HUNTING -- A TV documentary will air Thursday featuring two Montana hunters confronting the issues and the difficulty centered around hunting wolves. The two-episode program on the Sportsman Channel will be the first to follow a wolf hunt in the Lower 48 states.

It's already getting praised and bashed, as you might expect.  See the video intro above and judge for yourself.

 “On Your Own Adventures” tackles the issue of wolf management head-on with an attempt to present equal parts education and adventure.

Big game hunter and conservation historian Randy Newberg, along with hunting partner, Matt Clyde, will try to outsmart an intelligent predator—and explain the reasons why wolf management is necessary—during an 11-day spot-and-stalk wolf hunt.

The series airs Thursday (Aug.) 16 and concludes on Aug. 23. 

To find the Sportsman Channel:

Use the zip code locator on the website http://thesportsmanchannel.com if you plug in your zip code, it will show the providers the channel is on.

I used zip code 99201 and it shows the Sportsman Channel on Comcast ch 428, DIRECTV 605, DISH 395 (that's in HD too).
