Some of you may have seen the ads the network is running for this episode. It is airing this week, starting tonight at 6pm and 9pm (Mountain Times).
Big thanks to Crittergetter and Lawnboy for their help on this one. It is a cool episode, for sure. Hopefully gives some insight about bison hunting and how it is that bison have become such a political football in the west.
One thing you will notice when you watch this episode is how TV impacts some of what you see, or in this case, some what you don't see, as in Lawnboy. Lawnboy joined us for the entire hunt, but he was on call for his snowplowing business. Since we thought the hunt might take three or four days and Lawnboy could have been called away at anytime, the production decision is always based on whether or not the person can stay for the entire period. Episodes get very disjointed if you have characters joining us midway through or leaving part way into it. So, even though you don't see Lawnboy in front of the camera, he was there behind the camera, acting as a great decoy when the Buffalo Field Campaign folks were trying to film our actions.
There have been other episodes where people have helped us for a day or two and they never made the episode. Just how it goes when producing TV, but wanted to make sure everyone knew what a great help Bart was on this hunt.
Brad did the best job possible trying to keep up with us while we were running through the deep snow and thick trees in pursuit of the herd. His job is way harder than ours. The audio was impacted by the tree limbs tearing a few audio cables and the early morning cold slowing down one of the audio receivers. You will see more subtitles in this episode than I would like, but such are the conditions we film under and how those conditions and frantic chases can impact the equipment we use.
