Last year, Jeff and I were both successful in our turkey hunting pursuits – Jeff shot a nice jake, and I shot my first bird – a jake – as well.  And we were lucky enough to capture both of those hunts on film too.

I love sharing these videos with all of you, and I love them for selfish reasons as well.  It’s just great to, not only be able to re-live the moment in your mind, but also to be able to see the moment over and over again.  And even though I wasn’t exactly patient when it came to the whole filming thing, so we didn’t get to capture the actual kill on film, it’s still cool to see the emotion that was experienced afterward.

This video is interesting too, because I always tend to be a little hard on TV shows that put so much focus on celebrating after a kill.  But I have to realize that emotion is a huge piece of the hunting puzzle and has to be included.  My elation in this video isn’t necessarily all about the kill; it was more about finally achieving a goal, and about never giving up.  And, in there somewhere, it was about providing some quality food for the table that the whole family feasted on later.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this latest video.  I get so excited in the video that I almost can’t even stand to watch myself.  But it was true, raw emotion; we don’t use cue cards in SimplyOutdoors’ videos.

Enjoy!
