I will take either of you up on that. I will gladly spend a week with you filming - I'm sure you won't actually let me, but on the off chance you were being serious, send me a message. I would also gladly come hunting with you a few times. Teach me, show me what it's about, let me understand it properly and then give me a guaranteed right to return and cover it with a camera.

I am trying to get an insight that people who don't hunt, do not get. I want to film through preparations and the hunt and discuss this with the hunter(s).

Unfortunately if I only made documentaries about subjects in which I was an expert in, I wouldn't be a very efficient documentary maker. What's more, if I was an expert I would not need your help. This is legit, doesn't matter how many times I say it, I'm sure it won't sway you until it's made - and I can assure you it is not an honest mistake. Your point about making simply another documentary about subject which has been covered before is defunct in the film world - idealistic at best. How many war films (for example) have you seen? There are hundreds - and there will be hundreds more allowing each director who tackles the topic to put his own style and voice into it. I don't see why so many people have just been trying to call my bluff without offering a solution? Very well if you don't believe me - good for you - but why waste time and effort telling me. I am looking for people who ARE interested in helping; not who just want to comment to be heard doubting. Go to another forum thread for that.

I'm most certainly not looking to make a mockery of you or of hunting. I appreciate you being cautious - I would be too if I felt a threat to something I love. If you guys are serious about sitting and talking to me about it or taking me hunting and letting me film please send me private messages. We can do it on terms which you are ofcourse comfortable with. I'm based in Manhattan - willing to travel across the state to work on it.

This is indeed legit, and not a 'scam' nor 'Hogwash' . Although I do appreciate being called 'scum' on occasion, I don't see why you'd have reason to say that to me? I am making a documentary and would very much like the aide of people who know what they are doing and are proud of their sport. If that's not you - no need to get involved. Thanks again, Andreas

Hi All, I am a New York based film maker and I am making a documentary on Hunting in NY over November. Would anyone be interested in being featured, taking me out for the hunt, showing me the ropes and letting me film the process? I think it would make a great topic to be filmed and hope that some of you are willing to help me document it. Best, Andreas Hadjipateras
