Outdoor Quest Captures Top Honours


Outdoor Quest Captures Top Honours

Episode #17, from the 2009 series of Outdoor Quest TV, just captured top honours for the best Outdoor Television/Video Production in the 2010 Outdoor Writers of Canada National Communication Awards. These prestigious national awards recognize the best in outdoor print and electronic media across the country and this was the first time a hunting program has won first place in the Television/Video category. Second place went to Dave Mercer’s The Facts of Fishing and third place was awarded to Bob Izumi’s Real Fishing TV.

Episode #17 aired on Wild TV and documented T.J. Schwanky and Vanessa Harrop’s journey to Namibia to hunt plains game. “It is a real honour to take home first place in a category that featured some stiff competition,” Schwanky said at the Award’s evening held June 19, 2010 in Whitehorse, Yukon.

This award demonstrates the popularity of hunting in Canada and the importance of national broadcasters like Wild TV.
