Video From This Week's Hunt

I finally got a little bit of time to get the video clips put together from Tuesday's hunt.  Skies were grey but these were some of the better shots from the morning

Assassin,

Now that is some fine shooting my friend! Considering you were laying down, it makes it even more impressive. Great filming/editing, too!

That truly is a hunt to remember!

Demi

Assassin, thats a cool video. What kind of camera did you use? I know cameras can be deceiving, so what were the distance of some of the shots? Some of them looked a long way out.
What shells/load did you use and what choke?
Ah heck, what gun for that matter, lol?

I am using a GoPro Hero 2 and the mount is one that we made ourselves. We found that the ones on the market for attaching the camera to guns aren't all that good so we just made them ourselves. I have one for the 12 gauge (pictured below) and one for the 20 gauge that is a bit smaller.

As for the gun I am shooting my favorite right now, a Benelli M2 in 20 gauge and using Federal 7.5 target loads with a Patternmaster choke. It's one of the best fitting guns I've shouldered in a long time and I'm really comfortable shooting it.

The video can be a bit deceiving and most of those shots were within 25 yards. There were a few that were maybe 35 or 40 at the most but most of them were decoying into 10 yards. You can see the ones that die right out front and land near the decoys and that was only 10 yards away from where the foot of my blind was.

Yup, you get the general Idea of what is going on, you shoot well in the film footage. You should rig up a camera so you see more of the shooter in the film footage.

Here is an interesting set of photos from last week, I took them while driving the pickup down the road. The crows and I were all headed in the same direction. Lucky I did not put the truck in the ditch while focusing the camera shooting through the windshield of the pickup while driving! Also a shot of "Hillbilly ingenuity"
trying to pull the fence post back!
