The Ladies Swing a Big Stick!

Yesterday was the big day for fans of “Realtree Outdoors.” Personally, I know several friends of mine who woke up Sunday morning, fixed a big ol’ cup of coffee and settled in for the NEW season of hunting shows. No more all-morning-long fishing shows on ESPN2.
From what I gathered (I was on the way home from Montana where I’d been hanging stands for my October bowhunt [see my next blog]) things started off just fine with some hunting action and, well, have you ever heard the sound of a muzzleloader when it doesn’t fire?
A click, a little smoke, then nothing.
That’s how the Realtree Sunday morning Hunting Camp went. Up in smoke! Why? Well, it seems there were some delays with the third round of the LPGA U.S Open golf tournament that had to be continued early Sunday morning before the final round and ESPN decided to pick up the coverage for a couple of hours. INSTEAD OF HUNTING SHOWS!
What is this world coming to?
The world got to see birdies being shot instead of caribou being shot. For all I knew, “Realtree Outdoors” never aired on Sunday and I assumed that this Sunday would, again, start the kick-off of “Realtree Outdoors.” But as I sat in my office this morning meeting with Bill, I received a text from Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts, my guest on the first show, and he said he saw the show and it was awesome!
What?
After a quick phone call to our buddies at ESPN, they filled us in on the scoop. “Realtree Outdoors” aired on ESPN2 Sunday afternoon sometime. They said they will look at the ratings from yesterday’s airing and determine whether or not to re-air the show again next week.
Very frustrating, especially when press releases are sent out and video promos are created announcing the start of the brand new season!
Hang in there! We’ll get it straightened out.
At least we didn’t get preempted because of a badminton tournament, but then again, don’t they slam birdies around too?

David,
I hope they re-air it because I missed it. If they do let us know when it is going to air again. Thanks.
God Bless,

I recorded Ladies Golf and had to erase. Hope they show it again.
Thanks! Craig Dilbeck
David,
I saw the show on Sunday afternoon. You guys laid the "smack down" on those Caribou. What an awesome experience. Keep'em coming!
