Greetings All!
Since Mr. Bane's website works better than most (other websites)I thought an attempt to upload my only video of a nice 8 point buck harvest in the miscelllaneous user video category might be worth the effort.
While not exactly the same as shooting cardboard targets or steel plates there is nothing offensive in the clip. Unlike the harvest videos you see on hunting shows, this deer behaves in a completely unexpected manner (it does not drop in it's tracks)
Even though it was a perfect heart/lung hit the deer ran off camera and then back into frame and into the treeline where it
fell within twenty yards of where it was orginally shot.
When we initially reviewed the tape we thought it was a complete miss because of a puff of dirt at the deer's feet. Turns out the puff of dirt was the bullet impact some 8/10 feet on the OTHER side of the deer after it had passed completely through.
So the instructional nature of the shot might make it worthwhile for a larger audience to view, but I do not want to offend anyone's sensiblilities since this is the "shooting" side of the 2nd Amendment universe and not the "hunting" side of the 2nd Amendment universe.
I await the judgement of the posting audience and the call of the moderators. By the way, this in no way guarantees I will actually be ABLE to upload said video, I merely promise to try.
Best regards,

About 100 yards at an angle from a treestand.
.308 168 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertip from a Ruger M77 Bolt Action Rifle fitted with (yes,) a bull barrel.
This is farm hunting, not forest and field hunting so we do things a little differently.
I will admit I have started to leave the camera in the truck because it is something of a nuisance.
My hat goes off to all those guys who trek through the woods with a guy behind them in ghillie suit to produce a TEEVEE show.
It must be a wild and wacky experience to pull all that together.

So up load it already! ;D (and when's the barbeque? ;))

Drat, just as I suspected it will take three dozen steps to make this work. I will try again tomorrow. Probably should not even have brought it up.

Noooooooooo! Brightcove wants me to download Flashplayer 9!!!! WhhhhhhYYYYYYY?
Why would I fan the flames of internecine immolation that already burn between Adobe and Netscape and Firefox et.al?
DRTV works without it.
YouTube works without it.
Liveleak works without it.
LocalNewswwwdot Timbuktu works without it.
Why do I need Flashplayer 9???
Aiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhh!
Bangs head on desk while slamming fingers with pencil drawer!!!!

and...... So is it up yet?

Not looking good. It is a "read only" .vob file whatever that is.
I can click on it and it will play in Classic Media Player (the one with all the file commands in Italian or something) but I can not click on anything to get it into the upload window slot.
I may have to take it to some other computer and see if I can change the format and save it to CD or something.
Me and my big mouth. And no I have NOT downloaded Flashplayer 9.
Best regards.

That's a pretty insensitive question. Think about it.
;D

Hi,
Uploading videos should not be a problem if they are in the following formats:
3GP, .AVI, .DV, h.264, MPEG2, MPEG4, Quicktime, WMV
When Brightcove asks you to download Flashplayer 9, it is simply because it is the latest version that works for uploads.
To play videos, you need flash player 8 or higher. Version 8 is sufficient when it comes to DRTV, YouTube, etc.
Flash Player 9 is simply an upgrade from #8 and when you are asked to download #9, your current flash player will be automatically upgraded from the Adobe web site.

Honest, it is not worth it to further foul up my thoroughly fouled up computer's internicene immolation for one minute's worth
of clearly amateur video.
Think this might work? Or something like it?

Gee, let's see if a slide show works:

I see the first slide but not any others (even if I click on it).

Check out the time stamp.
Between 5:28.53 and 5:28.59 this deer had run across the field, doubled back and then ran into
the tree line where he most surely completely hemorrhaged within 10-15 seconds after he lay down.
I have seen deer run and fall or (as they always seem to do on TEEVEE) drop in their tracks but I have never seen one do a quarter mile record time when he had been as well and truly shot as this one.
The entry hole was on his left flank just above the "elbow" and the exit was golf ball sized at a downhill angle just above his heart.
The wise ones who saw this video said he ran as hard as he did because I completely missed and shot under him, I disagreed
and said the shot "felt right" and he could not have gone very far into the woods after his world record run.
When we found him he was just inside the treeline not more than a few dozen yards from where he was shot.
So the moral of this story : this is what happens when you "arrow shoot" a deer with a rifle.

Yeah, Marshall Holloway has already sent me email and an address.
In the attempt to upload it to that address I learned how to save jpeg freeze frames, but the video itself remains elusive.
It uploaded and uploaded and uploaded and then Norton started a virus check on it.
After thirty minutes at 99 percent the whole shebang choked and stopped and said the file was too big.
The only way I can think to bring closure to this is to send a physical DVD to your snail mail address.
If you want to fool with it feel free. Somehow you need to "remove the shell" or change the extension or something.
The actual file is 4 meg, but it is tied into the entire disk which is 36 meg +/-
So if I send snail mail should I send it attention Marshal or Marshal'ette?
It is not a particularly good video, the only reason I thought it instructive was because this deer ran the Kentucky Derby in little over 10 seconds.
Those little almost cartoon-like puffs of dirt in the freeze frames are indicative of the speed at which he was moving.
