Benny Spies brings several distinct traits to outdoor television. They begin with the perfect blend of persistence, perseverance, natural humor and a personality as big as his Winnebago. And his new season of Gun It with Benny Spies is back and bigger than ever on Sunday, September 21 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on Sportsman Channel.

Sharing his passions for the great outdoors and giving viewers an honest representation of how the majority of Americans truly hunt and fish is paramount for Spies’ mission. Spies’ outdoor journey takes viewers from his home in Watertown, South Dakota to Maine, Wyoming and more for the most authentic hunting, fishing and cooking adventures – all in the “luxurious” comforts of a 1973 Winnebago, aptly named “Toaster.”
Benny Spies is as real as it gets and he takes his no frills hunting and fishing adventures across America in his Winnebago “Toaster” and his 1965 Chevelle (“The Secret Weapon”). Both vehicles offer an abundance of stories that will leave viewers entertained and laughing out loud. Spies is a unique character, but also very serious about hunting and fishing. Whether it’s hog hunting in Texas or black bear hunting in Montana, the mission remains the same – have fun and keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
“This season is truly a stand-out for me because everything was under my direction,” said Spies. “I show viewers the way I was taught; getting dirty, pulling the trigger and having fun with friends and people I meet throughout my travels. It is never about ‘bagging the biggest buck’ or fishing sweet honey holes. – At the end of the day, I ask myself – ‘Did I have a good time? Did my friends have a good time?’ If yes, then it was a good day.”
The opening episode, titled “Benny Pukes on his Cousin’s Jeans,” has Spies and the gang in a race against time to complete the South Dakota Triple Crown. With only 24 hours to shoot four limits of birds and catch two limits of fish, there’s a lot on the line. Adding to the stress, his buddies at the local bar have issued a pickled challenge, so it’s up to Benny to complete the tasks at hand before his time runs out.
