I have hours of hunting video, almost all bow hunting. This was all done with a flip cam and flip editor, so not many options. I put together several short clips, shots on game. There are pigs, deer and turkey. I had also got an 800 yard kill on a pig using the flip with a spotting scope. For kicks, I added the 800 yd shot at the end of the video. I alsojust got a youtube account, so not sure if this is going to work. Best to look at this full screen, not much zoom with the flip.

That was actually a double that my son shot. The first was hit in shoulder, the one behind in the skull. the first one squeeled until he pulled himself off the arrow and ran away. (not too far)
look again, the head shot pig rolls over with arrow in his head as the other runs off.

Rifle was an SPS tachtical 308. Bullet was 175 SMK from SW Ammo.
The hit was center shoulder and exited the other side. This is Texas hill country, so it took me about ten minutes to drive over to him. He was still kicking, but not going anywhere. I had to stick him with a knife to finish him off. These pigs are tough. I also have the knife work on video, but not going to post that.

You have become death! Dang I wish I got to hunt that often, and to have that much success. Your blue feeder is one ot the most productive spots I've ever seen or heard about.

I just purchased my first bow, two months ago. I can't wait to run an arrow through some hogs, and coyotes with it. I guess your were in a ground blind?

Nice work on the videos!

All of those videos were shot with a flip cam. The feeder is about 17 yards from the blind. The flip is very limited on zoom, so the closer the better. I just purchased a Canon HD camera. I tested it out this weekend. So far so good. Videos will be much better in the future.

Yes, that location is very productive. I think I saw something every time I sat in the blind last year. (deer, turkey, pigs. audad) Always see deer. I'm in that blind at least 4 times every weekend for 4 months straight. It is a ground blind. I have a tripod setup over the same feeder, but no way to shoot video right now. I'm working on that. I just got a Canon HD camera, and also working on video cam mounts for all of my blinds/stands.
This years videos will be much better, and from other setups.

Not yet, but I think they are working over to you.
