Seven Fan-Favorite Programs Launch New Episodes on MyOutdoorTV

DENVER (August 10, 2026) – Arrows are grouping, rifles are zeroed, shotguns are patterned, late gear decisions are made, and while the rest of the world squanders the final weeks of summer, we’re hitting reset on the best game ever, and MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) is here with fresh episodes from some of the best hunting programs on Outdoor TV. MOTV’s August stack drop includes new shows from icons like Realtree Outdoors, Crush with Lee & Tiffany, The Western Hunter, and Drury’s THIRTEEN, as well as Canadian hits like Fatal Impact and Descendants of the North, and rounding it all out, fourth-gen commercial fisherman Tommy Gomes’ award-winning program – The Fishmonger. Don’t miss this perfect opportunity to get caught up on all the great hunting content MOTV has to offer and to help visualize your own coming success in the field.

Consider this impressive lineup of best-in-class programming:

Realtree Outdoors (Season 26) Join Realtree Founder Bill Jordan and team as they travel the country – and the world – in search of all types of game, from waterfowl and turkeys, to deer, elk, bears and more. The new season begins with Tyler Jordan hunting turkeys in New Zealand, then shifts to early whitetail action with the Roadtrips crew in Nebraska and David Blanton in Wyoming. Then Cole Barthel heads to Canada for waterfowl. By mid-September, it’s time for the “Georgia Opener,” and the program focuses on hunting deer in the Southeast before Atlanta Braves Third Baseman Austin Riley heads west for a true monster buck.

Crush with Lee & Tiffany (Season 18) Lee and Tiffany Lakosky have blazed a trail within the outdoor industry, proving that hard work, perseverance, dedication and skill can accomplish anything. Together with their children, Cameron and Raygen, their Labrador retrievers and a revolving roster of family and friends, Team Lakosky has figured out the formula for crushing some of the biggest game there is. In the new season, Lee and Tiffany start out chasing monster mule deer in Albert, then it’s off to hunt bull elk in Montana before the first cold front coincides with October’s red moon for “Lee’s Whitetail Perfect.” When Tiffany settles in for the “Whitetail Grind” in Iowa, the season is just getting started…

The Western Hunter (Season 14) Follow hosts Nate Simmons and Chris Denham on their adventures throughout the West, from Mexico, through the Rockies and into Alaska. Every episode features stunning videography with a true appreciation and respect for our public lands. This long-standing program is about the passion we all share for true adventure; time spent with family; and gratitude for the privilege of roaming the West. The season starts with Chris and Mark Denham hunting antelope in Wyoming, then Nate Simmons climbs into Wyoming’s high country in search of public-land mule deer. On the following “Gem State Jackpot” episodes, Chris Denham plans to fill both elk and deer tags in Idaho.

Drury’s THIRTEEN (Season 13) It’s Man vs. Mother Nature and Drurys vs. Deer in the knock down drag out battle royal that is deer season. This groundbreaking program chronicles Mark and Terry Drury’s season-long quest for mature whitetails; and the sharing of tips, tactics and hunting info of all kinds is at an all-time high as the Drurys break it down to Drury’s 13 phases of deer season. With a little help from a cast of characters like Matt & Taylor Drury and Jim Thome and Gary LeVox, viewers experience all the ups and downs of Drury’s THIRTEEN. The season kicks off in Iowa with Mark Drury and Catch-A-Dream hunter Will Campbell for Phase One; then Mark heads to Missouri for a Phase 2 buck and continues hunting Phase 2 in Iowa with his mom, Lucille. On “Legends of Greener Pastures,” Mark Drury faces off with a nine-year-old buck, and Taylor Drury takes aim at a Missouri giant. Then Drury makes the most of Phase 4 in Iowa before the Phase 5 stage of High Anticipation in early November…and the rut is on!

