First 500 Voters to Receive Free Gift; All Voters Eligible for $1000 Prize Pack

The way Sportsman Channel sees it, the ultimate judges of hunt, shoot and fish programming are the viewers who make those activities the foundations of their lifestyle. And beginning today, those viewers will begin the process of deciding which shows and hosts will take home top honors in the 2009 Sportsman Choice Awards. All shows and show hosts airing on the network in 2009 are eligible for voting by viewers at www.votesportsman.com. The categories are: Best Hunt Show, Best Shoot Show, Best Fish Show, Best Combination (hunting and fishing) Show and Best Show Host(s).

Sportsman Choice Awards

The first voting round runs through November 19, when the top five vote-getters in each category will qualify for a final round of viewer voting. The winners in all Sportsman Choice Award categories will be crowned in January during the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas.

“There’s no better academy than our viewers, the American sportsmen, to choose the finest in award-winning hunt, shoot, fish programming,” said Todd D. Hansen, Sr. Vice President Sportsman Channel.

As an added bonus, the first 500 voters will receive a Sportsman Channel hat, and all voters will be entered to win a $1000 prize pack, which includes a $500 Cabela’s gift card and merchandise from Sportsman Channel and Cabela’s.

Last year’s highest vote-getters included the network’s first female show host winner: Haley Heath of “Family Traditions with Haley Heath” received Viewer Favorite Personality. Heath said she hopes to duplicate it again this year. “I was thrilled when they called my name for the award last year and it’s great knowing your fans are behind you 100 percent. I am feeling really good going into this year’s nominations,” said Heath.
