New Season of ‘Dropped’ Airs Mondays at 7:30 p.m. on Outdoor Channel

OSG Logo New

DENVER (February 5, 2019) – Chris and Casey Keefer battle the elements in Saskatchewan in a new season of Dropped, airing Mondays at 7:30 p.m., on Outdoor Channel.

Dropped: Land of the Living Skies is the latest installment of the adventure show. It takes the Keefer brothers to some of the toughest terrain in the world – the backcountry of Saskatchewan. They are flown to their desired location with no map, shelter or supplies and must race against the clock to find caches of modern gear to help them on their path back to civilization. Survival is dependent on their ability to work together. All the while, there is a constant feeling that at any moment, something could go wrong. Dropped entertains and excites, while conveying the ominous feeling that is inherent when alone in the backcountry.

The Keefer Brothers share a passion for family, adventure and the outdoors. Both Chris and Casey are addicted to the adrenaline that comes with being dropped into the most remote areas of some of the world’s most wild locations. One’s weakness is complemented by the other’s strength and what emerges is a wildly entertaining balance of adrenaline-soaked adventure, a feeling of family and true brotherhood. The brothers buy into the mentality that one should push the limit of what one thinks can be done, to truly live, rather than just survive. The brothers feel a responsibility to pass along this mentality to viewers, as well as educate about basic survival skills. Follow the Keefers on their adventures in Dropped: Land of the Living Skies on Mondays at 7:30 on Outdoor Channel.

He grew up hunting with his father, who he credits with cultivating his love of the outdoors. As he grew up, Matt and his father would hunt deer, ducks and turkeys.

OSG Logo NewWentz Outdoors

DENVER (January 21, 2019) – Outdoor Sportsman Group digital program Wentz Brothers Outdoors, featuring 2017 Super Bowl champion and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz and his brother Zach Wentz, has garnered a presenting sponsorship deal with premium dog nutrition brand Eukanuba for the brothers’ digital series on OutdoorChannel.com.

Pet nutritionists and enthusiasts, Eukanuba will team up with the Wentz brothers to introduce
Wentz Brothers Outdoors presented by Eukanuba. The show launches on OutdoorChannel.com on September 3, 2019, as well as MyOutdoorTV.com, and run for 12 weeks.

Wentz Brothers Outdoors presented by Eukanuba tells the stories of two brothers from North Dakota – one who happens to play quarterback for the 2017 Super Bowl champions – who love the outdoors, find a sanctuary in the fields and streams and enjoy chronicling their exploits. Carson and Zach Wentz grew up hunting and fishing and this show is an extension of the lives they love away from the constant pressures of professional sports and management.

World Record Hunter-Taken Non-Typical Whitetail Featured in ‘North American Whitetail’ Magazine’s 2019 Spring Issue

OSG Logo New

Record Buck Harvested in Illinois

North American Hunter Feb Issue
The Spring 2019 issue of North American Whitetail magazine.

DENVER (January 22, 2019) – There is an official entry score for a pending world record hunter-taken non-typical white-tailed deer. The Illinois behemoth buck will be featured on the cover of the Spring 2019 issue of North American Whitetail magazine. The new contender for the title has come to be referred to as the “Brewster Buck” after Luke Brewster, the man who harvested the incredible whitetail while bowhunting on November 2, 2018.

The Brewster Buck has an official net entry score of 320 5/8”. That’s enough to topple the Pope & Young non-typical world record (Mike Beatty, 294”, Ohio, 2000) and the Boone & Crockett hunter-taken non-typical world record (Stephen Tucker, 312”, Tennessee, 2016). Luke Brewster’s buck will be subjected to final panel scoring by both the Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young clubs before the 60-day entry score can be made official, though a date for the panel has not yet been released.

Brewster was on hand to present the world-class buck to the excited crowd at the 2019 Archery Trade Association (ATA) trade show, along with North American Whitetail editor in chief Gordon Whittington and associate editor Haynes Shelton. The “Brewster Buck” became the highlight of the first day of the trade show, as the buck’s massive rack sent patrons into a frenzy.

