DENVER (October 8, 2024) – The Outdoor Channel proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades of excellence in outdoor programming. To commemorate this significant milestone, Jackie Bushman, renowned host of the popular TV series Buckmasters, shares his insights and experiences, reflecting on the enduring popularity and passion for the outdoor lifestyle.

Reflecting on 30 Years of Success

Jackie Bushman has been a fixture in the outdoor television world for nearly four decades. "There are so many episodes to look back at since this is our 38th fall season to tape for the ‘Buckmasters’ series," says Bushman. "Two of my favorite hunting spots, and I think our fans really enjoyed as well, were hunts in Montana and Alberta, Canada. Not only are those shows where we have shot our biggest bucks, but the scenery is just beautiful."

Bushman also reminisces about one of his most unforgettable episodes. "The craziest show I ever did was when I got in a pair of snake chaps and let a huge rattlesnake bite me. I'm more known as the tall skinny guy that jumps and screams from snakes than any big buck I have ever taken!” he laughs.

A Pivotal Moment for Outdoor Television

Bushman believes Outdoor Channel stands strong with its producers. "When some of the major networks started feeling pressure from outside sources concerning hunting and guns, the Outdoor Channel stepped up and made that commitment to feature this lifestyle programming. When that happened, outdoor TV skyrocketed!"

Over the years, the channel has attracted diverse personalities from all parts of the globe, which has offered outdoor viewers a wide variety of content to tune in, download or stream. "Outdoor Channel’s presence has also led a new generation to get involved in the outdoors, and that's a great thing," Bushman adds.

Honoring the Outdoor Community

Being part of the Outdoor Channel for 30 years is a testament to the strength and love for the outdoor lifestyle within the hunting and fishing community. "There are so many great producers bringing fantastic educational and entertaining programming. I'm so proud to be part of this unique culture," Bushman remarks.

However, one particular annual episodes holds a special place in Bushman's heart— the Buckmasters Lifehunt. "This hunt hosts terminally ill kids and wounded soldiers. We have been blessed to make a lot of dreams come true over the years, and it has been an honor and pleasure to be part of this hunt for over 28 years,” he shares.

A Message for Aspiring Outdoor Enthusiasts

For those passionate about the outdoor lifestyle, Bushman offers some words of wisdom. "If this is your passion, go for it,” Bushman shares. “It is a big commitment with a lot of traveling. Plus, you need a very understanding spouse because the hunting season starts in August and goes through the next May, depending on what type of show you are producing."

Join Outdoor Channel in celebrating 30 years of excellence in outdoor programming. Follow along with Jackie Bushman and crew of Buckmasters as they continue to share their adventures.

Firearms News’ Facebook Page Getting Deleted Is Part of the Reason Why

DENVER (October 4, 2024) – The saying “what comes around, goes around” rings true today as Firearms News, a leading voice in the Second Amendment community since 1946, announces a renewed commitment to print media as social media censorship further restricts free information flow. The publication’s Facebook page, a top resource for nearly 1 million followers, was recently deleted without warning, underscoring the growing challenges faced by conservative and pro-Second Amendment voices online.

Firearms News has long balanced the legacy of print media with the immediacy of digital content, publishing both monthly issues and daily updates online. Despite digital disruptions, the publication remains steadfast in its dedication to delivering unfiltered Second Amendment news, historical firearm insights, and gun reviews.

"Social media censorship shows the importance and value of our print roots," notes David M. Fortier, Executive Editor at Firearms News. "Our community relies on us for unbiased journalism, and print is a key part of ensuring our message reaches those who value freedom and transparency."

The deletion of Firearms News’ Facebook page comes amidst a broader crackdown on content by significant tech platforms. According to their own social data, this year's engagement metrics reveal a staggering 90 percent drop due to algorithm changes targeting firearms-related media. Despite having invested millions in advertising on these platforms, Firearms News and its parent company, Outdoor Sportsman Group, have faced insurmountable obstacles in restoring their online presence.

“Our parent company, Outdoor Sportsman Group, has spent millions of dollars advertising with Facebook over the years, however, it has not been afforded the opportunity to resolve the matter to any reasonable conclusion. This begs the question as to whether Facebook is a platform companies should feel secure investing their money and manpower in if it can be wiped out instantaneously without discourse or proper oversight,” questions Fortier.

Read more about this issue here.

While big tech would love to see the death of traditional publishing, the industry is experiencing a resurgence. According to recent surveys, books and magazines are very much alive, with 2021 launching 122 new print magazines in the United States alone. A revived interest in print has been attributed to the analog preferences of Gen Z readers, confirming Firearms News’ data which indicates a strong increase among men 18-35 years old.

“It is important to remember, print can’t be deleted, which means Firearms News will be here to stay. As long as our readers enjoy our exclusive content and reviews, our editors and writers will be here giving the facts on what matters in the world of firearms and Second Amendment rights,” concluded Fortier.

With a commitment to maintaining a free and open dialogue, Firearms News invites readers to explore its print and online offerings. Subscribers receive twelve annual issues enriched by in-depth articles and cutting-edge industry analyses; subscribe now and never miss an update.

Nick’s Wild Ride Airs 7:30 p.m. ET on Fridays during “American Wild” Block

DENVER (September 27, 2024) – For the last nine years, country music artist and hunter, Nick Hoffman, of Nick’s Wild Ride has been taking audiences on an incredible global journey on Outdoor Channel. In his latest season, premiering September 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET, Hoffman promises more adventures, more food, culture, music and more history to get to the heartbeat of the locations he visits.

