Portsmouth, NH – This week on Addicted to the Outdoors, Jon and Gina Brunson travel to Bushnell, Florida to hunt with Greg Lovett of Gotta Lovett Outdoors. Good friend Brad Miller meets up with them, and the group hunts hard for hogs and turkeys, and enjoys some intense bow- fishing action, too. Tune in to the Outdoor Channel Sunday at 6:00 p.m. EST and check out this exciting hunt!

Show Concept

Join Jon and Gina Brunson on their reality-based outdoor show as they travel the world chasing big game. In 2007, Jon and Gina packed their six children into an RV for a Florida to South Dakota road trip and whitetail hunt. It was the first show for their newest venture, Addicted to the Outdoors (ATTO), which features a revolutionary format that takes viewers along with them as they pursue all sorts of game. Choosing a name for the new show was easy, since Jon, Gina and their children are all Addicted to the Outdoors. Are they living the dream? Yes, their particular dream, where a man, his wife and their children together explore those wandering streams and forested trails of the outdoors.

If you are like most Florida anglers and boaters,  you enjoy your time on the water; it’s an opportunity to get close to nature and break the routine of work, school or retirement. The peaceful challenge of trying to find, attract and catch your piscatorial prey is made possible, in part, by the scientific management and conservation laws that sustain sport fish populations. The goal is for everyone to be able to share in the pleasure and  to provide a sustainable harvest.

So when you see someone threatening those resources by damaging habitat, polluting the water, harvesting fish illegally (using illegal gear, taking more than their bag limit or keeping undersized fish), you probably wish you could do something.  Well you can. The Wildlife Alert Reward Program has helped the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) catch thousands of violators through phone calls people make to 888-404-FWCC (3922) or when they  simply dial *FWC or #FWC (depending on service provider). Violations can also be anonymously reported online (MyFWC.com/WildlifeAlert).

Now, conscientous anglers and boaters can also text: Tip@MyFWC.com (standard usage fees may apply). “The text messaging option makes it more convenient for the public,” said Col. Jim Brown, director of the FWC’s Division of Law Enforcement. “We also hope it will make Wildlife Alert even more effective in catching poachers and other violators.”

The highly successful Wildlife Alert Reward Program has been around for more than 30 years. When people’s information results in an arrest, they may become eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Many conservation-minded people don’t even claim the award because having helped get the violators off the water or saved a life by reporting unsafe boaters, including boating under the influence, is award enough.

Being able to do so quickly and efficiently is crucial. Cell phones and now texting help get information to a conservation officer while the potential crime is still ongoing. When submitting information via text message, it is important to include as much information as possible, such as the specific violation and the location. Once a report is initiated, FWC dispatch has the ability to respond via text message to the reporting party to gather additional details.

The Wildlife Alert Program is administered by a 13-member committee appointed by the FWC’s executive director. The committee meets at least twice a year, oversees the program and determines the reward amounts. There are two members for each of the FWC’s five geographic regions, and one member each representing Audubon of Florida, Florida Wildlife Federation and Unified Sportsmen of Florida. Each member serves a two-year term and may be reappointed by the executive director.

Here is how Wildlife Alert works. When someone knows of, or suspects a violation, they should report it immediately. Information such as the physical descriptions of violators and vehicles, license tag numbers, locations, etc., are important to ensure an officer can respond appropriately. Callers and online reporters may remain anonymous; they do not have to provide their names or email addresses, and they will not be required to testify in court. A confidential code number is required to be eligible for a reward, they are attained by texting, emailing or calling 1-888-404-FWCC. Trained dispatchers handle Wildlife Alert contacts 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Rewards range from $25 for no fishing or hunting license, to $1,000 for commercial trafficking of wildlife or killing an endangered or threatened species. Someone who reports a boater operating a vessel while under the influence could get $250.

The real beauty of the program is that violators – through court fines – are the ones who pay the reward money. When a violator is found guilty, the judge can require a portion of the fine be paid into the Wildlife Alert Reward Fund. That money is then used to pay rewards. So in effect, violators are paying people to turn them in.

The Wildlife Alert Reward Program is administered by the Wildlife Alert Reward Association, a non-profit, 501 (C)(3) created in 1979. Association members promote the program and raise private, tax-deductible, charitable donations to supplement the funds received through fines. To donate to the program send a check to: Wildlife Alert Reward Program, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 620 S. Meridian St., Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600.

Protecting fish, wildlife and ourselves is everyone’s responsibility. Reporting those who misuse our wildlife resources or endanger lives by operating vessels while intoxicated is one way we can all help. Through Wildlife Alert and these other programs, ordinary people become the eyes and ears of the FWC, keep costs down, help conserve our resources and keep outdoor enthusiasts safe.

