Got lots of good pics on the trail cameras so far and got one big boy I'd love to get a shot at... !

Come on Keith, if you got trail cam photos let's see them.

I just got my copy in the mail on Monday and watched it. Yet another great asp video. One thing I missed from the newest video was the date each sequence happened. It is nice to see what days they started to rut more or when they were responsive.

Hopefully I don't have to wait 2 more years for another one...

The reality is you don't need tons of kills to make the video. Showing the calling sequences and failures is what is fun. The days that nothing calls and comes in. It doesn't have to be like a Primos video where they bugle and a bull comes running in and they have 20 kill shots every video. Seems like the 2005 and 2006 videos were more about the hunt and less the kill setup/sequence. Great job though Shannon. It's the best set of videos out there for us wetside hunters.

Well said... That first call in on this new video speaks a 1000 words... It was great to watch that bull come in completely quiet! We had one bust us last year when we were sitting around bs'ing on a way up to set up our spike camp. We sat for a bit and bugled a few times and as we got up the bull was 45-50 yards below us and busted out of there, I plan to spend some more time planted in one spot calling when I know the elk are around next year....

Boy, after these comments, I need to get back to Archery World to pick up a copy. I have the last copy and I was quite pleased with it. I still pop it in now and then. By the way Shannon, thanks for the tips and stories you and Glen presented at the seminar. Being fairly new to elk hunting I try to pick up any info I can.

Over all good video, I do like the first two better though. I think the video quality is not as good as the others. Most of the shots were out of focus and blurry. I didn't like how they bounced back and forth between Oregon and Washington, 2007 and 2008. Besides that, good stuff like always, real life hunting! A few of those bulls were bigger than your typical SW washington bull. My copy came in on Friday and I watched it on the lap top at the hotel room the night before me and the wife went on a little scouting trip

I try to keep them in order. (As the season progresses).
Would you like to see the Oregon hunts grouped?

As for the focus. This drives me crazy as well... when I'm filiming and calling I have to use auto focus since I am not able to burry my head behind the camera.

So far I have: Put the dates back in, Group by state, Better focus. (More kills and bigger bulls... always on the list)

How many would be interested in a video view and discussion?

Shannon,impo yes,I would love to see the season grouped by state and year. I also feel your pain on the focus factor, it is one of the hardest parts of filming and also drives me nuts with all the branches and grass that get in the way. I thought this video's bulls where bigger than the previous years general season bulls,that is what most of us are hunting down there anyways,for me it brings a "real feel" that the viewer can relate to. What camera are you using, I am working my way up to the pro style camera's I bought a Sony SR12 HD 120 GB last season and like it a lot better than the $200 cam I had before.

Sony VX2100 at the moment. tossing around the idea of an HD just dont know if its worth it for a hunting camera. Im also a little scared of the Hard drive cameras, would hate to delete footage for the chance at more and if the camera was damaged, data recovery would be a chore..

I would like to see a big homestate blues bull on your next video

I think HD would be great. You know you have to get there eventually so you might as well start now. Also, some of the footage would help in HD quality. I don't mind the blurry video and issues because it means you are out there and really hunting public land. Stuff happens and if you want it perfect you basically have to be on a ranch or in a treestand. No thanks.

I think stick with what works. 2005 was a great video as well as 2006. That was grouped in state I think and we got to see the thing through the season from start to finish. More kill shots and bigger bulls would be good like you stated, but you really don't need it like I said. Just like hunting, many of us like the journey, not just the kill shot.

I film my hunts with a hard drive camera, and I would change if I bought another camera. I had 15 minutes of video of an Idaho state archery record bull up to, and including, the missed shot at 40 yards and the call back in at 10 yards with no shot. It was tremendous footage that I'll probably never get again. We watched it in camp over and over. The next day the camera came unscrewed off the tripod on the 4 wheeler, and my buddy's 4 wheeler ran over it. There was no chance of saving the footage as JVC had to completely replace the hard drive and optics to fix it. Yeah, I should have backed it up in camp that night (I had my laptop and blank DVD's just for that), but the simple fact is that I didn't. Now the hunting world won't get to share that footage, and it really was dang good footage.

Plus, I had no camera to record the rest of the hunts that year; we took a couple bulls that could have been pretty easy footage.

I know forensic computer specialists that could have gotten the data off the hard drive. You can pay to have this done as well. They essentially repair and and remove the data. Interesting stuff really.
