The winner of the National finals will win $25,000 in cash and prizes and a spread in Field & Stream.
"Daniel Lee Martin (a recording artist with ChinMusic Records) was the big surprise in Nashville this year. Daniel Lee won the celebrity event and finished second in the regional, punching his ticket to Dogwood Canyon. The real surprise is that he's the most complete competitor I have seen at a regional this year. You don't expect that from a celebrity event. He can really cast, and his shooting skills are lights out. Daniel Lee is a huge obstacle on Paul's road to three-peat. Speaking of the celebrity event, I love me some country music, so that was about as much fun as I could have outside of deer camp. The country music artists competed hard, interacted with crowd, and even taunted each other a little." --John Davis, Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge competition manager
