Conferences and Events

A new weekly radio show, "Hovey's Outdoor Adventures," will start hour-long broadcasts in November, 2010. This show is entertainment based compared to the information-heavy "Backyard Sportsman." "Hovey's Outdoor Adventures" will use the storytelling format to relate product information and hunting tips in a very practical way while providing entertainment and fun in the process. Unlike the "Backyard Sportsman" which was a live broadcast, the new show is pre-recorded which allows it to be produced at any location, anytime. Both shows will be archived on Apple's iTunes and may be listened to 24/7 or downloaded to portable devices.  

"The Backyard Sportsman" on VoiceAmerica Sports Radio will discontinue production with the last show on Nov. 5, 2010. If sufficient interest is expressed by sponsors and book sales, this show will be revived. Contact me at wmhoveysmith@yahoo.com for how you can sponsor a show and how it this high information-content show may be resumed.

My new weekly radio show, "The Backyard Sportsman," will start Aug. 13, 2010, on VoiceAmerica Sports Radio. It will air at 10:00 AM Eastern and 7:00 PM Pacific and be re-broadcast 12 hours later. Following that it will be available on my show page (accessible from The Backyard Sportsman Blog at the bottom of the home page.

American Hunter magazine chose a photo of my 2010 North Carolina swan hunt as among the "Best of the Best" from their on-line bragging board. This was a solo, freelance hunt with an original 1842 British musket using non-toxic shot. A video about the hunt is at http//www.hoveysmith.wordpress.com as well as on YouTube and Facebook.