Fatal Impact (Season 13) Since 2017, this team of enterprising young Canadian hunters and anglers have been traveling and documenting their adventures across Western Canada. Hosts Cory White, Darcy Kwiatkowski, Dana White, Missy Solberg and Jeff Solberg specialize in public-land hunting for big whitetails, mule deer, moose and more. Spectacular cinematic videography and upbeat storytelling are hallmarks of this outstanding production that emphasizes ethical and responsible hunting and preserving the sport for future generations.

Descendants Of The North (Season 7) With hearts pounding, fingers on the trigger, breathing stilled and bodies nearly frozen, Hosts Jeff Coyle and Helgie Eymundson take viewers on educational adventures into the wild across Canada and the world. Since 2020, the team has recorded a variety of hunting and trapping, honoring the traditions of the past and involving their families and friends as part of the never-ending story of living the outdoors lifestyle in the Far North.

The Fishmonger (Season 6) This program follows fourth generation commercial fisherman Tommy Gomes on his coastal journey to connect with the men and women who consistently put the best seafood on American dinner tables. These heroes of the sea regularly risk life and limb to sustainably harvest finfish and bottom-dwellers; and most commercial operators are single-boat operators. Tommy joins chefs with Michelin stars and others who are passionate about how to make the absolute most of their wild catch.

Subscribers can stream this premium outdoor programming anytime, anywhere—from Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel and World Fishing Network producers—to virtually any device. Whether enjoying a quiet evening in front of the big screen, watching from the deck of a bass boat, or catching an episode from a treestand, MOTV ensures your favorite shows are never far away.

It’s Time to Get in The ‘Buck Zone’ on GAME & FISH TV – The Ultimate Destination for Outdoor Adventure

DENVER (August 7, 2026) – Zero in on the best evening of hardcore deer-hunting programs at any time on any network, and it’s all here on the “Buck Zone” block on GAME & FISH TV, a dynamic new FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) channel powered by Outdoor Sportsman Group. Every Thursday in August, don’t miss one-hour blocks of Buck Commander, HeadHunters TV, BuckVentures, Buckmasters, Drury’s THIRTEEN and Whitetail Freaks.

With deer season fast-approaching, it’s time to focus on your equipment, skills and tactics, and to fine-tune your hunting plans based upon your experience and initial scouting – and to tune in to GAME & FISH TV’s “Buck Zone,” Thursdays from 6:00 – 11:30 p.m. ET:

Buck Commander – A fan-favorite for obvious reasons, this program led by “Boss Hogg” Willie Robertson, features an all-star cast, including former MLB players Adam LaRoche, Ryan Langerhans and Tombo Martin, along with country music artists Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Tyler Farr, plus well-known Louisiana entrepreneur Ryan Busbice from Surge Outdoors. A fascinating mix of reality TV and hunting show, every episode is packed with personality as the hard-charging team members chase monster bucks and try to outdo one another. Expect brotherhood, plenty of laughter and a shenanigan or two. In a recent episode, “The Story of Maurice,” Adam LaRoche chases a legendary buck named “Maurice” at the E3 Ranch in South Texas.

HeadHunters TV – Hosts Randy Birdsong and Nate Hosie are as different as two hosts can be, but they’ve both earned the reputation for traveling further, working longer and sacrificing more to find hunting success and to share their stories with viewers. Often muddy, unshaven and red-faced from the wind and sun, no TV hunters are more determined to tag mature whitetails. In a recent program, “Kings of Kansas,” Nate Hosie heads back to Triple Creek Outfitters in Kansas and tags one of his best archery bucks of all time with his Mathews bow.

BuckVentures – Now in Season 23, Hosts Jeff Danker, Daniel McVay and Cole Cannon live by the credo, “Shoot by Sight, Walk by Faith,” and they strive to capture world-class hunts across the country while always giving God the glory. It’s their goal to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere they go. In a recent episode, “A Texas Miracle,” Cole Cannon kicks off the rifle season chasing a Sooner State legend before a longtime friend calls and tells him he’d better head to Texas.

