Film the Fall | “Giving Up the Bow: One Hunter’s Year Behind the Lens”

from The Fall Podcast · host Arron Bleise

This week’s episode features Joe Davis, a newcomer to the world of filming and producing hunts who is already all-in on learning the craft the right way. Last fall, Joe made a decision most hunters would struggle with he put down his bow and gun for the entire season and dedicated himself fully to filming his buddies in the field. We dive into what it really takes to step away from your own trigger time and focus on capturing moments for others, and how difficult that sacrifice actually was once the season got rolling. Joe opens up about the mental grind, the discipline it took to stay committed, and what he learned about hunting, storytelling, and himself through the process. One year later, we break down the progress he’s made, the skills he’s developed behind the camera, and how that decision has shaped his path moving forward in the hunting and content world. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to transition from hunter to storyteller or how much growth can happen in a single season this one’s for you. . . .
