Leupold's Pigman: The Series Takes Two at Sportsman Choice Awards

Grosebeck, TX (January 30, 2015) - Leupold's Pigman: The Series and host, Brian "Pigman" Quaca, brought home TWO awards from Sportsman Channel's 2014 Sportsman Choice Awards last week during the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas.

Leupold's Pigman: The Series brought home "Best Hunting Show" and Brian Quaca earned his FOURTH "Best Host" title from viewers.

"The viewers have spoken and it's quite clear that Leupold's Pigman: The Series is not going anywhere anytime soon," said Brian, "Pigman" Quaca. "The entire Pig Crew is proud of our accomplishments over the last six seasons - and the fact that I've been awarded the 'Best Host' title four times out of the last five years is incredibly humbling."

The collective voice of American sportsmen and women from coast to coast was heard as more than 293,000 votes were cast in 11 different categories, setting an all-time record for Sportsman Choice Award viewer voting.
"2014 was a significant year for the network's growth and its exceptional producers," said Marc Fein, executive vice president of programming and production. "There was a good mix of first-time and returning winners and that really speaks to the depth of our talent and where the network is heading. All of the winners and finalists should be proud of their accomplishments."

While 2014 propelled Pigman into the spotlight with his 100th episode in October and a new series debuted in the spring to the masses, he stayed grounded. "I wanted to do the big network thing and I learned really quick it didn't work. I'm too edgy and rough around the edges. They didn't like my viewers because you guys want to see hunting, so that's why season six is staying on Sportsman Channel," said Quaca. "But I'm bringing my 'A' team of production to Sportsman Channel so the blood and guts is coming to you in high definition - clearer and crisper than you've ever been before."

Celebrating 500 kills in five seasons, Pigman is ready to make season six the best yet. On this Sunday's episode, the Shankmaster heads to Johannesburg for a three-part series in Africa chasing kudu, nyalas and of course, bush pigs.
