PBS is proud to partner with Tradgang on this contest, and we look forward to seeing what the talented folks on here can do.   As Terry said above, please make sure all videos are tasteful and represent the ideals of both The Professional Bowhunter Society and Tradgang.   For more information on PBS, go to professionalbowhunters.org.

Can't wait to see all the videos

[matt schuster]

I have zero talent for this sort of thing, and when I see a good video - one like Clay Hayes produces (a high bar for sure) that displays the emotion and touches on what drives us do all this, I am humbled.   I do look forward to see what folks can come up with.   And I will pass on the kudos - the original idea came from my good friend Don Davis, from Melbourne, Fl.

[Gene Wensel]

I'm a little confused. When you say "Make a video" do you mean with music and a story line or theme such as people like Clay Hayes has been doing? Not just good footage, right? Does footage have to be taken within these proposed dates?

[Possum Head]

The best videos I've seen had no music. You would almost think it was filmed in the woods where you could hear a pin drop.

[matt schuster]

Gene, I will let Terry clarify for sure, but I think it is just an open contest.   Might have music, might just be rednecks making incredible shots on running deer on river bottoms.  I am sure Terry can clarify the dates for footage etc.  It will tough to enforce specific dates, but it would be nice if footage is not stuff that is already all over the youtube.  My two cents.  I won't participate, I only take decent photos by accident.

[Terry Green]

The video has to be filmed between the dates. I guess I didn't specify that clear enough.... sorry about that.  It's for this fall and winter hunting season.

I guess you could decide whether you wanted to have music or not or just footage or not but again it needs to be film between October 3rd and Feb 15th....and must be posted as a complete video by Feb 28th.

I hope that makes sense...if not please let me know.

This is a fun idea.  Glad that you clarified Terry, I was just about to post a cool trad video some PBSers made on a membership hog hunt earlier this year.  The PBS is doing that hunt again early next year, so hopefully we'll make an even better video for this contest.

I hope I get some editing time.  I just filmed my sons first Alaska caribou hunt.  It was a great experience watching him stalk and take a bou.
