A New Total Outdoorsman Event?
By Kirk Deeter
Ever the good Field & Stream soldier, I spent a little free time recruiting prospects for the Total Outdoorsman Challenge. I'm pretty sure these guys have the baitcasting part down pat. (By the way, that's Gary Klein, Dean Rojas, and Kevin Van Dam of the B.A.S.S. Elite Series). And based on what I saw, they're all pretty rock solid with the shotguns too. I know KVD is an archery fanatic. I know Klein is killer with a fly rod. And Rojas lives in Arizona... gotta be a contender with the ATVs.
So how can we spice it up a little? Maybe we need a new tiebreaker-type event that combines elements of a couple different sports at the same time... say, trap shooting with spinnerbaits. Yes, this photo is a shot of KVD chucking a baitcaster on the trap range. Didn't break the bird, but came darn close. Scary close.
What's next? Saddle bronc-fly casting?

How about apple picking with flies?
You cast to a tree, try to snag the biggest apple, and whoever snags the bigger apple wins!
Hmm... how to combine fishing and shooting? How about shooting fish in a barrel?
Kocking down as many of the air rifle tagets with your choice of either flyrod or casting rod. 10 random targets that only stand for 10 seconds a piece.....
Setup a wave pool with one to two foot swells and put the air rifle targets on the floats and see who can shoot the bobbing target from a freehand position.
I like it.
Trap shooting with a spinner bait... that is almost scary to think about, especially if he came close to hitting it. Can't not even imagine that kind of accuracy. If people started a sport like that, that would deffinetly be something to see.
ha ha. thats pretty neat. it doesnt seem to have much to do with shooting but it does seem great
Bowfishing?
That guy can cast.
next time your on youtube or something type in mastercasters and see there video of clay pigeon shooting with baitcasters it's pretty crazy how they do it.
If there is any truth to the word TOTAL then I would like to see the guys negotiate with the wife why you need to miss church on Sunday to go hunting.
Okay, I just wanted to lodge my biggest complaint about this event...How the hell does riding around on an OHV have anything to do with being a sportsman? Other than maybe seeing how many elk you can chase off while another hunter is putting a stalk on. The event would be much better served by having an orienteering component or even better, a survival situation. I would wager that most of the guys that compete in this event cannot even pack a horse or tie a hitch knot. Which is just plain sad.
