The new season begins with a hunt for elusive giant elk and mule deer high in the mountains of southern Colorado. Premieres Saturday, July 3.
Officials from Dorsey Pictures, the world’s largest producer of outdoor adventure programming, announce that Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey – the most watched outdoor program in the world – returns to Outdoor Channel this week with a premiere episode featuring elk and mule deer hunts in southern Colorado. The series airs every Saturday at 12:30 p.m. EST on Outdoor Channel with four bonus airings throughout the week. Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey is a joint venture between Dorsey Pictures, the largest producer of outdoor lifestyle programming in history and Sporting Classics magazine, the award-winning 40-year old premium outdoor magazine that showcases the history, art and romance of the outdoors.
Season 3 of Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey kicks off with “The Mountains are in You,” an episode featuring frigid late season elk and mule deer hunt in thin air with heavy snow on the ground. While there are plenty of bulls roaming this stretch of the state, Dorsey is after a giant which eluded several hunters earlier in the season. The showdown culminates in a thousand-acre stand of giant aspens with an epic game of cat and mouse, delivering a 360-class bull on the last day of the season. But it isn’t just the elk that grow big here, for eye-popping mule deer bucks call this high country home as well…and wait ‘til you get a look at the whopper non-typical that materializes from the forest.