Buckmasters – Hosted by Buckmasters Founder Jackie Bushman, with help from Mark Oliver, this program serves the industry’s #1 hunting community for serious deer hunters. Bushman and team travel wherever whitetail deer roam across North America in pursuit of the country’s most sought-after big game animal. In a recent episode, “Smoke Pole,” Aly and Jackie Bushman are in Oklahoma for muzzleloader season.

Drury’s THIRTEEN – Based on Drury Outdoors’ decades of scouting and trail camera research, this program looks at deer season in 13 phases and at the same time takes the technical aspects of outdoor entertainment to new heights. With every episode, the THIRTEEN phases are broken down and include thrilling action and hunting tips and tactics to aid viewers in their own pursuits. In a recent episode, “Deer Camp Family Ties,” the focus is on Phase Eight – Desperately Seeking – and the program follows Terry Drury’s Missouri gun camp as Lucille and Cameron Drury look to fill their tags.

Whitetail Freaks – Created and hosted by renowned whitetail authorities and fan-favorite TV personalities Don & Kandi Kisky, this program highlights every aspect of successful whitetail management and top-notch trophy hunting, from food plot planting to hanging treestands to tracking pre-season big buck movements to the selective harvesting of only the biggest, most mature whitetails. The Kiskys and their team of dedicated whitetail fanatics capture the true meaning of mega-buck hunting. A recent episode, “Kandi Kisky, Part 1,” looks at the greatest bucks that Kandi Kisky has hunted over the years.

Watch LIVE Saturday & Sunday (Aug. 8-9) from 1:00-4:00 p.m. ET: MLF Bass Pro Tour Suzuki Marine Stage 7 Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, held at Lake Erie in Ohio.

Weekend Fishing Blocks – During August, catch Trev Gowdy’s Monster Fish, The Obsession with Carter Andrews and Major League Fishing every Saturday morning, and Hooked on Africa, Hooked on Travel and Wildfly every Sunday morning from 6:00-12:00 p.m. ET.

Lean Back & Stream: ‘The MeatEater Channel’ is Back on MyOutdoorTV for one month only

DENVER (August 5, 2026) – “The MeatEater Channel” returns to MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) throughout the month of August, bringing viewers the best and the latest shows from the MeatEater crew, all pre-programmed and ready to stream. An icon in outdoor education and entertainment with a worldwide following, Steven Rinella has an insatiable curiosity about the outdoors and passion for hunting, conservation and the field-to-table lifestyle that permeates every MeatEater production, and the result is exhilarating adventure, epic storytelling, and almost always great eats. “The MeatEater Channel” includes recent seasons of MeatEater, MeatEater Hunts, MeatEater Limited Series, MeatEater Rinella’s Field Notes, MeatEater Roasts, MeatEater’s Cal in the Field, MeatEater’s 12 in 26, Rough Cuts with Steven Rinella, and the new MeatEater-production – Our Way of Life, all part of the extensive and growing library of MeatEater content available to stream now on MOTV.

Viewers won’t want to miss “The MeatEater Channel” lineup of binge-worthy shows:

MeatEater (13 seasons) – Host Steven Rinella continues what he started on the Sportsman Channel way back in 2013, deconstructing and mastering any hunting technique, tracking and pursuing wild game and procuring his own food, and then turning his harvests into mouth-watering meals. Rinella stays true to the ancestral tradition of sustenance hunting, and nothing goes to waste. Season 13 starts in Louisiana with Rinella heading offshore to spearfish for greater amberjack and then inshore to cast for redfish, then he heads to Montana to hunt deer with his muzzleloader before heading to Texas for Rio Grande turkeys, Alaska for black bears, and making a first-ever African safari to Tanzania in East Africa, and there’s much more.

MeatEater’s Cal In The Field (6 seasons) – Ryan “Cal” Callaghan takes his audience on one-of-a-kind adventures and brings attention to some pressing wildlife resource concerns. In this new season, Cal heads to Massachusetts’ Atlantic Coast for striped bass, to Idaho’s iconic Snake River to explore problem dams and Nez Perce tribal fishing rights, and to Wyoming for a hard-to-draw elk bowhunt and much more.

