Take it to the Road with New Series ‘AdVANture Hunter’ on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel

OSG Logo New

DENVER (January 25, 2021) – AdVANture Hunter is a new, action-packed outdoor series airing on Sportsman Channel on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. AdVANture Hunter showcases a nomadic, sustainable outdoor lifestyle that can be achieved while living and traveling in a kitted-out Mercedes
Sprinter van.

Hosted by Jim Kinsey, with co-host Brandon Nelson, AdVANture Hunter is where the rubber literally meets the road. “People ask me how I came up with the idea of AdVANture Hunter,” Kinsey shared. “I just came off a successful, nine-year run of a series on Sportsman Channel, and I wanted to re-invent myself. I wanted something that was mobile. I wanted to travel in it, film and edit in it, and I started looking into the overland-van life crowd. How could I be this nomadic film-maker talking about adventure sustainability and conservation? And then, the idea was born.”

In the first episode, Kinsey meets up with the “Sharkman” himself, Manny Puig, who shows how to build a trident and go after tilapia, an invasive species in South Florida.

Feed Your Heart and Soul Monday Nights on Outdoor Channel with ‘Taste of the Wild’ Programming Block

OSG Logo New

Bring on the Stretchy Pants Every Monday Beginning at 7 p.m. ET

DENVER (January 18, 2021) – Outdoor Channel wants to feed viewers’ who crave all things wild game with a new prepping and cooking programming block – Taste of the Wild – on Monday nights beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Taste of the Wild offers a mouthwatering lineup of shows: WildFed (7 p.m ET), Dead Meat (7:30 p.m. ET) and MeatEater (8 p.m. ET).

Join hunter and forager, Daniel Vitalis, on a culinary journey through the mountains, woods and waters on Outdoor Channel’s new series, WildFed. Vitalis makes each meal an adventure waiting to be discovered as he and his guests show viewers the gear, techniques and traditions to sustainably hunt, harvest and cook incredible wild foods found everywhere.

For many hunters and gatherers, the adage, “If it is worth killing, it is worth eating” is a life-long value. Saying that, some might shudder when considering dining on some of the “less-desirable” parts but not Scott Leysath, host of the popular television series, Dead Meat. Airing Seasons 1-3, Dead Meat promises even more edgy, outrageous and maybe scary, moments.

MeatEater with Steven Rinella has been a perennial favorite with Outdoor Sportsman Group viewers since its debut eight years ago. As Rinella eloquently puts it, the show is not just about the pursuit of an animal, but who Rinella is as a person and what makes him pursue that animal.

Archery Trade Association’s ‘ATA New Product Premiere’ Debuts on January 16 on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel

OSG Logo New

ATA Special Airs January 16 at 6:00 p.m. ET

DENVER (January 15, 2021) – The Archery Trade Association (ATA) and Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) are pleased to announce that their collaborative ATA New Product Premiere will air on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel on January 16 at 6:00 p.m. ET. The 30-minute, limited interruption program detailing new products and technologies from some of the biggest names in the industry, is an innovative response to the ATA’s difficult decision to host their annual trade show virtually January 11-15, 2021.

The ATA New Product Premiere offers viewers a detailed look at new gear from some of the industry’s top manufacturers, and it’s presented by the seasoned experts from some of Outdoor Sportsman Groups’ most respected multimedia brands including: Bowhunter, Petersen’s Bowhunting, North American Whitetail and Game & Fish Magazines.

“Without a doubt, the annual ATA Show is the pivotal kickoff event for the archery market’s new season of product introductions, with consumers anxiously awaiting all the new gear and services coming out of that show,” Outdoor Sportsman Group Publishing COO Michael Carney said. “We applaud the ATA management and participating members for their leadership in ensuring that, in spite of the physical show not taking place due to the pandemic, consumers will have the opportunity to see and learn about some truly ground-breaking new products and services in a dynamic, entertaining format.”

New product information also will be revealed in the coming days on leading OSG websites like Bowhunter.com, BowhuntingMag.com, NorthAmericanWhitetail.com and GameandFishMag.com. Plus, the ATA coverage continues as the editorial teams from Bowhunter, Petersen’s Bowhunting, North American Whitetail and Game & Fish Magazine continue to deliver timely information and product reviews in the coming weeks.

“It was our intention from the very beginning to provide participating partners with ongoing new-product exposure across our multimedia brands, just as though the physical ATA Show had taken place,” Outdoor Sportsman Group Bowhunting Brands Publisher Jeff Waring said.

While there’s the obvious disappointment that the tightly-knit bowhunting community can’t gather this month in Indianapolis, there’s also plenty of optimism looking ahead at the coming year.

"We definintely miss seeing our ATA members and industry friends in person,” ATA Senior Director of Trade Show and Membership Maria Lewis said. “But, we’re excited to be partnered with Outdoor Sportsman Group to bring the unique ATA New Product Premiere to consumers, retailers and dealer members.”

About Archery Trade Association: The Archery Trade Association is the organization for manufacturers, retailers, distributors, sales representatives and others working in the archery and bowhunting industry. The ATA has served its members since 1953. We work to increase the recruitment and retention of new, current and once-active archers and bowhunters.
