DENVER (February 5, 2026) – Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) recognized Chris Dolnack, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), with the media company’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual NSSF Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) in Las Vegas in January.

Towards the end of this segment of the live stream, Live from SHOT Show with Michael Waddell, OSG Group Publisher Michael Cassidy slipped the award to Michael Waddell for unboxing by Dolnack, with OSG Executive Vice President of Operations Derek Sevcik standing just off camera. Dolnack smiled warmly as he received the award, which celebrates more than three decades of contribution to the NSSF on behalf of the shooting sports and the firearms industry.

“I’m surprised and humbled to be recognized by Outdoor Sportsman Group,” said Dolnack. “If you would have told my 20-year-old self that I would have the career and life that I’ve had working in the outdoor and shooting sports industry, I never would have believed it. I’ve made so many lifelong friends, and worked with so many great people, and I’m grateful for those friendships and opportunities I’ve had along the way.”

All who attended the recent SHOT Show can attest to the trade show’s continued growth and success, much of which can be attributed to Dolnack’s leadership and to the overall excellence of his marketing and membership teams.

He is more than deserving of this recognition, and because of his efforts, I know the future of the NSSF is bright!”

DENVER (February 4, 2026) – There’s no better way to prep for Super Bowl Sunday than to tune in Saturday night, Feb. 7, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. ET, for Sportsman Channel’s “Super Pigskin Bowl” lineup. There’s no championship game without a football, and in the early days of the sport there was literally no football without a pigskin, and for that reason Sportsman Channel is back with one of its highest-rated programming blocks of the year. Before your thrill at Saturday’s grid-iron action, check out our furious hog-hunting action!

Count on the “Super Pigskin Bowl” to bring the very best hog-hunting adventures from these outstanding hunting series:

Predator Pursuit (4:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m.): In back-to-back-to-back episodes, Host Jeff Thomason and his hard-hunting crew join up with Justin Guerry of GatorGlades Hunts in Moore Haven, Florida, for a true Sunshine State Safari. Hunting gators by day and relentlessly pursuing wild hogs by night with the aid of thermal gear, you can expect Thomason’s entertaining and educational hosting style to reach its height thanks to plenty of hog-hunting-induced Southern adrenaline.

Night Crew (5:30 p.m.): Nobody owns the night like Host Chris Robinson and his team of enterprising hunters who have taken predator hunting and filming at night to never-before-seen levels. On this epic episode called “Pig Poker Re-Boot,” the only question is who will win the next round? We’re pretty sure it won’t be the pigs!

Pigman: The Series (6:00 p.m.): In “Oklahoma Hogs at EP’s,” Pigman returns to one of his favorite destinations for world class hog hunting. A true-blue original, Pigman is an unapologetic, high-energy host with a larger-than-life personality, and his reputation was built on hardcore hog hunting. His fearless approach and raw authenticity make every hunt an adrenaline-fueled spectacle that keeps audiences coming back for more. It wouldn’t be the “Super Pigskin Bowl” without Brian “Pigman” Quaca!

MeatEater (6:30 p.m.): In this special episode, “Bush Pig – New Zealand Wild Boar,” Host Steven Rinella – the renowned hunter, author, cook, and conservationist – teams up with local wild pig legend Darren Moore to spend a wild, action-packed day tracking down Captain Cook boars in the thick New Zealand bush. Tools for the job include two little pig dogs, a knife, and some real grit. These pigs are tenacious and pose a risk to both the men and the dogs, and we promise you’ll learn a new, eye-popping technique for field-prepping whole hogs.

Catch up on past seasons of many of these shows on MyOutdoorTV, Outdoor Sportsman Group’s number one streaming service.

Larry Weishuhn and Waddell Share the Story of Their First Turkey Hunt and More.

DENVER (January 28, 2026) – Hunter, Biologist, and Whitetail guru Larry Weishuhn joins Michael Waddell on the latest episode of The Michael Waddell Podcast, presented by Spandau Arms and in partnership with Folds of Honor, Cigars International and The Texas Trophy Hunters Association. The two old friends sit down and remember the good times they’ve shared in the field together and discuss Larry’s six decades in the business – mostly focused on whitetail deer – for which he’s affectionately known as “Mr. Whitetail.” Educated in wildlife science at what is now Texas A&M’s prestigious school of Rangeland, Wildlife & Fisheries Management, the native Texan has spent a lifetime in the field and has some very interesting things to say about some of the biggest concerns that deer and deer hunters face today.

The Michael Waddell Podcast is produced by Outdoor Sportsman Group and is available widely on Outdoor Channel YouTube, MyOutdoorTV, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and OutdoorChannel.com, to name a few.

In this episode, Larry Weishuhn talks about how he got his start as a biologist and wildlife manager, detailing his early experiences working statewide in Texas on their multi-species “wildlife disease project,” and later as a technical assistance biologist setting up management programs for ranchers and hunters throughout South Texas. This is where Larry – at risk of life and limb – was involved with conducting the very first low-level helicopter surveys for wildlife. His adventures in the field and passion for sharing those stories soon led to a job with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, and eventually to storied careers as both wildlife consultant and prolific outdoor communicator.

Between hilarious hunting stories and harrowing tales of helicopter misshaps during the early days of conducting aerial wildlife surveys, Larry Weishuhn and Michael Waddell take on a wide variety of subjects important to deer managers and hunters. From the fight to eradicate nasty deer parasites like New World screwworm flies and diseases like Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD)/Bluetongue and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), to adapting hunting approaches based on what trail cameras reveal about an individual deer’s unique traits, to managing habitat properly to benefit not only deer but all wildlife, there’s something here for everyone who cares about common-sense conservation.

For Larry, educating the public about hunters’ role in conservation, whether on public land or private, is more important than ever. “The bottom line is, hunters pay for conservation all the way through. Talking about landowners, because we’re willing to pay dollars to have access to his or her property to hunt, guess what, now they’re paying attention to the habitat, they’re paying attention to the welfare of the animals out there, because it is an economic base.”

Larry Weishuhn is also a uniter in the hunting community. When it comes to what methods hunters prefer in the field, his message is crystal clear – stop the in-fighting. “Hey, Guys, we’re all in this together. As long as it’s legal. Ethics is something that everyone controls within themselves. What’s ethical to me may not be ethical to somebody else; but as long as it’s legal, I don’t care what someone hunts with, whether they hunt with dogs, hunt over bait, hunt with a spear, I don’t care how you hunt. We’re all in this together!”

“It was wonderful to be able to sit down once again with Larry Weishuhn and tap into what I call his ‘country boy wisdom’ regarding some very complicated deer management questions,” said Waddell. “One thing I’ve always admired about Larry is his uncanny ability to combine his impressive knowledge of wildlife science with his incredible experience in the field, to explain serious deer science to regular folks in layman’s terms. I’m one of his biggest fans!”

The Michael Waddell Podcast releases new episodes every other week.

Waddell’s story began in the backwoods of Booger Bottom, Georgia, where he grew up surrounded by nature, family, and a love for the outdoors. A self-proclaimed “rowdy redneck,” his passion for hunting and storytelling led him to win a Realtree turkey-calling contest, which launched his career in the outdoor industry. From guiding and filming hunts to creating hit shows like Realtree Road Trips and Bone Collector, Waddell has become a beloved figure in the outdoor world.
