Campbell Outdoor Challenge

Got a phone call and my uncle and I were invited to the Campbell Outdoor Challenge in Illinois. We were pretty excited at first and then the kicker, it cost 4,000$ per team. SO then we were a little bummed out. Unfortunately we opted to pass due to the lack of funds and we are just really getting into the filming part and felt we were to green to pay that kind of money. But in the end it was really exciting to be offered something like that.

Here is a little detail about what it is:
The Campbell Outdoor Challenge provides a competitive sporting event format for professional hunter and cameramen teams to match their skills in filming hunts.

The Campbell Outdoor Challenge consists of a professional video circuit of fifteen cameramen teams with the ultimate champion determined by the team accumulating the most video points throughout the events that form the circuit.

In addition to the Circuit events there are qualifying events for cameramen teams to gain entry into the Circuit competition. These Challenge qualifying events are open to anyone wishing to compete regardless of age or experience level. These hunting and filming competitions are being planned in various States for different wild free-ranging game species. Click here for 2009 scheduled events.

Teams, create your own Pro-Staff for the circuit and split the cost among several people and rotate circuit events. Circuit points will stay with the original team name so if a new team is created after an event has already happened, the points stay with the original team.

Manufacturers, company owners, this is your chance to build your own team, advertise your products, and have your team compete at a chance to win your entry fee back, that’s a chance at a free years worth of advertising!! Team members do not need to be the same throughout the circuit allowing you to build a competitive pro staff with specialized experts for different types of game.

We have many other advertising options available, from commercials, billboards, naming rights sponsorships and many other options through our show, now on Versus.

Man that would be awesome to participate in. But I do understand where you stand. Right now I would have also had to turn it down. Hopefully someday you two will get another shot at it.

I've looked into it as well. It looks great but the 4 grand is steep. Congrats on getting invited

Congrats!

Congrats Jimmy,A hunting buddy and myself looked into that a couple years ago.It does get exspensive,But after talking with some of the people that do it,They all go out and get sponsors to help out with the funds,But in today's economy that would probally be kinda tuff. Congrats again

congrats on the invite I have watched it on tv looks really cool.

Congrats on the invite, but it sounds like you would have needed a couple of sponsors to pay that entry fee...
