Dvd's that actually help

I have a pretty good collection of DVD's I've picked up over the years, and all but a handful are bang flops and you don't learn much. I would say my favorite for tips that I can use are the Mark Zepp videos.

I've heard that the Tony Tebbe DVD is awesome as well but it's out of production and I can't find a copy.

Anyone have suggestions for others that are informative and not just bang flops or product pushers? If they focus on setups even better.

My problem is it all makes sense in my head until I close the truck door and only unravels from there.
 
Tony's So you want to be a predator hunter (or something like that, paraphrased) was a good one as well.
 
Haven't found one for the east coast with the hills and mountains. But would like to watch if someone has one to post. I hunt the woods and hills, pretty much have to know the area you are hunting. The wind could be blowing from the west and as soon as it hits a hill that wind is now a north or south wind. So it is a challenge for sure.
 
We don’t have “mountains” down here, but I had to make a dope for certain areas just on the properties I hunt. An East wind means South. A West wind means North. A North wind better be dead nuts North or it could be East or West. Carried my son and he checked the wind as soon as we stepped out of the truck and said that spot won’t work…I said trust me, lol. Get to our location and he’s like what the heck? Wind switch? Nope, terrain plays a HUGE factor on wind direction.

So do pine plantations. Here in SC it can be hard to hunt some tracts of land that are pine plantations b/c no matter what the wind direction is supposed to be, the trees will funnel it down the rows and firebreaks.
 
It can be hard to shoot video in the thick brush. I've shot a lot of footage while hunting the brush for bobcats and foxes and very little of it was useable.

Luckily, you have come to the right place. There are a lot of members who have tons of experience and are willing to share what they know so that you don't have to struggle for so long. You are not alone.

I'll start working on some videos on working in thick, brushy areas and see if you can get some tips.
 
As a new hunter stomach sickening frustration and shame of coming home empty handed time after time has been the toughest thing. I've watched a bunch of DVDs but varmint safari has been a huge help. Dave and Tim have an energy about them that relaxed me and made it look just fun to be out there. In fact the only coyote I got was after watching those DVDs and I had a relaxed vibe out there, totally patient, enjoying the view, no pressure, not moving a muscle and the next thing I knew a coyote suddenly showed up. Without those DVDs I probably wouldnt have gone out that day

Edit:the DVD I needed maybe wasn't technical, but rather whatever helps to get me off the couch and out there trying. And those did exactly that
 
For technical Byron south calling in the thick stuff will give u 1 simple and effective setup if you can find a trail with a bend on it. He shows 4 or 5 different stands with it making kills
