Go Pro Hunting tips??

Ok so for a guy that is tech savvy enough to turn a camera on...
For those that use Go Pro's to film hunts what is the most effective way to do it? Put the camera on a band on your head? Strap it to the gun?
Thinking about playing with it during dove and teal season but have no idea the best approach. Since most of you are much younger than I am I am banking on the idea that some of you have been down this road and have some suggestions that would be helpful and shorten the learning curve.
TIA!

I use mine turkey and duck hunting. I think the best shots are on a mount I made that sticks in the ground. I can set the camera up in my decoys and use my phone or the remote to turn it on. I have used it on my head and gun some but you're always moving so much that its hard to watch sometimes.

Are you waterfowl hunting? If so, a 2 go-pro set up is pretty cool. One mounting at the edge of the blind looking down the length to get all of you popping out, and another on your head. It'll give the viewer the perspective of everything that you've seen, but it will be jumpy since we aren't as conscience of how much we truly move our heads when we interact. Go-pro footage from the gun mounted position is very shaky every time you shoot, obviously. It's cool in a PIP shot, but wouldn't want it to be my main footage.
When deer hunting, I have a clamp mount that I fix to the top rail of my climber. It has a ball head on it so it can get a 360 shot. The Go-pro footage Ive gotten has honestly been fairly disappointing. It's great as intended, moving actions shots, but it is sub par from a fixed position. A mini handheld 1080p HD is far superior and more watchable footage.

Go Pro really only works well for up close shots. Shooting a deer/duck at 20-30 yards will look like it's at 100 yards

Yep, looks like you're shooting mosquitos.

This. I made a hunting video a few years back on go pro and all the shots look far as hell. You can watch it here if you want to get an idea. LINK

If you make sure to video in medium format versus the wide angle it makes the footage much better and doesn't make the birds look to far away.
