Four Lifelong Friends Share the Hunting Lifestyle on ‘Red Rising’ on Sportsman Channel

OSG Logo New

DENVER (July 20, 2021) – Four lifelong friends that share an unbreakable bond bound by their outdoor and hunting lifestyle are featured in the series, Red Rising, airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel. Follow Jason Bowers, Eric Hale, Chris Ward and Matt Bullins as they travel across grassroots America in search of life’s experiences, while hunting whitetail and documenting their journey.

Jason Bowers was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia. At an early age, he discovered a passion for hunting and the outdoor way of life and has been filming outdoor television for more than 10 years. Jason’s love of adventure in the outdoors fuels his passion to share the journey of the real stories of hunting, whether good or bad. Among being an avid outdoorsman, Jason is also a realtor, insurance agent, auctioneer and volunteer firefighter.

Eric Hale literally lived outdoors. His family spent a lot of time chasing whitetails and wild turkeys, as well as catching big rainbow trout in mountain streams and smallmouth bass. Eric and his friend Chris Ward began filming professionally in the outdoor industry in 2003. Eric continues to work as a State Parole Officer and has been a volunteer firefighter for the City of Galax, the town he lives, for 17 years.

Some of Chris Ward’s greatest memories as a child were hunting with his dad and grandad in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He has always loved everything about the outdoors and hunting quickly became one of his greatest passions. Professionally, Chris began filming with Eric Hale and Drury Outdoors in 2003. After six years they branched out and started Legends of the Fall on the Outdoor Channel, where they remained for five years. Like the seasons, Chris and Eric felt it was time for a change and wanted to try something new, something different, which was to tell stories of their hunts and let the viewer live the hunt through them – both good and bad. Chris continues to be a Probation and Parole Officer for the state of Virginia as well as owner/auctioneer of the Dawn Auction Company.

Matt Bullins grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in northwest North Carolina, where hunting wasn't just a hobby, but more of a way of life. His father forged his passion and love for the outdoors and whitetails at an early age, and it fueled his desire to take it a step further. Matt began filming professionally as a freelance cameraman for several Drury Outdoors team members in 2005, while making several appearances on the hit TV series Bow Madness on Outdoor Channel and several Drury Outdoors DVD's. He continued this role until 2010 when he and Jason Bowers were selected as full- time cast members for Dream Season: Workin' Man on Outdoor Channel. In 2012, the entire cast branched out and founded a new hit TV series Whitetail Fix on Sportsman Channel. For seven years, Matt served as Co-Host, Owner, President & CEO of Whitetail Fix. Matt is now the newest member of Red Rising and has never felt more welcomed or at home. Currently, Matt works as a Mortgage Banker for Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group.

Red Rising airs on Sportsman Channel on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Find Sportsman Channel in your area by visiting https://www.thesportsmanchannel.com

Stream MeatEater’s First Fishing Series on Your Own Device

DENVER (July 15, 2021) – From the creative minds of MeatEater, comes their first fishing series, Das Boat, now available for streaming or download on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV). A simple fishing boat bought off Craigslist gets modified by different anglers along a journey of catching fish and telling tales over two seasons.

The MeatEater crew bought a 30-year-old Alumacraft on Craigslist and sent it on a road trip, visiting different locations and anglers. At each stop, a new duo of captains got one day to make whatever modifications they could and then that simple aluminum boat fishing.

Those trips turned into Das Boat. Follow along with Steven Rinella, Ryan Callaghan and April Vokey, along with Oliver Ngy, JT Van Zandt and Frank Smethurst. They’ll catch bass, gar, speckled trout and stripers in lakes, rivers, estuaries and oceans.

Outdoor Channel Features ‘Inside Outdoors TV’ Airing Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET

OSG Logo New

Denver (July 8, 2021) – Friendly banter (and competition) amongst friends is always encouraged on Inside Outdoors TV now airing on Outdoor Channel on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET. Hosted by friends and business partners, Tim Anello and Dave Poteat, Inside Outdoors TV travels the world chasing big and small game in a thoughtful and exciting way.

Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tim Anello grew up with a strong love for the outdoors. His parents took him and his brother camping every summer, where they learned to fish backwater streams and creeks and cook foil wrapped dinners on the campfire. “Whether at the beach or the ballfield and everywhere in between – I couldn’t get enough of the outdoors,” Anello shared. “But when it comes to hunting, I was a bit late arriving on the scene. My first hunt was my freshman year in high school and let me tell you … it was the coldest duck hunt I have ever been on … and someone forgot to tell the ducks to stop by.” Nonetheless, on that unsuccessful and frozen morning, Anello found something he could enjoy when it was too cold to do anything else outside. Thanks to a large amount of public hunting land in Oklahoma, Tim gravitated to bird hunting, particularly, quail and pheasant.

Along with co-host, Dave Poteat, Anello has been able to make a successful career out of traveling the world and hunting many different species of game. His ‘mild’ start in hunting, has grown to a very in-depth knowledge base of how to get in close and punch tags from the eastern shores of Virginia to western shores of California and from northern Saskatchewan to Old Mexico.

Dave Poteat has more than 27 years of hunting experience and has worked throughout the United States as a cameraman on several outdoor shows, as well as a professional guide. His experiences range from the Eastern shores of Maryland to the Western coast of California and from Northern Saskatchewan to Old Mexico and many places in between. He has completed the Grand Slam for Turkeys two different times and harvested more wild hogs than he can recall. Though Dave considers himself a lover of all types of hunting, most of his hunts are with a bow. Eventually, Poteat attended an outdoor production camera school in Oklahoma City. “My father taught me how to hunt, so I had that part of the business down, it was the production aspect that was up to me to learn about,” he shared.
