Participants will be allowed to submit a maximum of one filmed deer hunt for scoring, this filmed hunt must be a buck harvest unless law prohibits this combination, and then Teams may only submit a filmed hunt in accordance with the Country, Province or State laws for mule deer.

HUNTER SCORING:

Bucks are scored on gross Boone and Crockett scoring system plus the length of all abnormal points; this is a B&C green score rounded up to the nearest point. Points are allocated at rounded up score value (bucks scoring 167 2/8 gross score would count 168 points toward team score; bucks scoring 167 5/8 would count 168 points). CERTAIN CHALLENGE EVENTS MAY HAVE A MINIMUM (BOONE AND CROCKETT GROSS SCORE) REQUIREMENT AND/OR POINT RESTRICTION FOR BUCKS HARVESTED AS DICTATED BY DESIGNATED COUNTRY, PROVINCE, STATE, OUTFITTER, AND/OR AREA RULES AND REGULATIONS. Hunters taking a buck less than the requirements set forth for each specific Challenge minimum requirements will lose all hunter points and filming points associated with hunting and filming of that animal. These restrictions, if any, shall be posted with the information and itinerary of each specific Qualifying event.

Prior to retrieval of an animal, every team must contact a representative of the Campbell Outdoor Circuit. A representative of the Campbell Outdoor Circuit, at his or her discretion may film the recovery and/or required recovery video.
