Marti Davis on pro-staff at Mossy Oak and Moultrie Products
It’s not a passion for her either … it’s an obsession that paid off in being named to pro-staffs of two prestigious outdoor companies.
The WOMA member Marti Davis, from Willard, Mo., recently added Mossy Oak and Moultrie Products to her pro-staff list. In July 2010, Mossy Oak included Marti in its lineup of regional pro-staff hunters and in August, Moultrie Products welcomed her. Read more

Nancy Jo Adams journals daily about her experiences in the Campbell Outdoor Challenge, that provides a competitive sporting event format for professional hunter and cameramen teams to match their skills in filming hunts. The Campbell Outdoor Challenge consists of a professional video circuit of fifteen cameramen teams with the ultimate champion determined by the team accumulating the most video points throughout the events that form the circuit. Nancy Jo and WOMA member Marti Davis make Team Artemis. You can read her blog here.

Team Artemis readies for upcoming Campbell Outdoor Challenge in Illinois
Team Artemis, the all woman team comprised of Nancy Jo Adams and Marti Davis, are excited about the opportunity to try their skills in the Whitetail qualifying challenge at Campbell’s Illinois Whitetails in Carmi, Illinois, on October 24 through 30. The team is proudly sponsored by Bass Pro Shops/RedHead, Women’s Outdoor News, Up North Journal and several various gear sponsors. This is an exciting opportunity that will give them experience of filming hunts for broadcast quality footage.
The Campbell Outdoor Challenge gives teams comprised of a hunter and a camera person the opportunity to compete against other teams proving their ability to capture the hunt and harvest on camera effectively. Campbell Cameras specializes in equipping outdoor enthusiasts with the proper video and audio equipment to capture the thrill of the hunt and offers video cameras and accessories, audio equipment, camera mount systems, video lights and editing software to make the perfect combination to fit any camera person’s needs.
For Nancy Jo, this opportunity could not have presented itself at a better time. Nancy Jo was recently announced as the First Lady of Up North Journal. As field staff, Nancy Jo will be filming her hunts for the 2009-2010 season for UNJ’s Beyond the Wild and was researching cameras and equipment for that need. Up North Journal offers weekly podcasts and you will be able to listen to updates while Team Artemis is attending this challenge. You can find Nancy Jo’s blog link on the site and can read about the Team Artemis Campbell Outdoor Challenge experience as it unfolds.
Nancy Jo expressed that she likes the idea that Campbell Cameras can be a one-stop-shop to purchase everything that is necessary to film hunts in the field. She stated, “The Outdoor Filming Packages are perfect for someone like me who is new to the sport of filming hunts. I don’t have to worry about getting a camera and equipment that is virtually of no use to me as I would if buying at a big electronic store retailer. I can rest assured that Campbell Cameras is outfitting me with all the necessary items that I need for my intended purpose. ”
Marti Davis, RedHead Pro Field Staff member, is a very integral part of Team Artemis — bringing her experience of filming hunts in the past and her successful harvest record to the team. Marti stated, “Filming a hunt is something I have tried before with low-end equipment and low-end results. I look forward to filming Nancy Jo with Campbell Cameras’ broadcast quality equipment and getting some high-quality results.”

Adams and Davis to pair up for Campbell Outdoor Challenge
I was approached about the idea of attending the hunt in the Campbell Outdoor Challenge, which airs on VERSUS TV, for a qualifying archery whitetail hunt at Campbell’s Illinois Whitetails in Camri, Ill., on October 24-30, 2009. WOMA member Marti Davis, team camera woman, and I will comprise the two-woman team — one hunter and one camera person — for this week-long hunt. This will be the first all-woman team that has been on the show. Marti will be using the Sony HDR-FX7 camera for filming this hunt.
Although Marti and I have never personally met, I think we will make the perfect team combination. I have followed along on her turkey hunts for the past two seasons through her stories. You can read about Marti and some of her writings at http://www.womenhunters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=86:marti-davis-bio&catid=25:ladies&Itemid=113.
We are still working on a team name and sponsors but I purchased my archery whitetail combo tag and license online last weekend. I am looking forward to the challenge and to spending time getting to know Marti on this venture. I hope that my friends from Facebook, Talkhunting, Woman Hunter, Women Hunters, Up North Journal, Bowcast and personal friends and hunting buddies will follow along on this blog. There is a lot to be done prior to our departure on October 23, but I am excited about the opportunity. I hope you check back periodically for the updates as I plan to bring an account of the entire experience to the readers of this blog. As I always say — even the good, the bad, the ugly and the comical.

Is your car’s a/c giving you problems? Fix it yourself!

During the recent warm weather the air conditioning in my car just wasn’t working right. Took it to the mechanic and he wanted an outrageous amount to fix it. Well, I didn’t want to have to dip into my hunting money, so I just fixed it myself.!
Oh yeah, Marti be stylin' when she drives this car down the streets of Springfield, Mo.
A little redneck ingenuity and it’s almost cool enough to hang a deer or turkey in there! If anyone else out there is having problems with their a/c, just give me a holler and I’ll do what I can to help you out.

P.S. Is it almost hunting season yet?
