Here is what I am going to start doing so that we keep on top of our footage...not gonna lie, when I first had the thought to start doing video blogs I was like "naw, that's kinda lame".
But then I realized that why do tape everything we do if we are not sharing it? Partly because there are only so many hours in a day and sometimes inspiration/motivation has to come from somewhere. So, I am going to start keeping up to date with new footage, as well as pound out alot of never seen before rank footage of some pretty cool hunts we have been on, some successful, and many that weren't...
Grand Prize-Big Game Shoulder Mount (deer only)
Third Grand Prize-European Head Mount