MeatEater Hunts (5 seasons) – Viewers follow their favorite MeatEater crew members as they travel to wild places and learn the land – and the waters – to bring home meat (and hides) and make best use of their harvests. In Season 5, there’s decoying public-land whitetails, deer hunting with dogs, a look at habitat restoration while hunting Kentucky whitetails, a once-in-a-lifetime hunt for elk in Nebraska, a series of upland and waterfowl hunts and finally, a day of fly fishing for mountain stream cutthroats with NASCAR champion Chase Elliot.

MeatEater Limited Series (2 seasons) – This series features a mixed bag of intriguing, educational content from the MeatEater crew, delving into such matters as proper grizzly bear defense; whether the Corps of Discovery really caught 100-lb. catfish on the Missouri River; what it takes to butcher a bison using Clovis points and other Ice Age tools; smoking a wild pig and prepping tasty sides from the “MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook”; a mid-winter hog hunt with Rinella and Cameron Hanes in Texas; hunting ducks with the likes of former Green Bay Packer Clay Matthews, as well as with Bussin’ With The Boys; going back to school on the MeatEater Tailgate Tour; building and racing boats made from green willow and raw buffalo hides; plus, cooking turkeys, axis deer, mystery meat and much more.

MeatEater – Rinella’s Field Notes (New) – This program takes viewers behind the scenes of some of Rinella’s most unforgettable hunts, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the moments that didn’t make the final cut – and the ones that won’t ever be forgotten. From epic stalks and close calls to lessons learned in the field, this series looks at the stories within the stories.

MeatEater Roasts (New) – MeatEater’s cooking competition show, this fast-paced program pits ordinary wild game cooks against one another as seasoned wild-game cooks and chefs add encouragment and judge the cookoff. Each week, there’s a mystery cut of wild-game meat for the competitors to use in preparing their best dish possible.

Rough Cuts with Steven Rinella (New) – Documenting six far-ranging and very diverse hunts, with each episode embracing a unique, creative approach and educational experience, this series isn’t just about the thrill of the chase but also about exploring depths of character, risks taken and lessons learned.

MeatEater’s 12 in ‘26 (New) – Presenting one outdoor film per month throughout 2026, this special production documents a single, top hunt, fishing trip or adventure. From exploring the coasts of Alaska to following wolves in Yellowstone, these aren’t highlight reels – they’re full, honest films that put you in the field with the MeatEater crew like never before.

Our Way of Life (New) – From the creators of MeatEater, this program follows Alaska native “Kootink,” Heather Douville, as she documents her tribe’s cultural and hunting practices and knowledge with the goal of teaching and instilling these values in future generations through specialty pursuits only available to a member of the Tlingit Nation. Douville embraces her heritage and fully practices what it means to be a steward of the land: respecting what she takes from the land, giving back to the land, using as much as possible and sharing with fellow tribe members. These core values define how Douville moves within her landscape of Tlingit Aani, or what is called Southeast Alaska.

“We’re extremely proud of the relationship we’re building with the MeatEater crew, and we’re absolutely thrilled to offer the MyOutdoorTV audience this incredible live channel during the dog days of summer,” said Sean Luxton, Senior Vice President and General Manager of MOTV. “Viewers will be hard pressed to find a better, more compelling batch of first-rate outdoor programming – and a good reason to seek relief from summer’s heat.”

Steven Rinella is an avid outdoorsman, writer, and television personality best known for his ability to translate the hunting lifestyle to various audiences. He hosts the long-running television show MeatEater and the top-ranked MeatEater podcast. He is the New York Times bestselling author of ten books dealing with wildlife, hunting, fishing and wild game cooking, most recently The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook: Wild Game Recipes for the Grill, Smoker, Campstove, and Campfire and Catch a Crayfish, Count the Stars: Fun Projects, Skills, and Adventures for Outdoor Kids. He received the Conservation Achievement Award from The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
