Saturday, June 19 at 7 p.m. Features Sportsman Channel “Father’s Day Marathon” Special –
The Old Bull – Followed by Sunday, June 20 on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV)
DENVER – When Auburn, New York native and current resident of Zanesville, Ohio, Nick Ventura visited his dying grandmother for the last time she had one simple request – “take your grandfather elk hunting at least one more time.” The story of that hunt – The Old Bull – will serve as the centerpiece of Sportsman Channel’s Father’s Day Marathon Special airing during the network’s salute to fathers on Saturday, June 19 beginning at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, June 20, the same programming will be made available on Outdoor Sportsman Group’s subscriber-based video-on-demand serviceMyOutdoorTV (MOTV).
The one-hour, limited commercial interrupted Father’s Day Special – The Old Bull – follows Ventura and his grandfather, Joe Mohan (74), as the group hunts elk in Colorado and attempts to bring back memories and a passion for elk hunting that Joe once lived as a young man. With his grandmother always on his mind, Nick fulfills his promise as the story unfolds.
“This is a touching story that viewers – especially fathers – will truly appreciate because of the commitment Nick made to his grandmother before she passed,” Outdoor Sportsman Group Vice President of Programming Mitch Petrie explained. “Sportsman Channel’s ‘Father’s Day Marathon’ programming block will feature fathers, sons, daughters and significant others all enjoying and celebrating the outdoors.”
Ventura, along with partner Tom Petry, also hosts Sportsman Channel show – Become 1 – airing on Mondays at 9 p.m. The hosts tell quality stories that all hunters can relate to, while taking viewers on hunts across the country for big game, deer, turkey and more.
