First time using a video camera while hunting

I spend so many hours hunting that I thought it would be fun to record some of the stuff I get to see while hunting instead of just taking pictures. I researched cameras and found one that was rated very high for low light and it was not expensive with the holiday sale going on. I didn't need a super high end camera, these videos are just for me to record some memories. It is high def and it is very good in low light. The 9 point in the video was taken from 5:15- 5:30 on Saturday of the MZ season in some thick woods with low light, but he turned out well. I have around 15 min of video of him. I ended up shooting a bunch of video the first two days of the MZ. This is a short compilation of some of them.

Be kind if you can!!!

It is not great, I am struggling with how to edit and put them together, The camera and editing software has a lot more capability than I do, but I'm trying.

I purchased that camera after reading reviews, especially the reviews for low light

A HD cam with the function it provides on sale for $350, normally $600. I had to try it. I am very pleased!

That was some very good footage. The ending surprised me. I thought we were just watching footage. Wasn't expecting any kill shots. Good stuff and looks like a good deal on the camera as well!

Camera puts out a good quality...great footage of the deer and the turks in your area...very surprised to hear the shot at the end...did you get the recovery on film too?

No I didn't film the recovery. I watched him go down at 40 yds.

Just layed my gun across his body and took a cell phone pic and texted it to my son. Didn't type anything, just the pic. He knew what was going on right away. It was a fun way to tell him.
