This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is OSG-Email-Signature_ALL-LOGOS_2024.png

DENVER (April 6, 2026) MyOutdoorTV invites everyone to join in Tuesday, April 7, at 7:00 a.m. ET, for the “Turkey Takedown 2 with Michael Waddell,” the platform’s second streaming Live Hunt for wild turkeys. Anyone can watch the live event for free on MOTV. If you can’t watch live at 7 o’clock, MOTV subscribers or anyone who starts a free trial can watch the Live Replay after the live event ends. During the first Turkey Takedown, Michael and oldest son Mason were able to double-up on hefty Osceola longbeards in Southwest Forida, but this time Waddell is targeting a big ol’ Eastern Boss Tom on his home turf in west-central Georgia.

Get up early and tune in as Michael Waddell heads into the turkey woods of “Downton Dixie” to settle a lifelong score with the subspecies of Thunder Chicken he cut his teeth on.

Waddell got his start in the Outdoors Industry after he won a number of turkey calling contests and began to film turkey hunts, so this real-time live hunt for the crafty critters that started it all has very special meaning. Of course, for those who anxiously await spring turkey season every year, each hunt has special meaning because it’s about so much more than bagging a bird. Wild turkeys also happen to be one of hunter-conservationists’ greatest success stories, as healthy populations continue to grow and offer excellent hunting opportunities.

Don’t miss your chance to team up with Michael Waddell, to experience Georgia’s turkey woods and to learn the tips, tackle, turkey talk and techniques that will get it done in Booger Bottom – and will get you a gobbler too!

This exciting event is part of a new category of streaming content for MyOutdoorTV subscribers and a powerful tool for experiencing outdoor pursuits in a more immediate manner and also for both teaching and learning moments for experienced hunters and newcomers alike. Welcome to MOTV Live – streaming live hunts on MyOutdoorTV – and if you miss the event for some reason, subscribers can always tune in anytime for the Live Replay.

MOTV offers turkey hunters unparalleled access to the most comprehensive, entertaining and educational programming available anywhere.

Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel Host Jim Shockey Honored with Weatherby Foundation Award

OSG Logo New

DENVER (December 18, 2019) – Character, integrity and sportsmanship may be words bandied about too freely today, but for Weatherby Foundation Award honorees those words are considered prerequisites. Only 60 hunters have been graced with the “The Weatherby Award” since its inception in 1956. On Wednesday, January 16 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas during the Dallas Safari Club convention, the 61st will be honored — Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel host Jim Shockey. Shockey joins fellow Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) host and editor Craig Boddington, who received the award in 2017. The duo represents the unprecedented likelihood of having back-to-back recipients as valued members of the OSG team.

The Weatherby Foundation Award recognizes hunters who have spent their lives pursuing their passion for hunting while also understanding that the above-mentioned attributes, as well as a conservation ethos and education, play a major role in hunting. The Weatherby Award, the most coveted honor among dedicated international big game hunters, represents the pinnacle of recognition for individuals who have hunted the most species in the most places around the world—under the most demanding conditions—while educating the non-hunting public about conservation and land management, as well as upholding integrity, dedication, sportsmanship and the highest personal ethical standards.

“The Weatherby Award is the pinnacle of success and achievement in hunting circles,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore said. “The Weatherby Award is an international award that recognizes honorees from all over the world. A big part of what makes this award so special is the fact that it has been awarded since 1956. OSG is proud to count Jim Shockey and Craig Boddington as family, reaffirming our commitment to excellence.”

Shockey’s recognition follows that of fellow OSG hunting personality and 2017 Weatherby Award recipient, Craig Boddington. Boddington joined Petersen Publishing Company in 1979, initially as Associate Editor for Guns & Ammo magazine. Over the next few years he served as Editor of Guns & Ammo Specialty Publications and Associate Editor of Petersen’s HUNTING, and as Editor of Petersen’s HUNTING magazine (1983-1994). Currently, Boddingtons serves as Executive Field Editor for Outdoor Sportsman Group, including: Guns & Ammo, Petersen’s HUNTING, and Petersen’s RifleShooter magazines, and co-host of Guns & Ammo TV and Petersen’s Hunting Adventures TV. Boddington has published more than 4,000 magazine articles; authored 25 books on hunting, shooting, and conservation; and has appeared in more than 500 television episodes.

“It’s a stunning coincidence that Jim and Craig’s recognition come in back-to-back years,” Liberatore added. “Because they are both so closely allied with Outdoor Sportsman Group, our entire ‘family’ feels a sense of pride in knowing that we work with the undisputed best in the business.”

Shockey and Boddington join an extremely distinguished group. Past winners include such notables as: Warren Page, Elgin Gates, Dr. James E. Conklin and Jack O’Connor (first Executive Editor of Petersen’s Hunting magazine). Presenters of the award include such famous and recognized figures as: Joe Foss, Wilbur Smith, Chuck Connors, Gene Autry, Ernest Borgnine, Jameson Parker, Generals Chuck Yeager, Norman Swartzkopt, President George Bush, as well as H.I.H Prince Abdorreza Pahlavi of Iran.

Shockey will be recognized during the annual Weatherby Foundation Award dinner and gala on Wednesday, January 16 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas during the annual Dallas Safari Club convention.
