DENVER (April 14, 2023) – Heartland Waterfowl, airing Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sportsman Channel, shares compelling stories through creative filming and honest experiences while promoting the true ethics of waterfowl hunting. This week’s episode features the November return to North Dakota with limits of green and a bonus trophy bird for Logan.

Heartland Waterfowl is hosted by Logan Burditt and Ronnie Philips. Burditt is a fifth-generation waterfowl hunter with roots originating from northeast Missouri. He was extremely fortunate to have been raised with numerous highly-qualified outdoorsmen in his life. Safety and animal conservation were strongly taught and enforced. He shot his first pheasant at the early age of seven with a 410 shotgun. He quickly became a fan of all bird hunting and saw his love of the sport intensify while playing college baseball at Fort Hays State University in Kansas.

As a second grader from Marysville, Kansas, Ronnie was introduced to upland bird and deer hunting by his grandfather, David Curtis Carter. He learned about the outdoors from that man who made a name for himself as a multi-year Bird Dog Trial Champion in South Carolina and owner of Carter’s Shooting Preserve. Several years later, his passion for chasing upland birds shifted to waterfowl after his first afternoon duck hunt outside of Mound City, MO. After 22 years as a country music on-air radio personality, Philips decided to parlay that experience into his passion for the outdoors with the creation of Heartland Waterfowl.

Watch Heartland Waterfowl on Sportsman Channel on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. ET.

James Beard Award Nominee Yia Vang Cooks More Invasive Species as a Delicacy

DENVER (April 10, 2023) – Season One of Feral featured pythons, iguanas, wild pigs, common carp and lionfish. Now, adventure-loving and culinary arts explorer Yia Vang is ready to chase, harvest, cook and eat more crazy creatures again on Outdoor Channel. Feral has been renewed and will premiere Season 2 in December 2023. The announcement was made today by Outdoor Sportsman Group Head of Programming Tim Cremin.

There are thousands of invasive and feral animal species around the world – and surprisingly, many of them are delicious. The show highlights the wilderness adventure, thrill of the chase and exploration of less-traditional hunted species with a fun host and engaging guests that are in search of unique and wonderful food prepared by Vang, a James Beard Award nominee and master chef.

A trained chef, avid traveler, angler and hunter, Vang is always up for a culinary challenge. He has been named Best Chef in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) multiple times, been featured on CNN’s United Shades of America, in the pages of National Geographic and graced the cover of the May 2020 issue of Bon Appetit.

Each 30-minute episode features Vang arriving in a new location, identifying an invasive species and coming up with a plan for catching and cooking it. Often with the help of a local expert who will guide him on his quest – and bear witness to his mistakes – Vang will do whatever it takes to create an amazing and unusual meal by the end of every episode.

The Outdoor Channel original series Feral airs during Monday nights “Taste of the Wild” programming block.

Feral also can be seen on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV).

About Yia Vang: One of seven siblings, Chef Yia Vang was born in a Thai refugee camp where he lived until his family resettled in central Wisconsin. A trained chef who started his career working as a dishwasher, Yia uses food to tell a story and believes that every dish has a narrative. Through sourcing what’s in season and combining local traditions with those from his family and cultural traditions, the former “Iron Chef” participant brings Hmong flavors to American palates and invites people to change how they think about food by considering the influences in each bite. His new restaurant concept Vinai, slated to open in 2023 in Northeast Minneapolis, will celebrate his parents’ legacy and tell his family’s story through food.