The Easton-Newberry Sports Complex and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission kicked off the first Easton Foundations Hunting Expo with a bang last Saturday, playing host to beaucoup vendors, a huge turnout and enough activities and entertainment to last the whole weekend. The show provided a variety of treats for guests of all ages, including live music, excellent food, hands-on archery activities, and games like catfish lassoing, just to name a few.

Doors opened the morning of Saturday, August 27th and the event continued through to the following Sunday. Companies from all realms of hunting and shooting arrived the night before to begin setting up their various displays throughout the gymnasium and air-conditioned indoor archery range, while food vendors, musicians and other industry professionals opened up shop outside near the 90-meter outdoor range.

Guests came in droves early Saturday morning and on through Sunday, about 2,500 by weekends’ end. 93.7 K-Country entertained the masses early on Saturday.

In the afternoon, guests enjoyed barbeque ribs and cheeseburgers while listening to Bryce Carlisle and his band play both originals and classic country favorites, while others stayed cool with iced drinks and lemonade and spoke one-on-one with The Season’s Justin Martin.

The University of Florida Department of Wildlife Management and Ecology was on hand to entertain youngsters with Kid Crafts and even brought a live baby alligator for display and, for those brave enough, to touch. Some brought whitetail mounts from past hunts for official scoring by Pope & Young, who provided legitimacy for the bragging rights of many a happy hunter.

Thousands of dollars in prizes were given away to dozens of lucky raffle winners. Among the prizes included a total of nine bows donated by Hoyt, Mathews, Bear, and Deer Camp. Hog Hunts were donated by both the Ross Hammock Ranch and Tiger Island and a Bow Fishing Charter was generously donated by Florida Bow Fishing. Other prizes included a Muzzy Pro-Extreme Bow Fishing Kit & X-Celerator Drop-away Arrow Rest, One-Year Memberships to the Easton-Newberry Sports Complex, Easton Broad-head Arrows, and many other items including hats, shirts, animal calls, and books.

A handful of local hunters earned their Bow Hunter’s Safety Certification from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, who hosted a training class and shoot on Saturday morning. Newberry 3d Club took registrations and provided scoring for the 30-target 3-d range assembled along the West side of the property on Saturday, while others enjoyed a casual shoot on the remaining 10-target range the following Sunday. Those who participated in the 3-d shoot were also entered into a raffle for a 3-d buck giveaway donated by Lancaster Archery.

Easton Foundations’ very own Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) team was available throughout the weekend for demonstration and to introduce the world of competitive archery with a booth in the indoor range and a casual shoot outside, while the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) held a friendly competition on the outdoor range. Future archers and ambitious guests tried their hand at the Try Archery Tent, headed by the facility’s own JOAD member and recent National Champion, Ryan Oliver.

The Easton-Newberry Sports Complex would like to thank Country Kitchen, Spring Hill Suites, Pawn Pro Shop, Residence Inn, and all vendors and guests who helped make the first annual Easton Foundations Hunting Expo an overwhelming success. Easton Foundations looks forward to repeating the event next year and encourages all to check out the many events planned in the meantime.

The Easton Newberry Sports Complex was developed by Easton Foundations and the City of Newberry. The facility opened in 2009 and is dedicated to furthering the sport and introducing archery to a broader audience. The complex has a wide variety of target and 3D archery ranges. The portion of the site dedicated to archery caters to all skill levels and features state-of-the-art indoor & outdoor styles of archery.

Easton Newberry Sports Complex and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have teamed up to host the first annual Easton Foundations Hunting Expo the weekend of Aug. 27th & 28th.

Hunters and archers alike are encouraged to bring their bows and try their hand at the challenging, yet fun 3D range. There will be 30 lanes in total, with a variety of animals including white-tailed deer, bear, boar and even some exotic animals such as hyena and cheetah.

Future hunters may take the bow hunter’s education course while at the expo Saturday. Those interested in the course must bring their own equipment and pre-register with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (MyFWC.com/Bowhunt). The course will begin at 8 a.m. and end around noon.

There will be raffles, prizes and giveaways every hour. Prizes include T-shirts, sights, bows, arrows and much more. One lucky winner will take home a Hoyt Carbon Element Bow valued at well over $1000.

The main goals of the Hunting Expo are to develop competitive archery efforts through Easton Newberry Sports Complex, and to grow the sport of archery as a whole.

“Our main objective for the Easton Foundations Hunting Expo is to reach the large market of hunters in the surrounding areas by introducing them to what we have to offer at ENSC,” said Brandie Lovelace, Operations Director of the Easton Newberry Archery Center.

