Summary

This week marks the launch of a brand new series on the podcast: Film The Fall, where we sit down with some of the best producers in the game to talk all things filming whitetail hunts. In this series, we dive into the gear they trust, the strategies behind capturing a hunt the right way, and what it really takes to turn a moment in the woods into a powerful story on screen. From close calls to once-in-a-lifetime encounters, we break down real hunts through the eyes of the guys behind the camera. To kick things off, we’re joined by Cody Cooper, a seasoned producer who’s worked with Lee & Tiffany on The Crush TV, Lee Ellis, and the Seek One crew. Cody walks us through his journey in the industry, how he got to where he is today, and what he’s learned along the way. We also take a deep dive into one of the most talked-about hunts in recent memory, Lee Ellis’ spot-and-stalk Kansas buck in the rain. Cody was behind the camera for that hunt, and in this episode, you’ll hear the full story from his perspective , the challenges, the decisions, and what it took to capture it all in the moment. If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into filming a whitetail hunt, this is one you won’t want to miss. Enjoy. . .
