"February" - Post Season in Kentucky

"February" - Post Season in Kentucky

by: Bluegrass Bowhunter

It was one of those February days. Feeling a little stir crazy around the house, I felt it was time to hit the woods. No exceptions other than enjoying the scenery were on the agenda. Seems like these are often my most productive days afield. No pressure was the motto.  Walking around looking at the old rubs and scrapes can cleanse the mind of all the hustle and bustle of daily life. I find that this is also my best time of the year to really figure out what’s going on. The thicket that was once off limits is now fair game. "Why didn't I hunt here?” seems to be the common thought in my head.  I absolutely love every minute of it! Then all of a sudden you hit the post deer season lottery. A really nice shed antler, or a set if you're a truly lucky individual. The piece start to fall together and new life is breathed into the mentally worn out post-season hunter. Excited of what might be in the coming months and fall are all that consume you. I love post season…

Producing an outdoor television show is one of the most challenging things I have ever done. But with that being said, I have never enjoyed a hobby as much as I do this one. When most people think about filming a hunt, the first thing that comes to mind is the kill shot. When you turn on a hunting show, its no secret, there's a really good chance you're going to see at least one kill shot; that's what the viewer expects. With that being said, most hunters would consider themselves entertained by most ethical kill shots on outdoor television. Planting food plots, driving to camp, and hanging stands are all part of the hunting experience. These things are all necessary parts of the story that the viewer needs to see. In my opinion, the ability to show the viewer these things in a creative, unique, and entertaining fashion is what separates a great show from the rest and that's what we strive to excel at.

DSLRs play a huge role in our supporting footage. The depth of field and cinematic look they provide give the viewer a look that they aren't used to seeing in an outdoor television show; an image that has so much depth that it looks like you could almost reach out and touch it. Our slider rigs also help us add another dimension to our films. As an outdoor videographer, you have a unique opportunity to show your hunts to your audience exactly how to want them to be seen. When people watch our films, we want to pull them away from everyday life and into the outdoors, tug at their emotions, and make them want to come back for more. If we can achieve that, it's a success in our eyes. The attached video link is an excerpt from a recent archery deer hunt in Georgia. This is short example of how we use "b-roll" and supporting footage to add to the story, show the viewer everything the hunt consists of, and increase overall production value of our films.
