In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, we break down lessons from the 2025/26 hunting season and analyze self-filmed whitetail hunts to help you become a better hunter and filmmaker.
Cody dives into what he’s changing for the 2026/27 whitetail season, from self-filming adjustments to better in-season decision making on public land. Danny shares what he wants to improve this upcoming NFL season when it comes to filming, editing, storytelling, and creating more engaging sports content.
Then we shift gears and start CRITIQUING hunt films from other creators — not to tear anyone down, but to grow as filmmakers and hunters.
We break down:
• Self-filming whitetail hunts
• Camera placement in the tree
• Shot selection and angles
• Hunting video storytelling
• Editing pace and structure
• What makes a hunt film engaging
