Getting ready to book a hunt 10-14 day hunt in Alaska for 2017. i have it narrowed down to 3 outfitters. an option one of them gave me which i hadn't thought about was hiring a videographer to film the entire trip. cost for videographer is $4K. this will be a back country backpack hunt in the Yukon or NWT Mackenzie Range where i will hunting two species. at first i was like hell no. but the more i think about it the more i want to do it. it would be great have this trip documented in a legit HD video. what say the OB?

I would do it if I was hunting big 5 in Africa or something like that. If you have the money though, why not?

this will be the first of 4 trips for a sheep grand slam (praying it's only 4 trips). so if i do it for this one im going to do it for the other 3.

Sheep grand slam. Wow. That's awesome and a dream for me. I hope to hunt sheep one day but I will have to draw the tags. Applied for 5 years so probably 20 more to go.
What is your budget like for this endeavor? All 4 with travel and taxidermy is way over 100k right?

I would for sure. I've actually thought about having a photographer buddy of mine follow me around during a yak trip one day. But that won't cost me 4 grand.

Make sure everybody has a good camera and just take a bunch of pics, when you get home put them all together and use the best ones to make a picture book on shutterfly, I think it tells the story better and is so much more convenient to show people, I made one for my hunt and it turned out great, I could send you a link if you want to look at it

i wish that was the case. for all three outfitters it is 1 guide x 1 hunter. the videographer would be there for one thing. to document the trip.
ETA: your gallery is awesome! tells a phenomenal story

i try to think about that as little as possible. but yes, my estimate is a goodbit more than that. just the hunts themselves
dall- 22 to 25
stone- 35-45
bighorn- 35-45
desert- 55
that doesn't include
travel (2K)
tips (5-10% hunt cost)
Shipping and Taxidermy (1-2K ea)
no wife or kids for me in the near future

Thanks, still waiting on the antlers and cape to make it back home, will take some more pics un crating and then to the taxidermist and a final picture of Bullwinkle on the wall and will add them to the book,
also a picture of the Boone and Crockett certificate will be in the final book

I probably wouldnt, you could buy a gopro and dslr. Ton of batteries and memory cards and take pictures/videos yourself. Especially if going with friends/family. Share the load and video each other.
If you are going by yourself, well I guess you could, but Id question why you want that experience by yourself.
