It is part of a four-day hunt and takes place at Southern Sportsman Hunting Lodge.
Many nearby residents come to watch the athletes and entertainers compete.
There is knife throwing, hatchet throwing, bow-arrow golf, ATV riding and canoe racing against the clock, handgun shooting and bow shooting at stationary targets. New York Mets pitcher Turk Wendell won the hatchet-throwing contest. My only competition that day was shooting a .44 Magnum revolver at four different targets at distances of 10-25 yards. I finished second behind writer Mike Bolton of Alabama.
