. As we all know, sitting in a tree is only about 10% of what hunting actually is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 More of the decision making process regarding stand placement, times to hunt, etc. There you go! I also would like to see them not using outfitter so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Bowhunter14 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 more of the preperation would be pretty neat... they need to give us the whole experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I do enjoy watching them kill big deer, theres no doubt about that.. but I also like watching T-bone shoot againts the other hunters at the targets,, kinda brings me back to when me and my uncle and gramps would go on the 3-d walks and how we used to be so competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Roadtrips!! So far I think they have covered just about everything everyone has brought up. I like roadtrips because its not just camera on deer walks in shoot it deer runs off do a comment after the deer runs off turn camera off, camera turns on person is holding rack of trophy or head of trophy, person talks then done. Where in roadtrips you get to see everything, heck half the fun of watching the show isn't even watching the harvest, it's everything else that leads up to and ends with. I think Roadtrips should be nominated for a grammy hahaha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atthewall Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 A full blown hunting movie in a format that dovetails like a surf or ski flick. Jamming tunes, single narration of the scenes, challenges, exotic shots bordering art.....the work, blood and sweat involved with pulling off the hunt. Basically a hunting safari that documents everything top down, out takes of the scenes, people, locations and experiences at a "right now" level that puts you there. It hasn't been done but one day it will be. A show that captures and captivates you...the experience beyond the kill. Things that are not filmed now......that breath taking sunrise, a stuck 4x4, an unexpected storm, the close encounters......living and breathing everything centered around the experience. Check out Bruce Brown's stuff from years ago...Endless Summer comes to mind. Off the chain visual and audio..something that absolutely pumps you up and makes you want to tear through the door wearing camo with a care in the world....that's what I want to see.

SpcNape Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I like the full package. I enjoy seeing everything that happens, I think that's why I like Realtree Road Trips so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I sure wish someone would stop doing the fake blood trails. Yeah...with the camera angle from behind the deer:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'd like to see more deer than just the ones they try to put a hole in too. You know the sighting ratio is more like 20 to 1 rather than 2 to 1. Also the number one issue that burns me way more than the fake blood trails is...you're coming up on the moment of truth and you think they are about to pull off the shot...then they go to a 5 minute commercial break. When they return they catch you back up on some of the same video footage like you forgot where you were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the commercial break thing but I dont know if it has as much to do with the actual show as it does the channel its being played on. I could be wrong but I think the shows producers gives the video to the outdoor channel and they edit in the commercial breaks and stuff like that because it seems like every show has the same "Outdoor Channel Name bar" that shows up when a new person comes on screen. I believe that the Outdoor Channel has more control over that than the actual show producers but again, I could be totally wrong. I dont know much about how the hunting shows work.
