  Behind the Camera: What It Really Takes to Film Your Own Hunts and SOCIAL MEDIA HATE!

  Jul 27, 202651 minS4

  In this episode of the Minnesota Rackstars Hunting Podcast, we take you behind the scenes of what it really takes to film your own hunts. Capturing a successful hunt on camera is about much more than just hitting record — it takes extra preparation, patience, learning new equipment, managing mistakes, and sometimes missing opportunities because you’re focused on telling the story. We talk about the challenges of being the hunter, cameraman, editor, and content creator all at the same time. From camera angles and self-filming strategies to breaking down the reality of sharing your hunting experiences with the world. But putting your hunts online comes with another challenge: dealing with social media. We discuss the positive side of building a hunting community, connecting with other outdoorsmen and women, and sharing memories — but also the negativity, criticism, and keyboard warriors that come with putting yourself out there. Whether you’re thinking about starting your own hunting channel, already creating content, or just curious what happens behind the scenes, this episode gives an honest look at the highs, lows, and lessons learned from filming hunts in today’s social media world. The cameras may capture the hunt… but they don’t always capture the whole story. Subscribe, Follow, and hit play—your best season yet starts here!

From the pressure of social media algorithms to dealing with criticism, negativity, and unrealistic expectations, we share the challenges that most people never see behind the scenes.

  The Mock Scrape Myth? Why Natural Vines Beat Expensive Hunting Gimmicks | Double DropVine & Trail Camera Proof

  Jun 22, 202633 minS4

  In this episode of the Minnesota Rackstars Hunting Podcast, we dive into one of the most overlooked keys to successful deer hunting—mock scrapes. But instead of spending money on artificial scrape products, plastic licking branches, and gimmicks marketed to hunters every year, we're talking about what has consistently worked based on years of real-world trail camera intel: natural vines. I share why I created Double DropVine and how using a real, natural vine can help create more realistic mock scrapes that deer are naturally attracted to. After reviewing countless trail camera photos and videos, I've noticed a consistent pattern—bucks and does readily interact with natural vines, often choosing them over man-made alternatives. We discuss why natural materials may be more effective, how they can save hunters money compared to constantly buying new scrape products, and why keeping things simple often produces the best results in the woods. If you've ever wondered whether all the "latest and greatest" scrape gadgets are worth the investment, this episode may challenge what you think you know about scrape hunting. Whether you're managing a hunting property, creating mock scrapes for inventory purposes, or trying to tag a mature buck this fall, this conversation is packed with practical observations and trail camera evidence that could help improve your strategy. Tune in as we separate hunting marketing from hunting reality and discuss why sometimes the most effective tools are the ones nature already provides.
