This is a good question nv_hunter. Something you will be glad you asked for opinions before you just said "yes." I've been producing an outdoors show for almost 7 years now, have gone on many hunts and have also guided hunters who had a production crew along while we hunted elk. Most of the hunts I've filmed have been with friends who were fortunate to draw a tag and know what expectations I have when recording a hunt.
Here are a few things I talk about with my friends before we hunt.
1. The "crew" should never interfere with your hunt...period. I'm the only one who goes on hunts. I don't send my producer, he doesn't have the experience afield, doesn't hunt and at times doesn't know when it's appropriate to talk or not move. You don't need nor do you want 2-3 people following you, making it sound like a herd of elephants while making a critical stalk you've waited years to try.
2. If there is ever a situation where you have to go alone, then the camera stays put...period. Again, this is YOUR hunt, they are YOUR guests. The "crew" should never direct anything. They are there to witness, not interfere.
3. Things happen on hunts that you or I don't necessarily want to show on tv. If you do decide to do this, you should have an understanding that if something goes wrong, then you have a voice on how the story should be told or if it should even be told at all.
I go first and foremost to be with my friends and to tell a good story. I also try to be an asset on the hunt. Whether that is glassing a hill, checking out a drainage, sizing up a buck or making breakfast. This hunt is something you'll remember for the rest of your life. Do you trust this outfit? Do they have the appropriate credentials? Does having the hunt on tv diminish or add to your memory? Will the crew be an asset or a bother on the hunt? These are questions only you can answer. I hope this helps....fstop
