E568 - The Future of Outdoor TV | Mitch Petrie, Outdoor Channel

Mitch Petrie joins Chad from a campsite in Wisconsin, and the two get into it. They talk Wisconsin versus Minnesota, the political tension Mitch has watched build at home, and the infighting that's been creeping into the hunting community, including Chad's response to Matt Rinella's Hunt Quietly podcast and the argument that outdoor TV has done more harm than good. Mitch breaks down where outdoor television actually stands right now: the audience, the numbers behind My Outdoor TV and Game and Fish TV, why linear isn't dead even if it's changed, and whether a new producer could ever build a show like The Fowl Life from the ground up today. Chad and Mitch close it out talking sheep tags, axis deer recipes, and nineteen seasons of The Fowl Life still going strong.

E567 - SCI Fowl Thoughts | This Is Why We Do It - Solo with Chad

Chad's got some thoughts. That's what this series is! Safari Club International's Fowl Thoughts! He starts where it all began. The toilet business. Portable units, job sites, construction managers, bid meetings. Learning customer service and communication and resilience and when to pump the brakes. Then a duck hunt with some buddies changed everything. From a duck mount on the wall of his toilet office called Strike Up the Band, of nine banded greenheads through flooded timber, to a phone call with a production company that fell through and started everything.. The blessing to go do it himself. And just like that, the dream was born. 18 seasons of Benelli's The Fowl Life on the Outdoor Channel. Year 15 with Benelli. Year 15 with Federal. Year 20 with Realtree. Year 20 with Mojo. All of it happened because of hard work, resilience, tenacity, and the people who showed up along the way. Chad talks about what this life has given him. The blinds, the musicians, the athletes, the military, the sick kids who got to hold a mallard for the first time. The moments that don't make the highlight reel but mean everything to him. Season 18 is getting ready to air. Season 19 starts filming in September, Banded Drake Ranch is growing, Seth Van Dover is playing the Silent Valor Project event at Caspians in Vegas on June 24th; There's a lot in motion!
