Sweepstakes winner Tony Elliot will head out to Colorado's high country in the fall of 2007, outfitted in his LaCrosse and Realtree best, and embark on a journey of beef jerky, jokes and some serious hunting. Michael will pick up Tony at the airport and they will head out with the Realtree Road Trips TV crew in tow to capture every moment.

The Ridin' Shotgun sweepstakes debuts the new Broadside GTX and Hawk GTX Realtree Signature Series leather hunting boots that LaCrosse and Realtree co-developed. The Broadside GTX is the only boot created in conjunction with the Realtree Road Trips TV show, with the specific purpose of being host Michael Waddell's go-to boot.
