About Major League Fishing: Developed through a joint effort between Outdoor Channel and the PBT anglers in 2011, Major League Fishing brings the high-intensity sport of competitive bass fishing into America's living rooms in the form of riveting two-hour TV episodes. World-class anglers are filmed over the course of a six-day event. The show captures their efforts as they utilize a demanding format that allows them to weigh all the "scorable bass" they catch. Unlike other competitive fishing events, live leaderboards in the boats allow anglers to know their standings at all times. For more information about the game, visit www.majorleaguefishing.com and follow Major League Fishing on Instagram and Facebook. You can catch all current and past episodes of Major League Fishing on #MyOutdoorTV, the world's leading outdoor television global, streaming service provider.

Wild Upland is an aspirational production dedicated to wing shooting adventure and the gun dogs that sustain the action.

The hosts of Wild Upland traverse some of the most remote locations of the United States in search of untamed adventure including Idaho for Hungarian partridge and California quail, Arizona for Mearns and scaled quail, South Dakota’s wild ring-necked pheasants, Maine’s Northwoods for ruffed grouse, and more.

Outdoor Channel’s Original Series ‘Feral’ Renews Deal for Second Season in 2023

OSG Logo New

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.
