Well, kinda-sorta-
Got a call from Bill Earl at Lamont Outdoors in Southeastern Illinois-a new outfitter featured here on HC, that I have a Fall bowhunt trip booked with in November.
Bill's a class act-has already been in contact with me a few times this year providing scouting information, weather condition updates (drought conditions pretty bad here in Illinois) as well as information on the local herd, mast crops and food plot info.
Anyhow, asked if I'd mind having my hunt filmed for an outdoor spot. I got so darned excited talking with Bill about the bucks that I forgot to ask him who is doing the film shoot. He mentioned that some fellas don't want to be bothered with a guy trailing them with a camera, etc.
The way I figured it, I'd probably be taken to some of the better spots and have an edge on opportunity seeing as how the outfitter would want to place themselves in a good light for marketing purposes;) Sounds like a good Win-Win situation to me! I told Bill sure! Why not?
Then I got to thinking...boy, if I booger-up a close shot, why I'll never hear the end of it from my friends and family. So far I have a perfect one-shot, one kill track record on all my game through the years but I know the odds build whereupon that will most likely change someday. Hopefully, this November will not be THAT day.
Oh the pressure!!!!:D :D :D
Man I'd better get my butt in high gear with the tuning and practice.
