A question for you about hunting... (Patreon)
Content
Recently I did a field-to-table hunting trip, which I posted video from. I did it for my own sake, and paid for the whole thing - I filmed it because it seemed fun, and I really liked the experience and the outfit that ran it. Well, perhaps not surprisingly, that outfit wants to bring me back for a second event specifically to film as promotion for their (small) company.
I am happy to help them out with some video, but my issue is that hunting material really isn't what Forgotten Weapons is about. If I'm going to do something hunting-centric (and doing it as essentially a sponsored video in exchange for the trip/hunt), I want it tobe of interest to my audience - i.e., you. So here's my question:
What sort of hunting-based video content would you enjoy seeing, if any? The obvious answer to me would be a buffalo hunt, but I don't like that idea for a couple reasons. First, that sort of thing is basically all farm slaughter rather than real hunting. Second, the two historical ways to recreate it would be as a white hunter with a Sharps or as an Indian with a Winchester 73. Well, the 73 is way underpowered to be considered ethical today, and the white hunters essentially slaughtered herds to almost literal extinction to take skins and generally leave the meat to rot - not something I really am excited to portray.
The bulk of this company's opportunities are shooting wild hog in Texas, but they also do deer, turkey, waterfowl, and potentially elk. What would make one of those an interesting piece of Forgotten Weapons content for you, if anything?
Thanks!
