In addition to the upcoming Hunt.Fish.Feed. event (AUG 4, mark your calendars!), I meant to include a couple of other things that are going on that should be of interest to some of you.

First, Albert Rasch, despite dodging rocket attacks in Afghanistan, is doing his annual part to promote the National Hunting and Fishing Day, on September 25.  You can read much more about it over on his blog, but I wanted to pass it along here as well.  Albert is planning to do a series of posts on things you can do to celebrate, and why it’s important. 

With National Hunting and Fishing Day on my mind, I am going to have several posts concentrating on tips and ideas that you can use to help celebrate our sporting heritage.

I urge everyone to do something along the way and especially on the 25th to further our mutual love for the outdoors. It can be something as simple as taking someone who has never fished out on a shoreline, lake, or pond, to perhaps giving a talk to school children on the conservation and preservation work that outdoor sportsmen do for the benefit of all.

Remember, it is all up to us to do what we can, because even the smallest thing you do, pays off in huge dividends!

On another, more commercial front, I got a notice from the folks at Discovery Channel regarding casting call for the new season of Out of the Wild.  I didn’t see the first season, which took place in Alaska, but apparently the idea is to take a group of people from various walks of life, dump them in the wilderness with some basic instructions and objectives, and then film the results.  I heard mixed reviews, but a lot of folks did seem to enjoy the last show. 

Anyway, the new show will be set in South America (pretty cool, huh?), and is casting now.  The reason they contacted me (and probably some other outdoors oriented blogs) was because they’d like to find a hunter or two for the group.  I believe that subsistence/survival hunting was part of the program last time, and I’m guessing it’ll have a place in this new season as well. 

You can find out more about the show and the opportunity at the production company website.  Read the information carefully, and if you think it’s something you want to try, then by all means!  And even better, if you do get involved, I’d love to hear about your experiences and follow them here on the Hog Blog. 

OK, time for me to go to work!
