Coldwell Banker Itildo real estate agent Teddy Carlson-Brown will be featured as one of 12 contestants on an outdoor hunting and fishing reality show called “The Ultimate Sportsman,” which will air on the Versus channel, Charter cable 406, beginning 7 a.m. today.

Filming for the show took place over a span of 16 months in 12 different locations around the United States. Events included fishing for king salmon on Lake Michigan, pheasant hunting in South Dakota, elk hunting in New Mexico, turkey hunting in Illinois, and Sitka blacktail and sea duck hunting on Admiralty Island in Alaska.

Carlson-Brown competed against eight men and three women who came from all over the U.S. and Canada. Besides the hunting and fishing competitions, the contestants competed in 24 challenges which ranged from giving talks on various conservation organizations to showing their skills on the archery and rifle ranges, to extreme physical agility trials.

Carlson-Brown said her involvement with this show was a great experience because it pushed her out of her comfort zone. She said she was forced into situations where she had to overcome her fears and just “go for it.” With focus, determination, hard work and enthusiasm, just about anything is possible, she said.

The show will air every Thursday at 7 a.m. for 30 minutes beginning today and ending on Dec. 22.

Carlson-Brown has lived in Carson Valley since she was 4. She is married to Dr. Steven Brown and has two children, Sarah Chichester and Josh Brown. She and her family are all outdoor enthusiasts.

“I think my hometown will be proud,” she said. “I gave it my all and was pleased with the outcome, but I can't tell you exactly how I did because that would take from the suspense of the show. Hopefully, everybody will watch and see how it turns out.”
