5 Most Common Mistakes When Videoing Hunts

The most-common mistake that most videographers make is: they don’t get close enough to the hunter, when they are videoing the hunt. This problem comes from not establishing who is in charge, before the hunt. In most instances, the hunter assumes that he’s in charge of the hunt, because he’s the one who will be taking the shot. However, to get good videography of the hunt, the man with the camera has to be in

Hank Parker - Ultimate Joy from Taking a Big Buck and My Greatest Moment in the Outdoors

I am often asked about the greatest moment I ever have had in the outdoors or the highest point in my outdoor career. People assume I’ll answer, “Winning the Bassmaster Classic,” or “Being named Angler of the Year on the Bassmaster circuit,” or “Taking a trophy buck.” But actually none of those great moments are my greatest outdoor moment.

Hank Parker on the Worst Things That Can Happen with a Buck within Bow Range

Distractions are the name of the game when a big buck is coming in close toward a hunter. Having to itch, scratch, cough, clear your throat, swat mosquitoes and/or pick ticks in warm weather, or perhaps the weather is 10 degrees below zero, and your nose is running like a water faucet, will each cause you to break concentration and possibly spook a buck when he’s in close.

Hank Parker on Preventing the Buck from Seeing You Move or Draw

Like many bowhunters, I want to get a deer in close before I shoot. I’m often asked, “Hank, how do you know when to take the shot?” To take a buck when he is in close, the most-important factor is the body language of the deer to gauge when you can and cannot move.

Hank Parker Says that Mossy Oak Always Makes the Difference

When asked about a hunt when Mossy Oak has made the difference between my family having a full or an empty freezer. I can’t pick out just one hunt simply because there are too many to count. Most of the time when I’m hunting, one or two deer will look at me in the tree. When those deer don’t spook and can’t identify me as a human is a hunt made successful by Mossy Oak.

The old hunter put his hand on my arm and said, “You need to wait a little while. Let’s go over here, sit down, and wait before you call.” Surprised, I asked, “Why do I need to wait before I call?” He proceeded to give me some tremendously-helpful wisdom I never have forgotten.

Lisa Jane – What She Sees as Her Future in Hunting

I’d like to travel the globe, researching hunting practices of different cultures and exploring the lives of individuals dependent on hunting for their diets.

Lisa Jane on Why She Enjoys Social Media

Once I started hunting, blogging almost seemed like a natural next step. I graduated from Niagara University with a degree in English and writing. When I took a course in creative nonfiction (telling real stories in a creative way), I realized I could utilize my creativity to write about normal, everyday things. Just like my hunting, I feel I got my storytelling gift from my granddad, who was an avid Irish storyteller.

Lisa Jane on Why She Likes Bowhunting and How the Sport Empowers Her

I’m often asked, “Why do you believe women should consider shooting a bow?” I believe all women should have at least a rudimentary working knowledge of firearms as well as archery. However, I like the challenge of a bow. You have to be aware of so many things about the bow from your form to anchor point to be able to shoot it successfully. I think every woman should shoot archery, because the sport is
