Hunt for a Better Video!
I am always a little suspicious when I pop a new video in the VCR and it doesn't track correctly. I was also wondering why it appeared there was only a few feet of tape wound in the cassette. The reason? This video is recorded in "extended play"! Yup, you pay good money and receive an extremely poor-quality tape. But that's just the physical side of things. The content is even worse. This production can be considered nothing less than a complete joke. Although some knowledge about hunting whitetail deer is provided (nothing beyond the very basics), the majority of the tape is a poorly-acted self-narrative of a couple guys out in the field supposedly hunting whitetail deer. There is one scene of an actual kill, but the script, photography, and hype of the entire tape are so cheesy as to be laughable. As a matter of fact, I would be laughing right now, except for the fact I paid $... plus shipping to receive this ridiculous piece of garbage. One example: the last ten minutes of the tape is wasted by a phony self-narrative of one of the hunters supposedly stalking a certain buck he says he has been trying to nail for years. After 10 minutes of plastic lip-service and fake stalking, the hunter finally gets the deer in his scope - and lets him go! That's right - no shot. Why? Probably because it is all fake. Except for the 10-second clip of a whitetail actually getting shot and beginning to fall, I believe all the video of deer is just that - video of deer out in the field (not being hunted). I believe all of the so-called "hunting" was fake play-acting for the benefit of the camera. My recommendation? Hunt for a better video. I would offer mine for sale, but I wouldn't feel right about collecting money for something that is a complete waste of time and energy.
