Introduction
As the hunting season draws to a close, days are shorter and we all tend
to spend more time in our warm house and the
snow covers the shooting range I like to spend
some good time watching some hunting videos.
Last year we reviewed the Bears in the Backwoods
from Team Backwoods, this year it is time for
chapter two.
If you are a bear fanatic this is one video that shouldn't miss from your
collection: there are 14 action packed hunts
chasing black bears.
The video was filmed in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan . Every
hunt is introduced with some details on the
location, hunting technique and equipment used.
Not all hunts are conducted with crossbows but If you are a crossbow fan
you can satisfy your appetite.
As Team Backwoods has strong connections with Excalibur the crossbow
featured are from this fine Canadian
manufacturer.
This time we decided to push the video to heavy test so we set up a Sony
Playstation 3 as a DVD player hooked to a
Samsung 50" display via HDMI cable. The PS3 was
set to upscale the video from DVD resolution
(576p) all the way to 1920x1080p.
The DVD is not region coded meaning that it can be safely purchased by
hunters worldwide being safe that it will play
into their DVD players.
The video quality is indeed very good , as you can see from the screen
shots, though not FullHD , the image is clear
with no noticeable compression artifacts (noise,
pixelation etc) meaning that it was filmed with
good equipment and that a good job was done in
postprocessing.
I am sorry I cannot tell you more without spoiling the DVD content but
you can get onto:

to get a free preview of the video
content.
The DVD can be purchased online for US$9.95+S&H ,that , indeed is a very
attractive price.
