Viewers can then tune in each week on Monday Mornings at 5:30AM EST on Outdoor Channel to follow their favorite team as they compete in "The Sport of Filming Hunts"
The Campbell Outdoor Challenge features teams, each team consisting of a hunter and a cameraman, matching their skills in videoing hunts for various wild free ranging game animals. Videoing points are based upon a copyrighted scoring system and awarded based on acquired video increments of footage, hunt audio, video stability and overall quality.
The special airing of the Campbell Outdoor Challenge between Christmas and New Years will have highlights from the past 4 years and will give new viewers a bit of history on the “Sport of Filming Hunts”. The airing will also show how the challenge works and how teams can get involved.
"Most of the viewers of wildlife hunting shows and videos have no idea how much of a challenge (hence the name of the competition) it is to successfully film a hunt for free-ranging animals in the wild," stated John Campbell, host of the Campbell Outdoor Challenge TV Show. "This competition highlights the skills of the cameramen who help bring the 'outdoors' indoors to millions of viewers."
