American Gun Dog

American Gun Dog follows a young, die-hard hunter who travels the country to encounter legendary hunting lands and to meet some of the nation's top dogs and handlers.  American Gun Dog pushes the edge, shooting in the most wild and remote locations imaginable, and hunting the very best areas each species has to offer. 

“We try to push the threshold of the hunting story,” said Harley Jackson, host of American Gun Dog.  “We do different things.  We chase wild birds and prey that have not necessarily been filmed before, like chasing blue grouse at 10,000 feet.  It’s kind of hard-core as far as bird hunting goes.”

To add interest to more popular hunts, such as upland birds and waterfowl, the show uncovers rarely seen scenarios and locations.  In other cases, AGD films unique breeds and hunts, such as Appalachian Turkey Dogs for fall turkey hunting, Beagles on their chase for rabbits or French Britneys in the Arizona Desert.  In each situation, the show brings forth the unique regional flavors and traditions of each pursuit.

Inside USA Shooting

Most people have never heard of the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team. In reality, USA Shooting is expected (by USOC) to lead the way into the medal count in the Beijing Games next August. That fact was proven out in July when the Shooting Team won 20 medals at the 2007 Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro. Even more significant, 10 of those medals were gold medals!

Inside USA Shooting is a half-hour series that follows the efforts of this stellar group of individuals as they prepare to take China by storm in 2008. The Olympic shooting events are compromised of three disciplines: Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun, and together make up fifteen different events in the Games. Over the course of 18 episodes, Inside USA Shooting will follow the team to different competitions around the world and introduce America to the best in each discipline, as well as bright young stars in the shooting world. Viewers will meet veterans like Kim Rhode, already holding two Olympic Gold and a Bronze medal, fresh off a World Record performance in Women's International Skeet. She's joined by 18 year-old Vincent Hancock, World Champion and World Record Holder in Men's International Skeet. He's heading for his first Olympics, as young phenoms, Glenn Eller, Haley Dunn and Josh Richmond compete for the spotlight. In the rifle events, Gold Medalist Matt Emmons is dead on track for another medal in 2008, and is currently posting scores comparable to anyone in the world. What's really interesting is that, despite being among the best in the world at what they do, these people are modest, and all-around nice people, unlike many Olympic athletes these days.

Mike Smith is the host of Inside USA Shooting. A former television News Director and a 15-year veteran in the broadcasting business, Mike holds a masters degree in Film and Television from Syracuse University. Active in his community, Mike not only hosts Inside USA Shooting, but also does Oregon School sports and a Public affairs program on a regular basis. His drive and enthusiasm is the core of this program.

Episode 3: Colorado Springs, CO - "3x Air" Rifle/Pistol Events
In this show we cover the men's and women's 10-meter air rifle competitions, which determined who will represent the U.S.A. at the Pan American Games in Brazil. The men's event was noteworthy because the winner, 2004 Gold Medalist Matt Emmons, posted a three-day score which surpassed the "world class" level, and the women's event had a world-record tying single-round performance by Emily Caruso. Besides the events, we also have two in depth features, one on Matt Emmons – considered to be Top Three in the world - and one on Olympic hopeful Jamie Beyerle. Each of them ended up qualifying for the Pan Am team at this event.

Episode 4: Colorado Springs, CO - "3x Air" Rifle/Pistol Events
In this show we cover the men's and women's 10-meter air pistol competition, which determined who will represent the U.S.A. at the Pan American Games in Brazil. There are also two really interesting features in this show. The first is on Eric & Sandra Uptagraft, both members of the U.S.A. National Team. A few weeks after this event, Eric was scheduled to be deployed into Iraq, so we have a story about what it means to his Olympic Training and what it means to their relationship. The other feature is on Heather Deppe, one of the really bright stars of the future. She is only 16 but is already performing at world-class levels. We follow her to her home and talk with her family members to see how tight-knit they all are, and show how they were all willing to uproot from Texas and Minnesota to follow Heather to Colorado so she can train full time at the Olympic Training Center.

Episodes 5 & 6: Colorado Springs, CO - Olympic Trial Selection Competition - Shotgun
In these shows, we will watch what could become America's strongest Olympic Team in 2008 begin the section process for Beijing.

