New Predator Hunting Series "Dead Dog Walkin" Premiers on Sportsman Channel

March 24, 2011 Fresh off the success of his first two seasons of The Fowl Life, renowned outdoor host Chad Belding's new predator hunting series Dead Dog Walkin' premieres on Monday night, March 28, at 9:30 PM ET on Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman. The show follows Belding and his team, primarily his brother Clay Belding and colleagues Alex Faust and Alex Langbell, as they hunt coyotes and other predators that are threatening domestic sheep and cattle herds, as well as game animals.

Belding's The Fowl Life returns to Sportsman Channel for season three the week of June 27.

"We crossed the country doing Dead Dog Walkin', and realize that the expansion of predator populations has led to some difficult situations for farmers, ranchers and our fellow hunters," says Chad Belding. "The conservation we're providing, as well as reducing the number of predators in these areas is helpful for everyone, and the hunts make for some great television, too."

Belding, a native of Reno, Nev., chose three Nevada-area sites among the first four locations for the series in order to try to help his local ranchers and hunters:

Episode 1: Ranchland Security (airs March 28)-Filmed in the state of Nevada with Chad and Clay Belding, along with Alex Faust as they help local ranchers protect their livestock against an outbreak of coyotes in the area.

Episode 2: Washington Laydown (airs April 4)-Team Dead Dog member Alex Langbell shows us what the state of Washington has to offer and coyotes are part of the landscape.

Episode 4-Nevada Rendevouz Part 2 (airs April 18)-- Chad and Clay Belding are back with Alex Faust in Nevada chasing coyotes to prevent them from devastating the sheep and cattle herds.
