OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS (video collage)

[ImAfossil]

Back around the end of April I got to thinking, can I make field videos of groundhog hunting. I had the makings of a mix of equipment. My .204 Ruger and the weak link, a Samsung 5X zoom digital camera. The first 4 1/2 minutes of this video demonstrates the 5X just did not have the horse power, for distances approaching 300 yards. The .204 can do the job, if the shooter is focused. You will see some real ugly misses.
This video is a collage of various field clips that I shot.
You will see a decided difference, about 1/2 way through when I started to use, a Panasonic 35X that my son gave to me. It is an older version, but for me it is perfect.

This was a huge accomplishment for me. Shooting the video, posting it on youtube and then get it onto the PAFOA forums. I guess you can say, I was home schooled for this project. At my age, electronics, gizmos that have endless instructions are not my cup of tea. What you are about to see is far from perfect, but you will see a progression in video quality, that gets me from the bottom, to at least being a NOVICE. Yes, not the best, but an accomplishment.

Will I get better ???? Not sure about that, but I will try. Also, go to full screen at youtube for a better looksee !

Why does this make me think of Monty Python and the "how not to be seen " sketch?

The only M. P. movie I saw was the 'Holy Grail'----It had the killer attack rabbit---There must be a 'killer attack groundhog' and I am saddled with a single shot. Should I miss, maybe the noise will scare him off.
