Well, things are about to get kicked off for the fall, and like every year, our camera crew is preparing hard for the upcoming season. We are finalizing the travel schedule and determining which camera is going where.
For the past two days, several of our freelance guys have been in the office going over camera equipment and learning how each editor wants their show to be filmed. At first glance, you may think running a camera is just about hitting the record button, but there is so much more to it than that.
Our guys spend a tremendous amount of time learning their equipment so they can make sure they get everything correct when the big moment comes. They watch a ton of outdoor TV to see how specific shows are filmed and they also look at more mainstream shows to see if they can pick up any tips or ideas.
We are expecting some great things this year and everyone is really excited about the schedule. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on the year.
Go Dawgs!

Hey Dave,
My best friend and I started filming each others hunts last year. We had no idea how much fun it is. Can you give us rookies a pointers list on the does and don'ts of filming hunts? Who knows, you might want to see what we are able to cook up this year!

I'm just beginning to learn all the nuances of filming our hunts - it's sure more complicated than I first had figured! And we're nowhere near y'alls production...I can't even imagine. Anyways, whatever they go through, tell 'em to keep it up, cuz it shore looks good by the time it reaches dvd!
Hey David,
Good Luck to everybody this year. I hope this deer season is a good one. I think it is good for the guys to learn about their equipment so they don't have problems in the woods. I hope one day I could film hunts and also hunt in front of the camera for Realtree. Talk to ya later.
God Bless & Good Huntin'

PS: There are four weekends left until bow season opens in GA. Where is the first location for you to hunt??
Hey Dave,
What type, model cameras do your crews use these days??
David I really enjoyed hearing you speak tonight at Blackshear Place Baptist. It was such an encouragement to hear how the Lord has worked in your life and to see Him work through you. Have a great hunting season and maybe one day we will get to share a hunting camp.
In Christ,

Are you having any problems with your Mississippi Delta cameraman, Matthew, running his mouth and disrupting camera school? He can be so loud!

First time viewer, David we met at Bass Pro in northern IL on the 8th. Just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity and info. My question is there a cam. that any hunters use that does a good job that you can pick up at a place like best buy. I know it's small time but you gotta start somewhere right.

Well Im sure your getting excited about the upcoming season.. I no I am.. That camera stuff does look a little tricky. How many cameras do you usually have in one tree???
My girlfriend is going to hopefully tape me this year.. Hopefully we can get our camera stuff figured out.. Who knows maybe you'll see me on tv sometime.. That would be cool talk to you later.. Good Luck
David,
I have a new appreciation for filming and hunting. We have been trying to kill a P & Y on video in Georgia now for two years. It is very challenging to say the least. I can certainly see the advantages of filming in the Midwest after hunting on the Milk River, Illinois, Kansas and other more open areas. I remember some of the first Realtree Videos when most of the Realtree hunts took place in Georgia. I will never forget that bachelor group of big bucks "in velevet" feeding in the kudzu patch. Anyway; we are only 23 days from bow season and we can't wait. The goal is to harvest a P & Y on video, in velvet, the first week. Hey, you might as well dream big if your going to dream. It is going to be an awesome year on the "Hooch" baby!

Great job David. Realtree continues to lead the industry. Good luck this fall. Can't wait to see the footage.
