AS WE ALL KNOW, time flies when you're having fun. Which means we must be having fun with Bowhunter Magazine TV, because here we are already -- as you receive this issue of Bowhunter -- in our sixth week. Whether "fun" is the correct word is debatable, because we certainly have endured a few growing pains during our first year of production. But we also believe our efforts have produced a product that you will find educational, entertaining, and professional. Above all, we hope Bowhunter Magazine TV does Bowhunting and bowhunters proud.

One goal with the program is to bring you a representative cross-section of bowhunting, as we do in the magazine. We're fully aware that bowhunters hunt whitetails more than any other game in North America, but we also know that many of you hunt other species -- or dream of hunting other species. So, in Bowhunter Magazine TV, we strive to cover all forms and levels of bowhunting.

During the sixth programming week, the week of August 1, we bring you our first turkey-hunting segment, as program Co-Host Mike Carney and Assistant Editor Brian Fortenbaugh join Keith Beam and Brooks Johnson from Double Bull Archery in South Dakota where they hunt from Double Bull blinds to score 100 percent on big gobblers.

In Week 7 (August 8), Publisher Jeff Waring and Sales Manager Jeff Millar head to Texas for a mixed bag "Spring Break," and in our second feature that week, Contributor Lon Lauber slams a hefty whitetail in Kansas.

Then in Week 8 (August 15), Lon Lauber returns with his sons to get into some heavy-duty action on California hogs. Then I travel to the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming to hunt bears and take... Well, I can't tell you the outcome. You'll have to watch the program. But rest assured, it will be good.

During Week 9 (August 22), Bowhunter Contributor and Bowsite.com proprietor Pat Lefemine travels to British Columbia and almost gets himself eaten by a grizzly bear. That's one you don't want to miss. Then yours truly stalks black bears in B.C. If you think the so-called pros never miss, you'd better watch that program to learn the truth...

In Week 10 (August 29), Contributor Lon Lauber puts some Kansas turkeys in their place. Then Pat Lefemine takes us back to Kansas for a fine whitetail hunt, and he offers us an exclusive lesson with "The World's Greatest Tracker." You have to see that to believe it.

Week 11 (September 5) takes us to Africa with Lon Lauber. Lon has written several articles for the magazine about how to shoot a bow, and he proves on this hunt that he follows his own advice. To get a personal feel for the Dark Continent, make sure you catch this segment.

During Week 12 (September 12), Jeff Waring and Jeff Millar share close encounters and lessons learned with big whitetails in Illinois and Missouri, respectively. And in the second feature you'll head to Camp Grayling in northern Saskatchewan where Bowhunter Founder/Editor Emeritus M.R. James, Jeff Waring, and Brian Fortenbaugh take on some big wilderness black bears.

Finally, in Week 13 (September 19), Larry D. Jones and I travel to Kodiak Island, Alaska, where we live on a boat and venture ashore to take on Sitka blacktail deer. To top things off, Equipment Editor Curt Wells steps across the state line from his home in North Dakota to take a whopper Minnesota buck. You can read all about that hunt in this issue's "TV Buck." Then you can watch it live on Bowhunter Magazine TV to see if we're telling the story straight!
