Here is the video of my full opening weekend on public land. Two different WMAs, 2 days of hunting, 2 dead public land longbeards.
Video is 15 minutes long , hope you all enjoy it. It covers the best of the whole hunting experience and not just the kill shots.
Self filmed with a camo'd out tripod and my Lumix FX75 point and shoot in HD video (click the gear icon in the video player and switch to 720p if your internet connection is good).

I couldn't be more fortunate, and never would have guessed my weekend would go so well. My goal was always an opening day gobbler, but I really would not have hoped or guessed for 2 birds in the first 2 days. Thank the Lord for a good start to the season.

Cool video. Congrats on the birds! :icon_thumright:
Congrats! Enjoyed the video, I got a laugh out of the make-shift tube call but it sounded pretty good! :icon_thumright:
Well Done! I enjoyed that
:z-guntootsmiley:
Very nice going , congrats!!
Good job bud!
Dig your video...you got yourself a honey hole there son..I was surprised you weren't beaten' other hunters off. Your video quality is superb..
Dig your tube call and you do a great job with it. I had to laugh though when you said you had to get to the store....I thought you were headed for more shells!
You seem to be a fine young man and are doing a great job..the only tip I'd have..(you may not care).. is maybe a bit more patience. You'll save a bunch of ammo and less shoulder pain..hahaha.
Good job.
Enjoyed the video...looks like you were all over them!
Improvise, adapt and overcome! I've got to say, I'm impressed! Most people, me included, would have been lost without a commercial call. You, on the other hand, just improvised...Hats off to you young man! That quality will serve you well throughout your life...
Loved the vid. Raw, just as it happened. That second gobbler was a classic. Gobbling and showing off...POW! NICE!
Makes me anxious for our starter on the 22nd!
I always like a realistic video! Good video and great birds from the public. I'd rather watch video like this than the same old longbeard madness 52 or whatever they are on now.
Impressive opening weekend! That had to be a roller coaster with the misses and then coming through with dead birds! Congrats!
Those are two great birds. Especially the 2nd bird. Good vid too.
Great video. Way to go on keeping it real. With misses and kills and all. Plus your homemade calls and self videoing. Congrats in two well earned gobblers.
Congrats! Great job on the self video!
I really like your video. A couple of fine birds. Everyone misses, I liked the fact that you showed that. I hope you aren't shooting nitros.haha :toothy12: anyway, congrats and awesome video. :icon_thumright:
congratulations nice birds and a great video.
nice. now thats what I call hanging in there. My best private land don't have birds like that.
