LUVERNE, AL – The Pursuit Channel is excited to announce the addition of Ted Nugent Tooth, Fang & Claw TV to its ever-expanding 2010 programming line-up. While widely acclaimed as an American guitar hero, it’s Nugent’s work with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and lifelong advocacy for hunting that have earned him the respect of outdoorsmen around the globe. To Nugent, hunting is not just a sport; it is a way of life.

“Ted Nugent Tooth, Fang & Claw TV documents and delivers the way the Nugent family and millions of American families live in this amazing hunting lifestyle – real, raw, intense and pure,” said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Channel. “Ted Nugent is one of the most recognized advocates of hunting and the outdoor lifestyle. He will be a perfect fit for Pursuit.”

“I am not satisfied simply living the good, honest outdoor lifestyle,” said Nugent. “I am driven to promote and celebrate it with all the energy and power that I possibly can. Tooth, Fang and Claw TV enthuses honest conservationists to get more involved, and its passion and intensity recruits new enthusiasts.”

Nugent joins a number of other outdoor television producers that have moved programming to Pursuit starting January 2010. Mossy Oak recently announced its commitment of resources to branded, destination blocks of programming, anchored by their award-winning, popular programs. The National Wild Turkey Federation, Quality Deer Management Association, Alan Warren, Keith Warren, Hank Parker, Roger Raglin and others have since made the move.

“The Nugent family is thrilled to turn up the heat in our promotion and celebration of our cherished hunting lifestyle by joining our Mossy Oak BloodBrothers on the world class Pursuit Channel with our new Tooth, Fang & Claw TV show,” said Nugent. “We don’t just produce TV shows; we document the way real Americans hunt, fish, trap and shoot.”

Pursuit Channel is the only outdoor network delivered in satellite provider DIRECTV’s BASIC package, channels received by every subscriber regardless of their level of service. With a solid, growing portfolio of cable and high power TV stations in their stable as well, the network is on track to reach more than 26 million households sometime next year.

John Frank Receives 2009 Mossy Oak Passion Award

WEST POINT, MS – John Frank was awarded the Mossy Oak Passion Award at the Drury Outdoors annual production meeting in St. Louis, Missouri on September 18 and 19.

Each year, Drury TV Producers from all over the country gather for meetings and an annual awards banquet. Last year, Mossy Oak was honored to participate in the banquet and present the Mossy Oak Passion Award to Steve “Coon Dog” Coon. Continuing the tradition this year, Mossy Oak recognized John Frank.

“The Passion Award is given to an individual that exhibits passion for the outdoors, who always works to their fullest capacity and with great excitement, and strives unselfishly to be the best at what they do,” said Ben Maki, Vice President of Marketing for Mossy Oak. “It’s not about taking trophy animals and having a successful hunt every time they step in the field or get behind the camera. It’s about passion for the outdoors, respect for Mother Nature and unwavering energy in everything they do.”

Frank is from Richland, Iowa where he owns his own flooring company. He has two children. Frank’s hobbies include photography, videography and Harley Davidsons. He enjoys hunting caribou, turkey and whitetail.

According to Frank, “Hunting with my grandfather from age 12 provided the beginning of my hunting interests. My love for the sport has branched from well-trained hunting dogs flushing ringnecks to the gobble of a mature tom on a cool spring morning. In the last decade, my hunting sights have evolved further to include the elusive P&Y class whitetail deer. Photographing buck in velvet combined with shed antler hunting helps me to pattern mature bucks. In the future, I’d like to harvest an elk with a bow.

“Recently, my son started hunting and I love to film him learning to hunt and discovering all the outdoors has to offer,” he added.

New Pipeline Delivers Water to Arizona Elk Country

MISSOULA, Mont.? Elk and other wildlife on the parched Arizona landscape now have six new, reliable watering sources thanks to a landmark pipeline project spearheaded by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

The partly buried 1½-inch pipe, 12 miles long, delivers useable wastewater from the City of Tusayan to areas south of the Grand Canyon?Arizona?s famous Unit 9 hunting area.

As part of this project, seven stand-alone water catchments also were built in the area.

