A poorly filmed wolf experience

[Big Fin]

Last year I shot a wolf while out looking mostly to fill a whitetail doe tag on a client's land. As luck would have it, I didn't have a camera operator with me. So, I just turned on my cell phone and recorded some of my blabbering while it was happening.

The footage has been on my phone for a year. I showed it to Dale the other day and he said he would make something interesting from it. OK, knock yourself out.

Here is what he came up with. I am ready for all the heckling as people see me pull the rookie move of not putting a round in the chamber.

Thats a big ol’smile on your face for sure! Congratulations on a beautiful animal.

Turned out good, as good as many of the polished ones. Very nice wolf! Not having a bullet ready is way easier to understand than packing out wolf meat though..

Seriously- what do/did you do with wolf meat?

Great video, honestly enjoyed that as much as some of the professional ones... your filming is really good all things considered.

It is still in my freezer. I can't get any of the disease ecologists to give me confidence that I won't be stricken with some life-lasting food-born illness normally saved for the guys over at Meateater. I've inquired with one more wildlife disease ecologist last week, but I suspect the response will be another vote of "proceed at your own risk."

When I get confidence from one of them that I wouldn't tip over as a result of eating tainted wolf meat, you are invited. The food will likely suck, but for you I'll upgrade the beer quality my crew normally serves.

Nice! Fun video, as usual. I'd pass eating wolf, slow roasted or not. I think I saw something from you(?) with a group in a kitchen setting - served wolf meat. Maybe I'm confusing the food served. Meh - regardless - enjoyable to watch. I would have given up recording after "X" amount of selfie retakes - haha!

You want me to tip over, but supply good beer for the occasion?

Sounds like a fundraiser for the Fresh Tracks crew. $10 for a wolf taco (heavily seasoned, plus fajita veggies please lol) plus a drink. Plan it for the summer so all of us up there to scout can swing by and get our picture taken with the crew like we're at Disney lol.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing! Is this the wolf you were talking about bringing us a tooth from to age? (This is AJ from Matson’s)

Did your crew give you flack for orienting the phone vertically instead of horizontally? That’s the only way I could tell it was shot on a phone, pretty amazing the quality of video we can get on cell phones now!

I thought it was great. Your reaction when the trigger clicks is exactly how all of us have felt a time or two.

What did you do with the hide/head?

They are at the office. Euro on the head, tanned pelt for the hid.

Your wolf calling also works on tabby cats. Searching all over the house trying to figure out what the hell that was.

Does the camera crew come up with the titles for videos?

 

[VAspeedgoat]

That was awesome, honestly with it all focused on you, the excitement of the moment came through more than if a kill shot would’ve been filmed. Thanks for sharing your hunt without a film crew........kinda.

I got a big ol’ crusty face from Mrs kansasdad when I guffawed out loud at the “click, #*@%$$*!” moment on the empty chamber, interrupting her attempt at catching up on the Great British Baking Show.

You and Dale have made quite the entertaining episode.

Congratulations on your successful outing and for putting out entertaining content.

 

[Talk2elk]

That was super fun to watch, good calling my little dogs where looking around like what the hell.

Congratulations, the video turned out very well for self-filmed phone footage. Always enjoyable and entertaining, thanks for sharing.
