Benny Spies Spreads Holiday Cheer with Four New Episodes on
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
NEW BERLIN, WI (December 15, 2014) - What better way to get in the Christmas spirit than tuning in to Christmas with Benny presented by Cabela's with funny outdoorsman, Benny Spies. Spies is turning the last few episodes of his show,
http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/shows/gun-it-with-benny-spies/">Gun It with Benny Spies, in 2014 into a holiday extravaganza with four episodes from 7-8 p.m. ET on December 24 and December 25 exclusively on Sportsman Channel.
"I want everyone to sit down and enjoy this Christmas special right after they eat dinner, but before they open presents as these episodes are my gift to my viewers. I mean, one episode has a miniature horse in it!" exclaimed Spies. "I hope you enjoy these four episodes - in your PJs with hot chocolate and a pheasant leg."
Sharing his passions for the great outdoors and giving viewers an honest representation of how the majority of Americans truly hunt and fish is paramount for Spies' mission. Spies' outdoor journey takes viewers from his home in Watertown, South Dakota to Maine, Wyoming and more for the most authentic hunting, fishing and cooking adventures - all in the "luxurious" comforts of a 1973 Winnebago, aptly named "Toaster."
On December 24 at 7 p.m. ET, Benny kicks off the holiday season by heading to eastern South Dakota to meet his buddy TJ to deliver a special gift. The plan is to shoot a few big deer that TJ has running around his ranch. But, the deed needs to get done quickly because Benny wants to celebrate the season by cooking pheasant, having a huge feast and celebrating in the Toaster with TJ and his newest pal. At 7:30 p.m. ET, Benny heads west to Caputa, South Dakota to take on deer season and race a miniature horse named Casper.
On December 25 beginning at 7 p.m. ET, Benny is off to beautiful Maine to check a major hunt off his bucket list. Below zero temperatures and grueling conditions end up being quite the challenge. If Benny can learn the ropes and keep his cool, he might be able to check two things off that bucket list. At 7:30 p.m., Benny, his cousin and the Toaster race against time to complete what is known as the South Dakota Triple Crown.
