    The past few years my interest for creating a outdoor based web show has increased. I was wondering if anyone has some advice for me in making this a reality please help me. I have an great passion for this sport and would really enjoy sharing this with others. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

    I'd say you better put together some exceptional material. When your following others lead its real hard to stand out.

    The key is that if you love it, you'll just do it. Start now.

    Start filming. Start editing. Start sharing.

    You'll learn as you go and slowly start to build a following along the way. So many people think, "Next year I want to start a show". Well, you simply don't go from never filming to full on production overnight. (unless you have the $$ to pay for TV and Staff)

    I believe that a good show needs people that are as dedicated to filming and learning the craft of story telling ,as they are to hunting. Heck, I spend more on filming gear now than I do hunting gear.

    Figure out what your story is. Learn how to effectively communicate that story, and start telling it!

    Fitz pretty much nailed it. Telling a good story people want to see is key. But the most important thing regardless of anything, make sure you are having fun. Because if not then what is the point.

    For starters to get your feet wet start a YouTube channel and promote it. That will get you followers. Secondly ask though followers for constructive feedback if you can.

    Let me know what your YouTube channel is and I will certainly subscribe. I hope it works out for you brother.

    Record as much as you possibly can and upload as often as you can.

    A lot of the "Vloggers" I watch recommend these two things the most.
