First one on video

[Porcupine]

So myself and jnwb decided to try to videotape our hunts this year. This was our 3rd time out this year. 1st time-nothing, 2nd time-Doe is way smarter than us, 3rd time- 10 yard shot out of my box blind. Nockturnals are REALLY bright. She went about 150 yards on a dead run. Hopefully it is ok to post the You Tube link. If not please delete.

Cool, the shot sounds really LOUD with volume up to hear the whispering.

[Porcupine]

I agree on the loud part. I thought the same thing when i watched it last night. It has got me thinking about the blind. It is a wood blind with nothing in it. I am considering adding accoustic foam or something on the inside to dampen some of that noise. Obviously, my bow is not that loud. By the way it is a Elite GT500 and the broadhead was a Rage 2 blade.

Nice! It's always a challenge videoing. What did you find during the autopsy - did you catch near-side lung & liver or was it liver/intestine? Got to love lighted nocks! Congrats on the doe.

[Porcupine]

Nicked the near Lung, destroyed the Liver, and some of the stomach.

I assume the arrow was stinky then. Did you have some real fear during the tracking job then? I would guess she didn't leave a great blood trail then?

[Porcupine]

We watched the replay a couple times and decided not to wait (that and the coyotes literally don't give you a chance to wait) She actually was bleeding OK, not great but 75 yards of her run was through pine trees. Really hard to see blood on a blanket of pine needles. Her total run lasted seconds. tracking took about 45 minutes. Arrow was covered mainly in blood (Dark Red Liver Blood) Again, I would normally wait at least an hour on that shot but did that last year and it was half gone already.

Wow they must be thick down there. Your next video should be of you dusting a coyote or ten...

[paceman]

Cool Video!

[JBone]

Yotes are thick on the SW Iowa border also!!!!! Leave a deer till morning means not much meat for the freezer

Way to go on the video.

A little carpet on the walls will deaden the sound the longer the shag the better

Nice Job.

What kind of camera?? Thanks for sharing!

[musky hunter]

Nice job! Might not make Campbell Cameras top ten, but the fact is you got it on video. Capturing a hunt on video brings in a whole new level of difficulty to the hunt and opportunity for more folks to enjoy the sport.

[Porcupine]

The camera is a Canon Vixia HF M30. It is an HD camera but the video uploaded to YouTube is converted the SD.

[sticknstring]

I've got a JVC Everio HD cam that records into it's own format. In order to share clips, you need to convert it. The quality ends up suffereing and file sizes are too big. I've got lots of good footage but it's just not practical to do anything with it. I'm pretty raw to the whole video editing/conversion thing though.
