North Star Productions

"Northstar Productions is a joint effort by John McClendon and Mike Whelan to produce the best hunting videos possible. Filmed almost entirely on public lands with the part not filmed on public lands, filmed in Mexico on some great ranches and Texas for turkey. Our first camera set ups weighed, in their backpacks, 65 plus pounds. By the time we stopped the set ups might have weighed 10 pounds. We hope you enjoy it; we did."
