I used to video hunt with a couple of buddies and we got some great footage but as time goes by people get busy and it seems the season gets shorter so it got harder to team up to get quality footage. I did the whole video tape my own hunt thing and had a few nice doe kills that way but obviously quality went down from fumbling between bow and camera. Also messed me up on what would have been my biggest buck. I ended up shooting a 140 in the shoulder because he was in camera frame instead of waiting for him to take a few more steps and get a perfect angle but out of viewfinder. To boot I double punched the record button, trailed him for two days to no avail. That was when i was shooting for a sponsered team and the pressure of trying to get footage got to be too much and the fun was taken out of it. Last year i didn't bring a camera with me once and shot a great ten point. I miss videohunting so this year i am going to just make a mount for my iphone on my stabilizer and catch whatever footage I can on that. It takes hd video and after I press record I don't have anything else to think about but making the shot. Sure the "shot" will be shaky but better than nothing.
