Post by GooGoos »

Well tonight dad && I got set up in the stand at about 4:30. On the way into the stand we bumped a deer right where we were gunna sit :/ Not the way I wanted to start the hunt, but thats huntin. At about 6:00 we had some deer go by us at about 100yds. Never came in close enough for a shot. Then right at dark...

Nice shot Sabrina!
I didn't think it'd be much longer before we saw these pics.
Congrats to you and your dad.
We'll be waiting to see the pics of you two with a deer down soon. :)

Great job, looks like moving your stand worked. Usually when I do that they end up coming under the tree I was previously sitting in. Congratulations!

GREAT JOB!!!!

You gotta work on the videographer and producer though... :lol:

The main components of video

1. Intro, you telling about hunt you are getting ready to go on as you get ready.

2. lead up and B Roll, video of you you giving updates periodically in the stand and misc video while waiting, including close calls.

3. climax, the animal coming in, the shot, and the follow-up celebration

4. closing, you with your kill recapping the hunt.

Never know you and dad might find a new career!
