15 Circuit teams have arrived back in Tell City Indiana for this years video turkey challenge. Fri, Sat. Sun, HSO had a motion Target qualifying event, where Mill Creek Outdoors offered $1000 in prize money . Several participants showed up to test their skills at this event leading up to the kick off banquet for the 2nd leg of the 2009 Campbell Cameras Pro Video Circuit. Special thanks to Tony Thomas, Robert Skinner and all the landowners who have worked hard to provide teams with such great areas to film turkey hunts on this year! Also thanks to Jay Johnson from the local NWTF chapter for being our official turkey scorer again this year. Teams lottery drew for what area they would be hunting on and had a chance to meet the landowners. The action starts in the morning, we will have updates as they come in.
