I like your teasers! I see your niche now...and I can understand what you mean about the same old same old sponsors.
Looks fun too...and you guys get some pretty big fish!

I also agree about it being industry shows and rich guys shows. The rich guys are the ones that screwed it all up I feel. I cant understand how they can just blow their money like that!

I hate to see you give up. You might want to contact Bravo or other channels as to a reality show.

I was recently contacted by a former employee ( cameraman and editor) that did some work for them. Thye are looking for southern people for reality shows after the success of the Swamp guys shows, the hogger show and duck dynasty. It seems america cant get enough of rednecks and were seeing if I knew anyone like that!

I told them just go to any hunting club in the south..theres enough comedy and drama to make a good series. You might want to call them. I will call him and direct him to your trailers too buddy.
I wish you the best of luck. Good video too by the way. Your footage is very good compared to alot out there.

Thanks man, appreciate that. We have a good time with it for sure. We will see what the future holds. I'm glad to see somebody provide some insight to the public on it. Everybody thinks these guys are living the dream....a few of them are...most unfortunately not so much...

I had gotten the same thing..how LUCKY I was doing it....I just wanted people to know the real deal. If you EVER need any advice or help..ask me..if I can I will!

Here comes a good one...

Two words...."minivan mafia"...hook us up!

Dang. I didnt know Brad was starting a new show! I thought he retired like me! I thought He left Primos because he wanted to not travel so much and spend more time with family.

Well..one things for sure. Brad knows how to roll out a quality product. He did real well at being the head of video at Primos and going from just videos to getting the brand on TV as well.

I will have to look up and see what his sponsors are. Id be VERY curious to see if Primos is one!

If you notice youll see that antler insanity IS NOT sponsored by Primos..even though it stars two of his former TV prostaffers.

I believe they have the busbices backing them as call sponsors .

I can understand him getting back. It is HARD to let go..honestly. It becomes a lifestyle...and the friends you make and the good times you had..just keep making you want to do it again. The first year of retirement was TOUGH!

Also..industry people and companies keep calling you to get you to back there products and support you, or to get you to do shows with them.

I had two other producers call me this year..trying to get me to do a show with them, and to use the industry support we had already established.
They both had 3-4 companies wanting to support them..and knew I could bring 3-4 companies on board easily as well.

I ended up steering them both to each other and letting them know that I am done.

They should be starting in June too, and on Sportsman as well..or that was the plan. Its ALOT easier to get sponsors for the 3rd and 4th quarter..as that is the season for most product lines.

Im going to call them both today after seeing that just to see if they made it work. I know they both went to the SHOT, the ATA show and the NWTF show..and I think they had enough sposnors behind them to make some money. Now Im curious to see if they did.

well..im talking to someone right now that says Brad is doing the show with some major industry backing..and that PRIMOS calls IS the title sponsor.

Hes says Brad is doing it with Warm Springs production and he says the production values are really good! Ill record it for sure. It sounds like it will be a good show!

well..after searching now on the internet it looks like a pretty good show..with great footage. I still havent found any additional sponsor info,..but its nice to see Primos backing it!
They are still the calls I use. I love the stacked frame calls personally.
Of course..I love the Can too. That sucker really can call in some bucks during the rut IMO.

Thanks for turning us onto it arKIC! a show I can look forward to!
Im very interested to see its production values as that is a good production company they are using. The trailer is great I think. And Brad is a fair chase hunter for sure

LOL!!! Are you communicating with anyone in this thread? Or do you see and hear the ghost of Big Jack?

Warm Springs is a great production house. They were they talent behind the Buck Commander show and bring to the table what I love "the aireal shot" into the game. It's the little things that get me excited about production value, dollies, sliders, and gibs take normal footage and makes it epic!

What I really like about them is that they shoot like I think!! Outside of the box!! If you are doing what they other guy is doing, well you really ain't accomplished anything!!

Just from the teaser I see aspects from past shows I loved. Like 3d maps that were used by Cuz in Obsession Revealed.... That takes me back to being a young teenager and reading magazines. best instructions I could have ever learned from!! To me a show is not about the kill, it's about the hunt, its getting there, facts, lessons learned and the great outdoors. One of the reasons I loved working with QDMA TV....

To me the best show in the market would be a combination of high production value like Hartland Bowhunters, Hunting the Country and Tred Barta. Instructional value like Obsession Revealed, QDMA Television, and The Management Advantage. And of course the humor that Michael Waddle brings to the screen....

I LOVE the aerial shots too. They use those little build yourself planes right? Ive seen that in Pat and Nicoles show as well.

Yeah tiger..I was talking to arKic here. I was just on the phone when i was posting with a tv producer and didnt want to keep typing as we spoke.

umm...I am Big jack..this is my other name..didnt you know?? Just kidding..lol

Check em out on the link below...

DragonFly

wow,..little drones!~!! they are sharp!

They arent that expensive at all..I just called their sales guy...that dragenflyer x4 is only $5000 and includes a little toy practice copter to get familiar with the system without crashing the real unit!

I would definitely own one if I was still filming shows. The increase to production values and the subsequent increase in appeal to sponsors would be WELL worth it.

Have you used one yet???

Not yet, we were looking into buying one last year and could not justify it... If I owned one I would be selling video like crazy to golf courses!! LOL!

There are tons of things you could do with on if you shot 60FPS in full 1080HD!!

Does that thing not make noise? Seems like it would be hard to operate in the woods.

You can hear it a little bit here... You would not use this to follow hunters to the stand, but on the day you make for B-roll it will be fine...

Video

yea..you use it for b roll and the show beginning and edit out the audio Hawgwild. just use the video.