“The hunting seasons are highly defined in Florida, and we hope to draw in all types of hunters to our expo by inviting gun vendors in order to have something for everyone,” she continued.

The event will be held at the Easton Newberry Sports Complex, about a mile North of the intersection of SR 26 & Route 27/41 in Newberry, Fla, just off Route 27/41.

Guests from out-of-town may enjoy discounted rates at SpringHill Suites by Marriott, located just off of Interstate 75 at the Archer Road Exit.

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. – Concerns over increasingly confusing and restrictive gun laws along with the common bond firearms create among shooters and hunters across the entire spectrum of outdoor sports appears to be a driving force in why so many people are members of the National Rifle Association (NRA). In a recent survey conducted as part of Southwick Associate’s monthly Hunter Survey, more active hunters and shooters claim membership in the NRA than any other organization.

The organization that received the next highest nod was the North American Hunting Club, while the dedicated conservation organization that received the next highest membership claim was Ducks Unlimited. The National Wild Turkey Federation and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation were next, respectively. The survey findings basically mirror each group’s actual reported membership with the NRA claiming as many as 4.3 million members, while the NAHC has more than 850,000 and Ducks Unlimited close to 780,000.

“Involvement and unity has been the silver lining to all the political and conservation issues faced by hunters and shooters. No other recreational group can claim to be as organized and effective as sportsmen and women in defending their freedoms and rights,” said Rob Southwick, president of Southwick Associates, which designs and conducts the surveys at HunterSurvey.com, ShooterSurvey.com and AnglerSurvey.com.

Southwick also pointed out that it is impressive to see so many people maintaining their membership across such a broad array of conservation groups, particularly given these tough economic times.

To help the sportsmen’s community continually improve, defend and advance this treasured way of life, hunters and shooters are encouraged to participate in the surveys conducted on HunterSurvey.com, ShooterSurvey.com and AnglerSurvey.com. Each month, participants who complete the survey are entered into a drawing for one of five $100 gift certificates to the sporting goods retailer of their choice.

About AnglerSurvey.com and HunterSurvey.com: Launched in 2006, AnglerSurvey.com and HunterSurvey.com help the outdoor equipment industry, government fisheries and wildlife officials and conservation organizations track consumer activities and expenditure trends. The information above represents only a small sample of the vast amount of data collected from the complete survey results and available to government agencies, businesses, the media and other interested parties. Results are scientifically analyzed to reflect the attitudes and habits of anglers and hunters across the United States.

New Berlin, Wisconsin- God, Country and Family are words of deep meaning to recently retired U.S. Special Forces Green Beret, Greg Stube, in his premiere series, Coming Home with Greg Stube on Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman. The memorable series debuts on June 29 and celebrates Americans through hunting and fishing adventures from King Salmon fishing in Alaska, to big game hunting in the Western states. The premiere season of Coming Home with Greg Stube debuts on Wednesday, June 29 at 7 am with re-airs on Thursdays at 1 pm and Sundays at 11 am ET.

“Greg has a unique and rare ability to bring out the raw emotions of how Americans exercise their freedoms in the outdoors,” said Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel. “The values and ethics that are gained through the outdoor activities are the core focus of his show; no one brings this to light better than Greg.”

Coming Home with Greg Stube takes viewers on adventures ranging from King Salmon on the Kenai River in Alaska to catching mammoth catfish in South Carolina and bowhunting elk in Montana to harvesting Florida gators with a crossbow. Stube’s easy going personality takes the focus off him and places the spotlight on the experts, guides, outfitters and local law enforcement. The overriding mission of each episode is to educate, entertain and inform.

“I want to draw special attention to the areas and the people where we’re hunting and fishing,” said Greg Stube. “The very act of ‘Coming Home’ has a very unique and personal meaning to each and every one of us, which is why we believe everyone who tunes into the show will take away something different.”

During each episode, Stube reveals lessons learned as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, even from the battlefield where he served his country.

Stube tells his followers he should not be alive. The injuries this Green Beret sustained in Afghanistan in 2006′s “Operation Medusa” were critical. An IED detonated as he and his team was engaged with Taliban forces as they attempted to retake Kandahar. The bomb blast blew his boot off, and splinters of bone pricked through his pants. A one-pound piece of shrapnel pierced Stube’s hip and went into his abdomen. Today, he takes his life lessons on the road as a motivational speaker.

Today, Stube lives and operates out of Fayetteville, NC, which is the home of the Army Airborne and Special Operations. Stube is proud to share that TIME Magazine once called Fayetteville the most patriotic city in America. “Soldiers have been ‘coming home’ to Fayetteville since WWII, and I’m proud to call this city my home,” he said.