The Elk Foundation expended $348,000 on this project using contributions from donors, proceeds from Arizona hunting permit raffles and grants from RMEF banquets and other fundraisers across the state. The Arizona Game and Fish Department provided $520,000. Other groups supported the project with volunteer labor and in-kind services.

Across the Southwest, water often is the missing ingredient for healthy habitat. In an average year, conservation agencies and organizations in Arizona annually spend over $100,000 hauling water into elk country. Severe drought can drive expenses way up.

?It took six years to design, facilitate and build this pipeline system but the valves are now open and water is flowing. From now on, in all but the most extreme drought years, we shouldn?t have to haul water into this region,? said Clair Harris, an RMEF member from Flagstaff, Ariz., who helped organize volunteer labor for the project.

Harris said more than 100 volunteers from every RMEF chapter in Arizona helped build the pipeline and catchments.

Over the years, RMEF funds and volunteers have been involved in the construction or renovation of over 30 watering sources across Unit 9. With the new additions, biologists agree the area now has a good minimum supply of water.

?Wildlife in this area is absolutely tied to these water developments and the new pipeline provides an efficient, reliable distribution system that will be beneficial for many species including elk, deer and other big game,? said John Goodwin, habitat specialist with the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Goodwin said the pipeline is supplied from a runoff pond at the Tusayan water treatment plant, supplemented with reclaimed effluent, snowmelt and rain. The pond is heavily used by local wildlife. A pump moves surplus water through high-density plastic pipe that won?t crush beneath vehicles, break from freezing or degrade in sunlight. The line is buried where soils are deep and runs along the surface where the ground is rocky. Water flows into six strategically located, fiberglass storage tanks averaging about 7,000 gallons each. Each tank is then connected to an auto-fill drinking device accessible to wildlife.

Stand-alone catchments are designed to collect rain and snowmelt on site, store water in 20,000-gallon holding tanks, and dispense water into drinkers.

The Kaibab National Forest approved the project after lengthy environmental analyses.

Goodwin credited the Elk Foundation and especially Harris as ?a tremendous asset for coordinating progress on the ground and rallying volunteer labor so the project didn?t have to rely on contractors or paid employees.?

3 Arrows…2 Robin Hoods….1 Shooter

Carbon Express® Pro Staff Shooter Scores a Rare Double Robin Hood

FLUSHING, Mich. A “Robin-Hooded” arrow is an accomplishment for any shooter and might occur once in a lifetime. A double Robin Hood on the other hand is an entirely different matter. A Robin Hood occurs when an arrow stuck in a target is literally pierced by a second arrow. For Carbon Express® Pro staff Shooter Bob Morgan, a practice round at the London Kentucky ASA shoot proved to be a once in a lifetime experience.

Saturday, May 30th 2009 — While practicing from 35 yards, Bob Morgan knocked an arrow and released. He then knocked another and felt good about the shot, but did not know he had robin-hooded his first arrow. The third arrow was a robin hood as well. Morgan new something unusual had happened as the arrows started to hang down from the target. Jokingly, his fellow shooters talked about shooting at the hanging arrow. It was only when they walked toward the target that they realized what an amazing phenomenon had taken place.

“I was surprised to say the least,” stated Bob Morgan, owner of Bobs Sporting Goods in Biscoe, N.C. “Three arrows and two Robin Hoods – I’ve been shooting for many years competitively, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this happen.”

Bob was shooting the Carbon Express Line Jammer 250’s when he accomplished the double Robin Hood. “The Carbon Express Line Jammer is the most accurate arrow I’ve ever shot, and my double Robin Hood is testament to the their quality. In all my years shooting archery, I’ve never found a better more consistent carbon arrow,” stated Morgan.

Carbon Express arrows have the most consistent spines in the industry. They are the only brand that laser sorts their premium target shafts guaranteeing consistent spine tolerance in every arrow. The Line Jammers that Bob was shooting have a straightness tolerance of +/- .0025” max. and a spine selection tolerance of +/-.002”

Carbon Express congratulates Bob on his remarkable double Robin Hood accomplishment.

Carbon Express is the leading manufacturer and supplier of high performance hunting and target arrows for the archery enthusiast world wide. For more information or customer service please visit www.carbonexpressarrows.com, or call 800.241.4833.
