Video Reviews.
I enjoy watching hunting videos. The most important aspect of a video is that it is entertaining. When I say entertaining, I don’t mean that it has a good story. I want to see how other people hunt and I want to learn about the game that is being hunted. Here are three reviews of hunting videos.
The
first video is Africa Stick & String Outfitters (SSO).
This is about a bow hunting adventure in Africa.
This video is made by an outfitting organization but it goes
into great detail as to what to look for in an outfitter in Africa.
They talk about shot placement on African plain animals. I have watched many other Africa videos and they all say not to shoot them like white tails. SSO, however, says to shoot them just like you would shoot a white tail. You will see the different plain animals and how to tell them apart. They also talk about what you should see on a good African hunt.
During the video they show how to pack your bow for a trip. In the video the bow is packed in a soft side bow case. When going on a trip of a life time I would not risk my bow in a soft side case. If you are thinking about going to Africa this would be a good DVD to watch.

The next video is Ground Zero by White Knuckle
Productions (WKP).
WKP’s goal is to make high quality videos that have a good
story line. They want
to entertain the hunter that watches the video.
At 2 hour and 15 minutes they could have gone into a little more detail about deer management and other aspects of deer hunting. For the most part they show the hunter waiting for the deer and then either shooting or not shoot at them.
The video is very well shot from a graphic point of view. You learn a lot about the hunters but I expected a little more information about hunting deer and deer management. There was a lot of video that could have been cut that would not have taken away for the DVD. If you want to see a very long TV shows then you will in joy it.

The last video is Deer Skinning and Processing 101. It is a 2 DVD set on how to cut up your deer.
This
video takes the hunter from skinning the deer to the packaging.
It will show you in great details how to cut up you deer the
right way. One thing
that I really like is that you can process the deer with one good
knife. You will not
need any special equipment to get your deer into the freezer.
It also shows the easy and cheapest ways to package your
deer.
This video is long but it shows every detail of processing a deer. It will show you everything you need to do and how to do it. This is a how-to video and seams long at times. If you want to learn how to butcher a deer yourself this is the DVD you want to see.
