Turner is also the celebrity archery expert to the stars, working with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Jordan, Michael Waddell, David Blanton and several country music and Major League Baseball stars on their archery setups and shooting advice. Turner currently resides in Hogansville, Georgia, with his wife, Michelle, and son, Archer. For more information, please visit: www.TboneOutdoors.com, www.bonecollector.com, or www.realtree.com.

“T-Bone brings that ‘Brotherhood of the Bone Collector’ attitude to central Ohio,” said Malloy, “which fits in perfectly with Buckeye sportsmen. I’m really looking forward to holding my first statewide Deer Camp in Cambridge, and sharing a great night with the best deer hunters in the world.” Malloy added that, “All hunters, sportsmen, and conservationists are invited, and for more information, to print out an invitation flyer, or order tickets, just go to the WTU website at www.whitetailsunlimited.com.”

Temecula, Calif. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OUTD), America’s leader in Outdoor TV, today announced that it has entered into a new multi-year partnership with Lee and Tiffany Lakosky, the network’s hallmark outdoor couple.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Lakoskys will exclusively endorse Outdoor Channel programming on air and online with promotional spots and brand ID’s; make appearances on the network’s behalf at top trade and consumer shows; and provide fresh weekly content for its growing Web site, www.OutdoorChannel.com.

The new agreement reflects Outdoor Channel’s ongoing investment in top-notch talent within the outdoor category.

Mr. Lakosky has always had a passion for hunting but that passion escalated in 1994 when he harvested his first Pope and Young whitetail. Mrs. Lakosky was introduced to the sport only six years ago and, at the time, thought that it would be a fun and interesting addition to her life but never imagined that it would turn into the passion that it has become.

CanCooker.com

Fremont, NE – -(AmmoLand.com)-The boys of the Bone Collector™ Team, Michael Waddell, Travis “T-Bone” Turner and Nick Mundt, spend much of their time on the trail of trophy game.

Their quests leave them with little time to prepare healthy food, which is important for keeping up the energy and stamina they need for success.

Now this problem is solved thanks to the revolutionary CanCooker®, which has changed the way they cook in the outdoors for the better.

CanCooker Joins the Bone Collector Team

“The CanCooker wins in so many areas,” T-Bone said. “Thanks to the CanCooker, preparing healthy, great-tasting food outdoors is now easier than ever. I don’t know how we ever survived in the wild without it!”

No more high-fat grilled food. No more messy clean up for these guys – only healthy, great-tasting food prepared in minutes. Thanks to its durable construction, the CanCooker can be used with a variety of different heat sources, such as a campfire, grill, stovetop, turkey burner, etc.

Once placed on its preferred heat source, the CanCooker will begin to generate a constant flow of steam. Within a few minutes, excess steam will visibly exit through the vent hole positioned on the lid. Once this happens, the food encased within the cooking chamber begins its actual cooking process.

The constant flow of steam within the pot deeply penetrates the food at temperatures in excess of 160-degrees Fahrenheit.

Most recipes suggest keeping the CanCooker on its heat source for an additional 35 to 40 minutes. Once this time is up, you can enjoy healthy, great-tasting food unlike anything you’ve experienced in the Great Outdoors.

Check out the Bone Collector TV show on the Outdoor Channel on Sundays at 8:30am, Mondays at 12:30pm and Tuesdays at 6 am and keep an eye out for T-Bone’s 30-second promotion of the CanCooker.
