    Like I said I haven't done any filming. But I have set up a couple stand sites for it a some friends set ups. We've always set the camera man stand on the exact opposite side of the tree from the hunter. With the platform of the cam stand about the same level as the seat of the hunt stand. That way a deer comin on the kill side of tha tree won't get much of the cam man due to the tree.

    Not a problem. Again like I said I've never actually filmed but tha way seems to work for a few friends of mine.

    Going out tonight. How's everyone doing? I've seen deer all sits but one. Can't wait for some neighboring bucks to start strolling through. Property adjacent houses some nice bucks