Also featured will be Haley Dunn and Connie Smotek. In the other episode, we cover the Trap and Double Traps teams, as they steadily hone their skills for 2008. Glenn Eller, Josh Richmond, and Shawn Dulohery lead an impressive cadre of shooters. These episodes are complete and delivered to the network. We'll also meet 21 year old Corey Cogdell, on her way to Cypress for the Shotgun World Championships.

Episode 7: Fort Benning, GA - World Cup – Rifle Events
In this show we follow the American men and women as they compete against the best in the world in the 10-meter event and the 3-position 50-meter events. With more than 60 countries and 500 competitors in attendance, the spectacle is intriguing. To make it even better, America places on the medal stand for both the women and men in the 10-meter, and two Americans make the final eight in the men's 3-position competition. This show also has an in-depth feature on another of the bright young stars of the U.S. Team – Amanda Furrer, a 16-year-old who is on track to be an Olympian by 2008. She's entertaining and charming and a good "face" of the US Team.

Episode 8: Fort Benning, GA - World Cup – Pistol Events
In this show we slide away a bit from straight "competition" and look at what it takes to host a world Cup. With so many foreign athletes coming to a military base, and each of them carrying weapons, the challenges of putting on this event are many. We also take the viewers on a tour of Fort Benning, the largest military post on American soil. As for competitions, we cover the men's and women's air pistol events, where Heather Deppe performs very well against the top women in the world, including the reigning World Record Holder, reigning World Champion and reigning Olympic Gold Medalist. And we cover the rapid-fire pistol events, where John Ennis finishes in the Top Ten.

Episodes 9 & 10: Belgrade, Serbia - World Cup Finals - Shotgun
Two episodes from Belgrade will really show what USA Shooting is made of. Expect one episode to be devoted to Skeet, and one to Trap & Double Trap. We will also update the profiles of our current leaders in each discipline.

Can Matt Emmons set a world record in a World Cup final in his home country? We think so. Will the rest of the rifle/pistol team have the stuff to secure an Olympic quota spot? We'll be there, and Outdoor Channel viewers will be the first to know.

Episodes 15 & 16: Colorado Springs, CO - Olympic Preview
We've watched the team get it together for the last year and a half, and we'll preview who's going, and what we can expect when they're there.

Episodes 17 & 18: Colorado Springs, CO - Olympic Preview
They went, they conquered, and they tell us about it. In two wrap-up specials, we'll list the results from the 2008 Games, demonstrate how the team did versus their expectations, and talk personally with key members of the team.

Jim Zumbo Outdoors
Jim focuses on the realities of hunting, with tips, techniques, & educational information about wildlife habits and behavior.

Offshore Adventures presented by Red Lobster

Offshore Adventures chronicles the journey of four young friends who left life on land behind to discover the world's oceans. Aboard the 72-foot vessel 'Go Fisch,' they fish the world's most legendary waters, breath-hold spearfish at extreme depths, and stop to explore local villages and coastlines. In each episode, a gourmet chef prepares the day's catch, creating mouthwatering delicacies fresh from the sea. This year Offshore Adventures will celebrate it's 5th year as one of the number one watched outdoor television shows in America.

Join husband-and-wife hosts Chris and Melissa Fischer as they team up with Captain Brett McBride and gourmet chef David Olson to tackle some of the most fertile fishing grounds in the world. "Offshore Adventures" goes further than any other outdoor show on the air. Their adventures take them to out-of-the-way fishing and free-diving spots throughout the Pacific Coast, sometimes 100 miles or more from shore. The real star of the show, however, is Mother Ocean.

"We have discovered such an incredible array of unpredictable beauty from orcas in Alaska to giant black marlin in Panama," said Chris Fischer, co-host of "Offshore Adventures" and CEO of Fischer Productions. "It's about discovery above the water, next to the water, below the water, and from a cultural standpoint, discovering the local flavor of these coastal communities."

In four years of filming this series, Offshore Adventures has traveled more than 20,000 miles on the open ocean. The camera follows the crew everywhere, from underwater dives to the preparation of the evening's gourmet meal to the moment 'the big one' gets away. The show features world-class free diving and spear fishing which highlights the overall theme - to fish responsibly and sustainably.

Trout Unlimited On The Rise

Trout Unlimited On The Rise is the next generation of TU television. Hosted by Colorado guide and increasingly notorious fly fishing media personality Frank Smethurst, OTR is one man's road journey in search of the most compelling coldwater fisheries in the country, along with the people who fight to protect them. Join Frank, an arsenal of fly rods, and a trout-skinned Airstream trailer on an insider's tour of American trout country.

