Zoom Out

When you are filming your own hunts, the workload can get overwhelming.  Trying to frame up the deer perfectly is almost out of the question.  You can bet that as soon as you frame him up and you grab your bow/gun, he will move out of your shot.  So, when do have a deer providing a shot to you and you intend on taking them, here is the best method to capture it on film. 

1. Zoom the camera all the way out.  
2. Frame up your shot area (the area you can shoot your bow or gun).
3. Hit record and leave the camera alone. 
4. Take your shot.

Admittadly your video will not be a close up shot, but chances are you will get the hit on tape.  If you zoom in too far, you will most likely get half the deer and it will be the half without the arrow.  So, zoom out and capture the moment and don't worry about perfect video.  Some is better than none.

Until next time...I'm rolling.
