Fans from across the states

[Select One Mortgage TEAM]

Wondering what the viewers from across the states think of the Battle of the Bow series, (mainly people who dont know anyone in the show, but both are welcome). Would like any imput you have on the show good or bad, any thing to make it better, for both the producers and the hunter/videographer. Feel free to comment on teams you like or dislike and why. Your advice could make a difference on how this is run in the years to come.

Something for next year might be to have more training with the cameras before the season. I know this year the teams had very minimal time to get used to the cameras.

TURKEY SEASON is just around the corner. anyhting that they can video is great.

Oh come on Jake. You had 2 months! Seriously, it is really hard to film in the woods. The teams did great and I could have helped with a little more instruction-but it's cool, lesson learned for next season.

Im sorry, I suppose our team just didn't use our 2 months wisely. I guess I ment hunting/video training. Filming hanging stands or your partner doing something might help getting used to the camera but it wont teach you everything you need to know about filming a deer, the sound quality, white balance, and staying focused on the deer even after the shot. Im sure there is no easy way to learn form this in the early season, but practicing as much as possible in different situations might have helped, which we didn't do. And maybe the inexperience is what made the show so real!

I guess I didnt know that we had a problem with the cameras? I thought that the footage I taped was pretty good. Joey going over the cameras with us was enough for me to figure everything out. He went over the white balance with us at least twice and then turns out we didnt have to balance it at all. The sound was set on auto so there was no problem there. So I dont see where the problem was? You must not have filmed me enough we'll fix that next year.......

i already signed up for the next show, i hope i get picked my buddy and i think it's the best hunting show on right now!!! we feel it portrays people like us every day hunters. not on some ranch waiting for a big moster to walk in on a string.......

[Heath Daniel Postma]

I am from Michigan, I loved the fact that there were everyday hunters hunting in between work etc. It was a fresh new scene, not the typical hunting show with pro staff hunters who get to hunt hard all season as there job, hunt on highly managed lands, and high fence operations. I love the fact that it was showing the highs and lows of everyday hunting, showing the rewards of working hard to get on deer and not just paying big bucks to get put in a field full of 5.5 year old deer. I would rather shoot a 2.5 year old deer that I worked hard to get on and get a shot at than a 200" monster on a ranch. Thank you for showing real life hunting. I look forward to the seasons to come and am looking forward to the possibility of being part of the show. One suggestion I have is to possibly have a little more information on why certain places are being hunted at certain times, why certain strategies are being used etc. What went into the preperation etc. in order to help educate everyday hunters on how and why things are done instead of simply showing the end result. I would have liked to see more of a introduction and recap of the events that unfolded etc. If other Mid West states can get involved that would be great, if not, thank you for a breath of reality in the over commercialized hunting industry.
