2011 Telly Award for BOA promo.
Among a multitude of outdoor shows airing on several channels, Benelli On Assignment (BOA) is one that has always stood out as a quality show. For me, BOA has provided an incredible experience, for which I’m proud to be a part of, both on and off camera. It’s hard to believe that this year we’re celebrating our fifth season on air.

And if the object was purely dead doves why do dove hunters choose to spend the money, watch and wait for hours all for possibly taking a limit of birds on the wing, while refusing to murder a dove on the ground or sitting in a tree? CONTINUE READING »
