My first Pesting Video... (updated 06/02/17)

"LDP"I guess a better answer for your question on editing from my perspective would be this: When im doing my post production I look for any unique interactions or actions that I missed during the live filming that add to the scene. So one shot may be one minute long and the next could be ten seconds. I think it adds a little depth instead of just one cut scene of shot after shot. My next step will be to try to add more depth into my videos so it appeals to more viewers. Post production isnt as easy as it looks especially when you start adding effects and other added things like scrolling text or banners. It gets even harder if you start doing cameos in the videos. My goal is to get the videos to a complete stage that covers multiple points instead of just kill shots. Its a slow progression but I hope to get there.
That is exactly what I need to do, add a little bit more depth to it. : )
I tried transitions and stuff like that as well, but I decided to go without them. Too much work. I have a million other things to do, you know?! : )

thanks,

Damn, that place is infested with those little buggers. I had the privilege of pdogging and ground squirrel hunting for three whole days on the ranch of one of my friends father in Arizona. Never realised those things could do so much damage. His father had horses and cattle on the grounds, my buddy had to shoot one cow because her leg was broken when she tripped and got stuck in a hole, was some good meet by the way (the cow that is). We used .30 cal and .223 centerfire by the way, man those things explode when you hit them. Don't even bother with a head shot, just the sheer impact of a .223 alone rips them to shreds. Never new those things could fly.

I've never been the hunter type, but then en there I understood the major importance of pest control. That ranch was also infested, and cows and horses don't go well with those diggers. We lost count, but I think we've shot well over 400 of those buggers in 3 days. And the predators had a feast also. ;)

Sure is! : )

I hear that a lot from farmers. Before I got into "pesting" I had no idea either that PD cause such problems...

I have seen videos on YT where people use the same type of guns you did. To be honest, I find it a bit gross seeing them "explode". On the other hand, you know that they do not suffer, in case your shot placement wasn't perfect.

400, in 3 days? Wow. : )

400, give or take a few. But the ranch is 2000 square miles, so that's 0,2 critter KIA per square mile. All of a sudden it doesn't sound that much, does it. ;) 

Yeah, at first it;s gross to see them explode, literally. But after seeing that cow suffer, learning about the economic loss and the suffering of the horses and cows, I honestly didn't have much of an issue with pulling the trigger on them. And I love horses, so that made it a lot easier for me personally. Crossing the country side on horse back, sleeping under the stars, tasting the feeling of absolute freedom, I must admit that it has been one of the best experiences ever. And, I learned that pest control is a necessary evil, so to speak.
