The hosts are truly obsessed with bowhunting for big whitetail. These three friends credit their accomplishments in the tree stand to their many years of experience afield. “Never stop Learning” is the mantra behind their success in harvesting fair chase trophy class whitetails.
“Sportsman Channel has shown itself over and over again as THE place to see top talent and personalities,” said Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel. “Major League Bowhunter will not only showcase experienced bowhunters, but it will also feature the exceptional hunting talents of Danker, Duff and Jones in a way their fans haven’t seen before.”
The three hosts have joined forces to share the love of the outdoors with an edgy, unique way by capturing video using “out of body experiences.”
“The video we incorporate is a first for our industry called ‘time stops,'” explained Danker. “We use these time stops to literally stop the hunt so we can show you why we chose the particular stand/setup and explain to the viewer how we got there. Then, we move forward to show the hits, and misses, of every encounter. We are sharing with our viewers in a way they can apply the next time they hit the woods, regardless of where they hunt.”
Major League Bowhunter is a raw portrayal of events that will show everything from accurate footage to misses and perfect shots – not to mention true emotion.
“When we originally thought of the idea of this show, we wanted to make sure the authenticity of Major League Bowhunter was powerful in every episode,” said Jones. “We were determined to make unique shows and focus on every little detail, including the logo. When you combine guys like Danker and Duff with great hunting environments, it makes for truly memorable episodes.”