Since its inception nearly a decade ago, Nick's Wild Ride with Nick Hoffman has featured destinations from Argentina to Europe, Kyrgyzstan to Africa, and Alaska to Arizona. Reflecting on these experiences, Hoffman remarked, "In my wildest dreams, I never expected the places this show would take me. Every location has been special and life-changing in some way, but if I had to pick a favorite, the first time in Africa was a life-changing event on many levels.”

A Legacy of Impact

Hoffman’s personal mantra emphasizes that hunting is about more than just taking an animal, which is something viewers see time and again throughout the series. "A hunting trip, whether to the neighboring town or another country, is about adventure, people, stories, food, drink, laughs, and heartache. The actual taking of an animal is a small part of it," he said. He said this message has resonated deeply with viewers, contributing to the show's enduring popularity.

Celebrating Outdoor Channel's 30th Anniversary

The launch of the ninth season coincides with Outdoor Channel's 30th anniversary, a milestone that holds personal significance for Hoffman. "For a guy that didn’t grow up in a hunting family, watching hunting TV was like having a best friend in the TV. It was entertaining and educational for a young hunter, and it still is," Hoffman shared. “Even if I’m putzing around the house, Outdoor Channel is always on in the background.”

What to Expect in Season Nine

This season, viewers can expect all the hallmarks of Nick's Wild Ride—more hunts in exotic places, more beer, more food, and more of the unexpected moments that have come to define the show.

Highlights include:

• A return to New Zealand, where Hoffman faced and conquered his biggest fear and tasted one of the most unusual foods he's ever encountered.
• Conservation work in Africa.
• Flying his own plane to hunts in locations such as Mississippi.
• Adventures in Spain and Scotland, including hunting woodcock and red deer.
• Public land hunting in Colorado, where Hoffman explored the history behind the sheepdog in Meeker, CO.

Looking Ahead

Nick's Wild Ride is already in production for its tenth season. Fans can also look forward to Hoffman's new book, set to release in 2025, and a new album coming out this fall.

Hoffman offered advice to newcomers wishing to follow in his footsteps, "If you really want something and put yourself in the right places, anything can happen. Don’t give up after a year—it’s a long tail process."

Nick Hoffman is an award-winning country music artist whose passion for travel and the outdoors takes him to the world’s most interesting places. After 12 years as the fiddle player in Country Music Star Kenny Chesney’s Band, he struck out on his own and scored hit songs with country trio “THE FARM.” Now, Nick’s Wild Ride, shows people a side of Nick Hoffman they’ve never seen. Part traveler, part hunter, part historian, with some party-guy sprinkled in, viewers never know what he’ll do next.

Join Nick Hoffman on Nick's Wild Ride and experience the adventures that have captured the hearts of viewers worldwide. Don’t miss the premiere on Friday, September 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.

James Beard Award Finalist Yia Vang Cooking Invasive Species as a Delicacy

DENVER (September 23, 2024) – The highly anticipated third season of Feral is set to premiere on the Outdoor Channel on September 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET. This season promises new culinary challenges and hunting adventures with renowned chef and host, Yia Vang. Feral 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 finalist 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 and has 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 will feature 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. Vang will do whatever it takes to create an amazing and unusual meal by the end of every episode.

“I am especially proud of this season as I am feeling stronger as a host and am anticipating how to best gel with the local guides to make the most out of every episode,” shared Vang. “Of course the crew wanted to replicate me getting bit by a snake again, like what happened in season one of Feral, but I was a bit wiser this time around with all the animal species we encountered.”

Season Three Highlights

• Texas Bayou Alligator Gar and Bullfrogging Adventure:

This season, Yia Vang takes on the daunting task of hunting alligator gar near Houston, Texas, where the ratio of alligators to humans is an astonishing 10 to 1. The episode also features a bullfrogging adventure, conducted at night amidst the lurking presence of alligators. "Nature never plays well," Vang remarks, emphasizing the unpredictable and dangerous aspects of the hunt.

• Connection with Indigenous Culture in New Mexico:

Another standout episode sees Vang traveling to New Mexico to hunt on Indigenous land. Vang and his team are only the fourth camera crew allowed on this sacred land. Here, they hunt prairie dogs and jackrabbits, and Vang forms a deep connection with the tribal elders as they share their respective cultures and traditions of living off the land. He prepares a unique dish of braised prairie dog with locally sourced green chilies, which he suggests serving over rice and corn.

• Catfish Noodling in Oklahoma:

Vang ventures into the adventurous and somewhat nerve-wracking world of catfish noodling in Oklahoma. In this adrenaline-pumping episode, he successfully catches catfish using only his hands, despite the challenges and playful pranks from the crew. Locals instruct Vang to marinate the catfish in Mountain Dew, adding an unexpected twist to the preparation.

• Northern Pike Fishing on Lake Minnetonka:

The season also features an episode from Lake Minnetonka, back in Vang’s home turf, where he catches his largest northern pike to date, measuring 31-32 inches. He shares his preferred method of roasting the pike whole and then using the trimmed fillets in various dishes such as salads.

Throughout the season, Yia relies on his trusty Nomad Grill, which he takes everywhere, ensuring that he can prepare delectable dishes no matter where his adventures take him.

The Outdoor Channel original series Feral will air during Monday nights “Taste of the Wild” programming block at 7:30 p.m. ET.

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.
