Basically there are 6 teams, two partners each, competing against each other to produce quality deer hunts throughout the deer season. During the season there are two hunts, one in Oct. and the other in Jan., where all the teams come to the same camp and hunt the same area. Aside from those two hunts, the teams are hunting their own turf throughout the season. The winning team, which is decided by internet vote on DruryOutdoors.com, gets something like $25,000 in cash and prizes. Its really cool to see real hunters with real jobs just like everyone else battling for the win. I think I like this show so much because it is so different from all the same old shows where guys are sitting around talking about hunts and shooting big deer at outfitted properties. The Dream Season teams face the same struggles as most hunters often do, which is why I can identify with the show so well.
