What it looks like to lose $25,000

This is last years Field & Stream TOC champion. This years competion was last week and it came down to the last of the 7 events again to decide the victor. Unfortunately Chad had some problems with the Kayak the last 20seconds of the Endurance Course and couldn't seal the deal for the 2nd year in a row.

You can see the determination in his eyes, and can hear his heart breaking. I don't think I would have slept a wink that night....scratch that, after a bottle of Jack, I would have been able to pass out that night. He'll be back next year and will be in the top 3 again.

Dang that's crazy. Who won this year? Did Chris Reed compete?

Always wondered how I would do in a competition like the TOC lol.

Tom Boatwright won this year. Reed did compete, but was way back in the field. He finished 2nd the prior 2 years.

Tom was the winner in 2009, and won the Buckmaster's Indoor World Championship last year just prior to the TOC event. For Tom's size, he is a scrapper and a huge competitor. Redcloud, be ready in April and you can jump in the truck to head to the Rossford Bass Pro to qualify with us.
