Congratulations Chad on a great segment! Self-filming a hunt is one of the most difficult things to do correctly as a Cinematographer. Just setting up and preparing correct camera angles with your other small cameras is so difficult. Filming all the action as the bird approaches keeping him in view with your main camera is a daunting task. Getting that gun up and making the shot with a bird who`s eyesight is second to none. in detecting even the slightest movement is amazing! Well done again Chad.

Thanks Denny!

Only a Turkey hunter can understand the feeling!

I agree some days I don’t even go out until mid morning

A wonderful hunt and a spectacular spring morning. Loved listening to the birds, Nuthatch, Pileated Woodpecker, Vireos, etc., chipmunks...hard to beat that morning, but you did with icing on the cake: a great majestic Mountain monarch of WV.

Dang brother, you definitely had a better year than we did in Ohio. Dont know exactly why, only theories, our population is WAY down. The first week I only heard 1 bird gobble at daybreak, 1 time and it was way the hell out there. You definitely put in way more time then me, but man, 2022 was my most frustrating Turkey hunting in 20+ years. Although, I have been hearing from people all over the midwest that they too had a terrible year. Good luck in 2023. I will be watching!!

I know all about it. Trust me. I only got on birds once the first week I hunted. Things went a little better for me after that. I wouldn't exactly say I lit the world on fire. Things have been tough for a few years. But I will say this...I feel like we had a decent hatch this past spring! So fingers crossed, they will start making a comeback!🤞

Good hunt! Gobble Gobble

That video was worth the wait. Awesome footage once again. Patience and persistance paid off for you big that time. I always wonder when you are going to find that right time to get the gun ready. You did it with ease and he didnt have a clue you were there. Congrats once again Chad.
