Engel’s Outdoor Experience is the hunting show for the passionate hunter. Hunting is more than just pulling the trigger – it is an experience involving skill, strategy, an understanding and respect for nature, and camaraderie. Our goal is to give the viewer the complete hunting and outdoor experience.
We bring the whole experience to the screen through award winning cinematography, knowledgeable and relevant guests, exotic locations, and professionally written scripts. The show teaches the viewer about the game being hunted, the technology and equipment being used, as well as the hunting techniques and strategies that will lead to a successful hunt
With hunts that range from pheasants to Botswana Cape Buffalo, Engel’s Outdoor Experience is the perfect venue to showcase and demonstrate a wide array of hunting equipment and accessories. Past shows have featured Jeff hunting with rifle, shotgun, archery, black powder and pistol. In addition his wife Sherol, an outstanding wing shooter, often joins him in the field providing a natural marketing avenue to the female hunter.
Outdoor Channel has recognized Engel’s Outdoor Experience as one of the top five TV shows for: Best Camerawork, Best Editing, Most Informative, Best Waterfowl, Best Turkey and Best Big Game. This is a true testament to the dedication, preparation, and quality that go into the production of each episode.
