DENVER – #DeerWeek is back with more deer hunting content than ever before. Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) – the world’s largest aggregator and content provider of outdoor lifestyle programming – announced its renewal of #DeerWeek presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors and will air nearly 270 hours of cervid-centric content on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel during the week. With seven consecutive nights of deer hunts for outdoor enthusiasts, this annual celebration of deer hunting programming will begin airing on Monday, September 17 at 7 p.m. ET and continue through Sunday, September 23.

Back for a second year, #DeerWeek is a cross-platform deer hunting initiative that celebrates the annual season and unofficial beginning of Fall with the takeover of both Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel for seven days. The networks’ “best of” deer hunting programming will air primetime from 7 p.m. to midnight ET each night. Hosted by Lee and Tiffany Lakosky from CRUSH with Lee & Tiffany, #DeerWeek will rev up viewers that are itching to get into the woods, while providing hunting tips, educational information, venison recipes and much more through OSG’s print, digital and social media platforms.

“#DeerWeek is our way of celebrating the beginning of Fall and hunting season,” said Outdoor Sportsman Group Executive Vice President, Jason Brist. “We have received tremendous support within the industry and we look forward to bringing more programming like this for years to come.”

This September, while many North American hunters are preparing for the upcoming deer season, they will want to tune in to Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel for a week of world-class deer hunting programming. # D e e r W e e k programming will include:The Western Hunter and premiere episodes of North American Whitetail and Realtree’s Monster Bucks on Sportsman Channel. Viewers also will catch Primos TRUTH About Hunting and premiere episodes of HeadHunters TV, Whitetail Freaks and Drury’s THIRTEEN on Outdoor Channel. No matter if taken with traditional or compound bow, rifle, crossbow or slug gun, each episode airing during #DeerWeek was selected to showcase the best deer hunting moments in the woods and back at camp.
