Because we film for a hutning DVD/TV show production company. We have to use high end cameras and aly down the best footage that we can, therefore- we need a cameraman.
I've told him to be quiet. Earlier in the year he was bringing a huge hiking pack, a big camera bag, a scent lok bag and the top portion of a climber...to each stand, each hunt.
I hate that. I like to bring as little as possible. I told him to lighten the load. He did, a little. I bring a fanny pack or a small back pack and my bow- thats it !
I always tell him to shut up, but he doesnt think he it doing anything wrong. I just hate hearing noises that are un-natural to the woods while we hunt. Heck, if he hunts with me enough, those noises are going to BECOME natural to the woods.
Why don't you get a camera that mounts to your bow? Just you but you'll still have footage.

Why at this point are you bringing a cameraman with you, why are you even shooting hunting videos? This is my ninth season and I have taken 13 bucks over the years but I have no desire to put that kind of pressure on myself. You might not see it but you are putting yourself into a position where you are not enjoying the hunt. Maybe you should take a few days away from the camera and get out without any pressure or drama. Maybe carting around a camera guy and filming isn't what you truly want to accomplish when you search deep down inside. Just a thought brother but I don't see you having fun and that is what it is truely about.
Hope things turn around for you, the season is still young and you have time to get some good footage coming up.

Yeah, well at least he wasn't wearing GoreTex waders in sub freezing weather and smelling like cigarette smoke while on the trail of a world record brown bear like I had to put up with from my partner this morning. He's just learning to bowhunt so I've got to cut him some slack but criminy sakes! It's a freaking bear the size of some cars! I don't want him knowing we're there! Luckily when we blew him out of bed at 30 yds. he didn't care to see what the wind had brought him, he just wanted away from it.

Tine- Please don't take what I am about to say the wrong way, only trying to have you see this as some of us might. From what I have gathered you are relatively new to bowhunting and have appeared to have success. You are passionate about what you do and want to succeed in your quest. You are dedicated and obsessed like many of us which I admire.