Sportsman Channel Features Conservation Message with Marathon Programming on Saturday, January 26

OSG Logo New

Featured Documentary “Circle of Life” Highlights Weekend of Programming
Focused on Conservation Education

DENVER (January 21, 2019) – Sportsman Channel will feature an hour-long sheep documentary funded by the Wild Sheep Foundation titled Circle of Life which will premiere on Saturday, January 26 at 7 p.m. on Sportsman Channel.

The feature documentary will be a part of Sportsman Channel’s My Saturday Marathon High Country Rams which also includes: Petersen’s Hunting Adventures, Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures and MeatEater. The one-hour documentary, Circle of Life focuses on the history of wild sheep conservation and the people and organizations who worked relentlessly to help restore healthy populations of wild sheep to North America.

Living in some of the toughest landscapes in the world, wild sheep are a magnificently breathtaking animal. Unfortunately, during the late 1800s and early 1900s wild sheep populations across North America fell drastically. In the 1970s, a group of concerned sheep conservationists came together to help restore the struggling populations. Through these efforts, sheep populations in North America have skyrocketed, with increases in herds up 2,000 percent in some areas.

The Circle of Life film is a celebration of wild sheep in North America and the incredible conservation efforts that helped restore their populations. The documentary also looks at what the future holds for this great animal. Can sheep herds continue to grow? Will wild sheep be able to coexist with humans and the ever-changing landscapes in this modern world?
Circle of Life takes viewers through the history of wild sheep conservation, as well as what it will take to maintain healthy and thriving populations in the future.

“The Circle of Life documentary is an excellent example of how hunters are the greatest conservationists in the world,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore said. “This documentary helps explain how the ‘hunting for conservation’ issue really enables a species to not only survive but to prosper as a result.”

Sportsman Channel’s My Saturday Marathon High Country Rams airs on Saturday, January 26 with the following:

  • 5:00 p.m.         Petersen’s Hunting Adventures
  • 5:30 p.m.         Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures

Outdoor Sportsman Group Teams Up with ‘The Voodoo Crew’ and Duality Filmworks for New Fishing Adventure Program

OSG Logo New

From the Producers of “Pigman: The Series” Comes “The Voodoo Crew”

DENVER (January 14, 2019) Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) has teamed up with Duality Filmworks and Voodoo Fishing Charters for a new series – The Voodoo Crew – that will premiere on Outdoor Channel in April 2019. The announcement was made today by Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore.

Voodoo Crew
The Voodoo Crew will premiere on Outdoor Channel in April 2019.

The Voodoo Crew, out of Venice, Louisiana, consists of six custom 36-42’ sportfishing boats with a combined 22 engines that make up Voodoo Fishing Charters’ fleet. Throughout an average year, Voodoo Charters will book more than 1,100 fishing trips and log more than 12,000 hours on the waterways of the Gulf of Mexico.

In the season debut, cameras will follow the crew, and its entire operation, from sunrise to sunset while chronicling the grind and everyday lives of the captains, deckhands, staffers and clients that board the boats at dawn in hope of returning later in the day with a giant fish and story of how they battled the fish and Mother Nature. The grind is the life and viewers will quickly find out there is no other charter team that’s better suited for the challenge than The Voodoo Crew.

“This new partnership is very exciting for Outdoor Sportsman Group,” Liberatore said. “OSG has been steadily building its fishing programming on all of our networks. Fishing shows are proving to be compelling, competitive and exciting to watch and we have no doubt The Voodoo Crew will add to our expanding menu of quality outdoor lifestyle and fishing programming.”

There’s nothing scripted and fishy about the stories that viewers will see in this real-life snapshot of the high stakes charter fishing world.  The Voodoo Crew is produced by Los Angeles-based Duality Filmworks led by co-executive producers Brian Quaca and Dave Luce.

“We’re pumped to jump in on this joint venture with Outdoor Sportsman Group to show folks the daily battle it takes to become and remain a top-tier fishing charter,” Voodoo Charters Owner, Captain Trey Pique said. “The natural drama that occurs day-in and day-out is worth the price of admission with no phony script needed here.”

The Voodoo Crew will premiere on Outdoor Channel in April 2019.
