HUNT WITH THE HUSKERS BENEFIT EVENT FOR TEAMMATES

I want to personally invite you to a special European tower charity pheasant hunt that I am involved with featuring 12 former Cornhusker football greats and their legendary Husker Coach and current U.N.L. Athletic Director Tom Osborne. This is a benefit for Tom Osborne’s Teammates Mentoring Program.

The hunt will be held at the scenic Oak Creek Sporting Club just west of Wahoo near Brainard, NE on March 31st. Oak Creek is a licensed Nebraska controlled shooting area (hunting preserve) with its upland game bird hunting season going from September 1 – March 31. See the flyer below for further details, reserve your spot  and then get ready for plenty of birds! Oh, and be sure to tune in to my Great Outdoor Radio Show on Omaha’s KOZN/1620 AM (www.1620thezone.com) that morning from 9-10 for interviews with Coach Osborne, a few of the former Husker football greats and hunt coordinator Terry Kriz of Oak Creek . I’ll also be joined by my friend and longtime sports commentator Adrian Fiala! Don’t miss the broadcast and hope to see you at the event!

MY BROADCAST SCHEDULE AND TOPICS FOR THE WEEK

Besides my other various weekly broadcast gigs and duties, here’s what I’ll be covering where and when. 

On television this week, I”ll be encouraging you to buy your 2012 NE fishing permit and then do some winter fishing at a northeastern Nebraska trout stream with public access that never freezes and is stocked with 200 pan-sized rainbows each week.

Brown trout can be caught in this spring-fed creek as well.

 

See my live TV gig on WOWT-TV/Channel 6 out of Omaha, NE Thursdays at 6 p.m. during sports and then again on Saturdays later in the station’s hour-long 8 a.m. newscast. Video replays of my segment are available on www.wowt.com/sports

On the radio side of things, come see my Great Outdoor Radio Show when we hit the road once again this Saturday for two live broadcasts with a flurry of special guests. The first one will take place at the Nebraska Safari Club Expo at the Embassy Suites in La Vista, NE from 9-10 a.m. The second one will happen at the Nebraska Big Buck Classic at the Century Link Center in downtown Omaha, NE from 1-2 p.m. If you can’t make it to the broadcasts, listen in on Omaha’s KOZN Radio/1620 AM “The Zone” or online at www.1620thezone.com
