Here is the edited video from our October 22 hunt. It is essentially a highlight film; Jake took about a half-hour of footage and cut it down to 8.5 minutes. He took out most of the talking, you know the standard "We're here in..." and "We're gonna back out and then go look for the deer in..." and "I smoked him!"
Actually, I didn't say that I smoked him, on or off camera. That expression really gets on my nerves when I hear it on hunting shows and, to me, is only appropriate when used in reference to meat preparation.
The footage though, fills me with pride; not so much because of the deer but more because of all the hard work my 10-year-old son put in on the video. Taping this hunt will forever preserve the memories of a great day we had together. I should warn you though, that it does contain an impact shot and some rather graphic frames of a field-dressed deer. If you're squeamish, you should hit stop about the time Cowboy fires up the tractor.
Meanwhile, Nick and I hunted the muzzleloader opener together. We saw lots of deer, including one huge buck. Nick had the crosshairs of the Thompson Center Impact on it at 91 yards.
"Do I have the green light?" he asked me. I told him to wait until it came a little closer just before the buck disappeared into the woods.
We're hoping to get a hunt or two in over the next couple days, so I'll have more on the muzzleloader hunt later this week. Hope you enjoy the video!
