Ha! You look like one of the "walnut brigade"!
Nice to see you wearing the pouch high and tight where it belongs. I ended up in a dash through broken ground and brush once early on before I learned how to wear the gear properly. A flopping, flailing bag just naturally dispenses your gear in the most efficient and random manner possible such that recovery is guaranteed impossible. A good midwinter rabbit hunt ruined by missing accouterments. High and tight also keeps it from hanging up on branches and the like.
Yeah, I know what you say about filming a hunt and getting the shot. When the camera isn't actually preventing the shot, the shot prevents the camera from shot! I hate to say it, but you may have to stage things after the fact. That means you can concentrate on the shooter getting his game and THEN you start filming. You film the shooter going and collecting the game, posing with the prey, etc. Then you go back and film the shooter acting out the spot, stalk, aim, and shot. Creative editing then fixes the order of events. That's how virtually all of the stuff you see on the hook and bullet shows do it.
You and Kevin should really come out to the Black Hills for this spring's turkey camp in May. I can tell you without reservation that our western Merriams ADORE his boxcall! These gobblers roar like a bull moose when they hear it! And best of all, where we have been hunting the last few years the forest cover is open enough that filming the bird coming in is completely possible!
