No. To me hunting and fishing shows are about as exciting as watching paint dry. I imagine it would be even more boring if it's watching myself and I already know what's going to happen

I video all my hunts using a GoPro Session 5 and assorted mounts. There was a significant learning curve before I was able to start catching decent video. Editing and presenting the video in a way that people will want to watch takes a LOT of time and talent (I'm lacking in talent). I take great pleasure in the process. It has enhanced my enjoyment of my hunting a great deal and allows me to participate in my hobby even more than I was before.

A friend of mine has brain cancer. He's been through three surgeries and is still fighting hard. He's likely lose his battle (as will all of us) but I have video of him hunting with me that will forever allow me to remember some of the best times we shared. Likewise, as I've aged hunting has become more about the times with my friends than the quantity of the take. All the men (and a few women) in my videos will have a permanent place in my memories.



My oldest bird dog, Rhett, died this past December. I have hours of video of him and will have it forever. The videos are a digital manifestation of my memories and allow me to share him with others (such as yourselves).



My youngest dog, Dot, had her first hunting season this past year. I can watch her first tentative points on wild quail progress to handling wild coveys like an old-timer in the space of a couple months. With all my other dogs that magical first year is only a memory which has faded with time.



I guess my point is that a camera can make your hunting more pleasurable. It's not for everyone. Your friends will complain about being on camera until you start sending them the videos. You'll struggle with the additional equipment and focus on filming until one day you don't. The cameras are cheap and effective. Get one and try it out.

And why, today, remember misses?

Dogs rule! Never trust anyone who doesn't like dogs……...


Some people have such a toxic and rancid personality that even death doesn't want them!

Never! Unless you're AOC or Nancy Palosi it's hard to lie about it when there's video.


There's only 2 seasons in a year. Deer season and getting ready for deer season.

I used to video tape almost all of my hunts. I've got some great video memories of my son shooting his first deer and us tracking deer etc.
