Hunting Season (A Cook Family Homestead Blog)

9/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Fall. My favorite time of year. I love the cool weather, the changing colors of the trees, harvest time, hoodies....but most of all I love hunting season. And specifically Archery Season.

Getting out to my stand in the early morning hours and watching the sun come up and the woods come alive is priceless. The peace that comes over you while you witness God's glorious creation is amazing. Seeing all the different animals and to experience the thrill of the hunt is awesome. I have grown to love it.

Hunting is my main hobby in life. I mainly hunt whitetail deer, but will be archery hunting turkey this year as well. I start preparing in March and April and it is something that I absolutely love. This year I am even more excited.

For the past few years, I have been filming my hunts. I have some decent video and have been getting much better at it each year. This year I have better cameras and I am very excited to see what I get on video. The Lord has blessed me with land that is full of wild game. Our Homestead has so many natural resources for the deer (and other animals). It is a beautiful piece of property. I am so thankful for it.

Below is a video review of a product I am using this year to film my hunt. Check it out if you are interested in filming your hunts.

Thanks for checking in and God bless!  -Steve

Our Cameras and Editing Software (A Cook Family Homestead Vlog)

9/15/2018

0 Comments

 

We get a common question on our YouTube channel and other social media pages regarding what cameras we use and how do we edit our videos. I decided to put together a video with a brief description of our equipment. 

When I first got into making videos, I was mainly doing gun/gear reviews. In fact if you look at my early videos, the YouTube Channel was called "Cooksters Channel". It was just something I did for fun. As our family grew and as we set out to live a more self sufficient lifestyle in the country, I eventually included my family and we made the channel more in line of our way of life. 

I do most of the filming and all of the video editing. My wife does picture editing which sometimes I will use in videos. Our channel has grown into a fun adventure and we have had a ton of joy making videos! 

The video below is a brief overview of our cameras and the editing software I use. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for checking in and God bless!   -Steve
