Life in the Open

In October 2005, TRCP's Life in the Open, a hunting and fishing television show steeped in Theodore Roosevelt’s conservation vision, debuted on Versus Network thanks to the financial support of seven of TRCP’s union partners and two contractor associations. Beautiful production by Orion Multimedia contributed to a fantastic audience response - millions of American sportsmen and sportswomen tuned in to the show during its first and second season, making it one of the highest-rated field sports programs on the VERSUS (formerly OLN).

In the program, Host Ken Barrett follows Teddy’s footsteps to explore his old hunting trails and the best hunting and fishing destinations available to today’s sportsmen, while exploring pressing issues in fish and wildlife conservation.  Learn more at www.TRCP.org.

Escape to the Wild

In January 2007, the TRCP launched a second program on Versus called Escape to the Wild.  Unlike traditional hunting and fishing program, Escape to the Wild is a union-dedicated, reality show that honors hard-working union members with trips to world-class hunting and fishing destinations.  Prior to each season, union members are given the opportunity to submit an application for an all-expense-paid trip to hunt or fish in an incredible destination like the Rocky Mountains, Africa, Costa Rica, Canada and beyond.  As the host surprises each winner with the news that he or she has won the trip of a lifetime, the viewer gets to know each union member through a glimpse into his/her life...at home, at work and in the field.
