Campbell Outdoor Challenge - New Haven’s Adam Carney and Shawneetown’s Dante Gill used their talents recently in an attempt to win the Campbell Outdoor Challenge 2005 Championship Challenge.
Eleven teams from a range of states competed in the challenge, which was held Oct. 29 through Nov. 4, sponsored by Whitetail Fanatic Magazine and hosted by Campbell Illinois Whitetails in Southeastern Illinois.
The defending champions, Carney and Gill of Simmons archery team, placed fourth in the archery hunting event, while Mississippi residents Kenneth Peacock and Terry Bell of Team Razor Shark overpowered the competition and won the championship.
Alabama residents Adam Ross and Matt Fincher finished second, with the 2003 championship team John Degraw and Matt Broncatello of New Jersey taking third.
The Campbell Outdoor Challenge is a nationally broadcast television series featuring the sport of filming hunts and is open to anyone wanting to compete, regardless of age or experience level. Teams are awarded points based upon required footage and maturity of the animal filmed during the hunt.
The cameraman is awarded points based on pre-harvest footage, the harvest shot, hunt audio, recovery and required interviews. The hunting member of the team is awarded points based upon the maturity of the animal taken. The more mature the animal, the more difficult it should be to successfully film a hunt for that animal.
All outdoor challenge events are for wild, free-ranging game and all competitions are conducted under the rules and regulations of the hosting states. By either placing in various qualifying rounds or by submitting their own filmed hunts to the Campbell Outdoor Challenge, these teams can advance into championship rounds.
