Sponsors are more than just advertisers.  They’re key partners in the success of both the TV and radio shows.

Without sponsors there would be no Outdoor Magazine Radio or Jay’s Outdoor Magazine TV show.

Speaking of Jay’s, they’ve been with me since the beginning.  The Poet Family who own Jay’s Sporting Goods are the best people you’ll ever meet.  They have two stores, one in Clare and the other in Gaylord, Michigan…as well as a strong online presence.

If you’re looking for a first class retail or internet buying experience, I can’t recommend Jay’s highly enough.

I’m also excited to work with another Michigan company, Ameristep.  That company started with a single screw in treestep and they’ve grown to one of the major players in the hunting industry.  Ameristep now has a full line of top quality treestands and ground blinds to fill just about any hunting need.

Personal relationships mean a lot to me in my business, and the good folks at The Hunter Safety System are right at the top of my list.  John and Jerry Wydner and their good friend Jim Barta grew up hunting and fishing in Michigan.  Years later they would come up with the idea for a treestand safety harness that has saved countless lives.

I’m excited about some new partners on the radio show as well.  The Tru Glo company makes some great sights and binoculars,  New Archery Products (NAP) has a product for just about every bowhunter and Predator Trail Cams are some of the best on the market.

I’ll be talking more about those companies and their products in the future, as well as our other television partners.

On the radio side I’m blessed with great companies to work with as well.

In my opinion Starcraft Boats is the Great Lakes premiere aluminum fishing boat.  I’ve fished out of Starcrafts for years and I’m proud to be working with that fine company.

I’ve  worked with the Ieuter Insurance Group for a long time as well.  They handle all of our business and personal insurance work, and they specialize in hunting and fishing related policies.

The Sportsman Channel is a sponsor of the radio show as well.  I work closely with TSC on both TV and radio.  Sportsman is rapidly growing into the premiere outdoor television network and I’m glad to be partnered with them.

I’m also glad to be working with Jerry Slade of The Slade Group.  That company is Michigan’s premiere hunting land specialist.  If you’re looking to buy hunting land Jerry should be your first call.

And finally, our newest radio partner is Outdoor Adventures Resorts.  They’re  a series of first class resorts across eastern Michigan that offer something for every camper.

These are just a few of our sponsor/partners.  I’ll use this space in the future to talk more about each one of them in more detail.  I’ll also bring you up to speed on the companies we work with that are not listed in this post.

Thanks again to all our TV and radio partners!  Without you we couldn’t do it.
