Hmm - a Federal judge "should" only have jurisdiction in the state he is located in? Over Federal land? Riiiiiiiight.

I finally got a computer and connection fast enough to watch the “On your own” sizzle reel.
Great stuff randy. I can think of a few “Hunt Talkers” who are gonna be stars !
I think the show will be a big hit. There’s a few people back east that need an education as to how much physical work is involved in the average western hunt. Consider it a public service
Don’t worry about making too much money off the peoples land and game, when your own personal bank vault starts overflowing you can always store a couple million at my house.

Big fin,
I really enjoyed the film. Thanks for the trailer-I'm hooked!
If you ever need to film in Idaho I'd like to tag along.
I'm alright with pay for play, heck I'm even ok with NEEDED subsidies and MINIMAL entitlements.
I don't pay 1966 prices for steaks but a rancher gets to pay '66 prices to produce it? That's crap!
Yes, I have family(whom I love) that farms and ranches.
I hope you succeed it this endeavor no matter how you measure succes.

Most of the same people who complain about cows grazing on public land are the same people who complain about fires "devestating" their hunting grounds...
I suppose the only thing most people have in their lives is to complain, mostly about issues that hurt their feelings but honestly have no real time or energy invested except lip service...

The video preview looks great!! Terrific storyline and fantastic footage. There also seems to be good camera presense. Raw emotion is another great quality that I saw in a few of the clips. Can't wait to see it on the OC.
You guys are a good test sample. Here are the air times, all times Eastern.
Fridays - 1:30 PM and Midnight
Sundays - 5:00 PM
If you don't get the Outdoor Channel, well.......then get it. Here is a link where you can subscribe, if you don't already. http://www.outdoorchannel.com/GetOutdoorChannel.aspx
And for those of you non-TV types, our agreement allows us to start streaming the full episodes in early December. For obvious reasons, we need to wait until everyone has seen them on OC.
First airing will be Friday July 3rd. It will be the Wyoming elk episode. All of you got to read that story, and now you will get to see it unfold in front of the cameras.
I hope you find it to be enjoyable. Here is the link to the original story, as I posted it here. http://www.hunttalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36521
We will be making much bigger announcements in the next few weeks.
Pretty soon Outdoor Channel will have their site updated with all our stuff. It will have a link to here, so be nice to any new guys who come here looking to see what all these crazy Hunttalkers are up to.
Hey Moosie, 'spose those other sites ever thought your site would have a TV show?

Can hardly wait, Congrats. I will spread the word around these parts!
The last week of June, they (OC) will start promoting the new shows. We will have some 3 minute previews of each episode on the site. But, they will be teasers. Can't show all the goods, or no one will watch it on the tube.

You guys are gonna be very interested to hear who the sponsors are. Not because they are anything out of the normal realm of TV show sponsors, but the fact that they stuck their necks out in difficult economic times and took a risk on a new show. And they did it because they want to show their support for the average guy who represents the majority of their customers.
If I was to paraphrase the most common comment these sponsoring companies have had, it would be this.
The companies who "get it" are excited to finally have a chance to connect with average hunters. They understand who is the driving force in the future of hunting, and want to be part of it.
It is very rewarding when some of the biggest players in the industry look at this and sign on because they connect with the message. They want to support you and your hunting.
Unfortunately, many sponsors have had responses such as:
Who knows, maybe they are correct, but the data doesn't say that.
A common thread among all sponsors is this. American-based companies have a tendency to have hunters from top to bottom within the organization. These companies understand what this show is about. Even though many in these companies are invited on guided hunts, when it comes time to hunt for their own pleasure, it is non-guided On Your Own hunting.
The foreign-based companies seem to have a much higher percentage of non-hunters in many of the important positions that influence their marketing strategies. Though most of them don't hunt, these folks are very sharp and understand marketing. But, they don't understand the distinction between types of hunting, such as guided and non-guided. To them, hunting is hunting. That is frustrating, but a reality of the business world, and another part of why we see what we see on TV.
Every major company in the hunting industry was given an opportunity to be involved in the show, and many at amazing discounts, if they would sign long-term deals. Some will be conspicuous in the absence, given what concession we offerred to try get them on board.
Some are still working to find a way to release themselves of other agreements and sign on to our show. We will continue to work hard to find ways that allow those who understand the message to be associated with it.
For most, it does not come down to money, but to what hunting message they want to be associated with, or are willing to be associated with.
We are a new show, and I don't expect miracles, or people to give me any type of special treatment. Anyone who has tried to sell a new concept, in a market like this, knows that special treatment is not part of the deal. The hardest part of this entire endeavor has been trying to sell the show.
I hope when you see the sponsors, you support them as much as possible, as they are all taking a risk on a new show, a new concept, and the notion that non-guided hunting is what constitutes reality for most Americans. Many are taking this risk against the advice of their outside ad agencies. I will do everything in my power to reward them for supporting the notion of the average guy, and I hope our viewers will do the same.