Trout Unlimited On the Rise: 2008 Episode Descriptions

Show 1: Bighorn River, MT
After picking up his Airstream trailer in Missoula, Montana, Frank heads to a classic Western tailwater in the south-central part of the state. There's a big reason (or maybe several thousand reasons per mile) the Bighorn River is so high on so many fly fishing lists, and Frank won't rest until he finds it (them).

Show 2: Madison River, MT (1)
Begrudgingly leaving the Bighorn River behind, Frank heads for the Madison River, the famed "100-mile riffle" upstream of Ennis, Montana. Frank hooks up with an old fishing buddy, Michael Gibson of Montana Trout Unlimited, and together they go in search of a native Westslope cutthroat trout.

Show 3: Madison River, MT (2)
There are not many rivers that have bested Frank Smethurst in his career as a fly fisherman—but the Madison is one of them. In the effort to beat his Madison curse, Frank enlists the help of legendary streamer-fishing guru Kelly Galloup.

Show 4: Deschutes River, OR
The mighty "D," as the locals call it, is one of the most fabled steelhead rivers in the world. Frank goes after some summer-run chrome, and finds out about a salmon and steelhead recovery project that would fit right into the pages of a science-fiction novel.

Show 5: Metolius River, OR
Renowned for crystal-clear (and ice-cold) flows and gorgeous scenery, the Metolius River also harbors one of the only populations of bull trout healthy enough to allow sport fishing. These bulls also happen to grow huge—well in excess of 30 inches.

Show 6: South Fork Snake River, ID
It's not often you find trout advocates encouraging the harvesting of rainbows, but in the effort to keep Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout off the Endangered List that's exactly what Trout Unlimited is doing. Frank floats the stunning South Fork, and looks to fork himself a rainbow dinner.

Show 7: Rapid River, ID
One of Trout Unlimited's top priorities is to protect America's remaining roadless areas that harbor coldwater fisheries. One such place is Idaho's Rapid River, where Frank hooks up with TU's chief Idaho roadless advocate for a camping and fishing trip

Show 8: Big Lost River, ID (1)
The Big Lost is aptly named, as it flows through gaining and losing reaches throughout its length. Frank tries to solve the mystery of this place, and along the way finds a spring creek honey hole that produces rainbows that need to be seen to be believed.

Show 9: Big Lost River, ID (2)
One of TU's biggest concerns in the Big Lost watershed is the fate of the Big Lost mountain whitefish, an excellent indicator species to the health of the river. In a strange turn of events for a trout fisherman, Frank sets his sights on catching the elusive whitey.

Show 10: Gunnison River, CO
There is a mighty water war waging in the West, and the Gunnison River is the site of a recent victory by the forces of conservation. Frank visits his "home water" with an overnight trip through the Gunnison Gorge, in the peak of brown trout streamer season.

Show 11: Fraser River, CO
The Fraser River is a little gem of a high-valley river tucked away in north-central Colorado. But if the forces of Front Range development have their way, it could be decimated. Frank gets to the heart of what makes this little river so special.

Show 12: Chattooga River, GA
One of the South's most pristine and isolated (it's the river featured in the movie Deliverance) trout rivers, the Chattooga is a labor of love for the many TU members who nurture it. Frank takes a look at some of the ways they've got the Chattooga's back.

Show 13: South Holston/Watauga Rivers, TN
Most famous trout tailwaters are located in the West, but these two rivers prove that there's no western monopoly on tailwater greatness. Frank hooks up with some old fishing buddies for a full-on brown trout attack.

Show 14: Davidson River, NC
The last leg of Frank's tour of southern trout water lands on the Davidson River in western North Carolina. Frank gets a look at the inner workings of a TU Embrace-A-Stream grant, and stalks some uncomfortably large brown trout.

Show 15: Northern Ohio Steelhead
The Great Lakes steelhead fishery is a wonder of modern fisheries management, and the counties surrounding Cleveland, Ohio have recognized the value of securing and maintaining prime steelhead water so close to an urban area. Frank fishes some mighty small water for some mighty fine freshwater steelhead.

Ultimate Match Fishing
This unique, single-elimination invitational tournament will pit major professional anglers against each other—while fishing in the same boat! Anglers compete for a grand prize. Ultimate Match Fishing is emceed by Joe Thomas, host of Angler on Tour.
