The Campbell Outdoor Challenge is a nationally broadcasted 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 videoing 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.
