ESPN “The New American Sportsman”

 

            ESPN OUTDOORS has asked us to recommend Outfitters, Guides and Lodges

such as yourself, who might be interested in appearing in their new television

series ”The New American Sportsman.”  The program is now being televised Monday

nights in prime time (8pm EST). Estimated viewing audience: 80 million viewers per

program.

 

            If you are selected as a destination for participation, you will be required to provide

meals, lodging, guides, boats, etc., for the camera crew and the accompanying celebrity

and his/her companion.

 

            Ground/Air Transportation to and from your destination would be ESPN’s

responsibility, as would all licenses, tags and gratuities.  In addition, you would be required

to pay Outdoor Wilderness Adventures a 5% commission for any ESPN viewers who

contact you directly and book with you as a result of your appearance on the program.  

    

             If an ESPN viewer contacts Outdoor Wilderness Adventures (and we anticipate most

of the bookings will come through us) and we coordinate the booking for you, you would pay

us a 15% commission for trips booked, with the exception of International trips, such as

Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, New Zealand, etc. (excluding Canada),

in which case the commission is 20%.  You will also receive bookings from us as a result of

our company’s name appearing on ESPN’s “The New American Sportsman” website.

 

Note: Your name and phone number will appear at the end of the program in

which your destination has been featured.  You will be receiving direct calls

from viewers of the program, as well as bookings that will come to you

through our company.  Some of these programs will air up to 20 times on ESPN.

 

          The length of these trips by ESPN should be 4 nights/3 days of hunting and/or fishing,

unless the trip involves international travel.  These stays may be slightly longer in length.  The

size of the group will vary from between 5 and 6 people (the celebrity, his/her companion,

and a camera crew of four.)  For big game hunting destinations, only the celebrity will hunt.

 

            The trips to your destination will be scheduled during a time you recommend.

 

            If you would like to be considered for participation, please complete the attached

form and e-mail it to us as soon as possible.  Then, return the original document with your

original signature via surface mail. 

 

Our new address is:      669 West LaSalle Street

                                         Springfield, MO 65807. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call our toll-free number: 1-866-228-6116.

International destinations should use 417-862-1442.

 

            Please keep in mind that the final decision as to which destinations are selected

will be entirely up to ESPN.  We are only acting as a conduit by recommending destinations

we feel would be appropriate for their program format.

 

            Looking forward to working with you.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Marv Fremerman

ESPN REGISTRATION FORM

 

_____Yes, I would like to participate in ESPN’s new program series, “The New American

            Sportsman.”

 

_____ I agree to provided lodging, meals, guides, boats, motors, etc. to the ESPN camera

            crew  and   accompanying celebrity with the understanding that they will pay their own

            ground-air  transportation expenses to my destination, all fees for licenses and tags,

            and gratuities.

 

 _____ I agree to pay Outdoor Wilderness Adventures a 5% commission for any direct

             bookings I receive as a result of my appearance on the program.  And in the event the

             booking comes through Outdoor Wilderness Adventures and OWA coordinates the

             booking for me, then OWA would receive a 15% commission.  For International

             bookings (excluding Canada) OWA would receive a 20% commission.

 

   

Species available to hunt or fish at my destination:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please describe where the camera crew and celebrity should fly into and what

arrangement will be made upon their arrival.  (i.e., will someone pick them up or will

they rent a car.)

 

 

 

 

Please write a brief (very brief) description of the trip you are proposing that will be a selling

tool that will be presented to ESPN.  This description should read like a travel listing

enhancing the expectations and experiences the celebrity taking the trip can expect to

encounter.  You should also include specific dates you are recommending for the celebrity’s

consideration.  Following is an example:

 

                    Big Cedar Lodge, the Ozarks’ Premier Wilderness Resort has

                    been touted as “the best of the best” by the Wall Street Journal.

                    Located on Table Rock Lake recognized as one of the Top 10

                    Bass fishing lakes in the country. For the reel fisherman, try

                    fly-fishing for trophy trout at nearby Dogwood Canyon Nature

                    Park, a 10,000-acre private wilderness refuge, just 20 minutes

                    from the lodge.   www.big-cedar.com

                    Dates recommended: May 13 – 17, 2003; June 10-15, 2003;

                    Sept. 9-12, 2003.

 

Write your description here. If this is a hunting trip, be sure to include what the terrain is

like and how arduous it will be physically for those taking the trip. And be sure to include

your website address at the end.  Remember, in order to submit your destination

to ESPN you MUST provide specific species and specific weeks when you have

openings to hunt and/or fish for those species.  It’s not enough to just say

“Elk season is from October 15th thru November 13th, 2002.” It should read:

“Elk, November 1 – 8, 2003.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please indicate how you would prefer to have your name appear on the screen at the

end of the program and what phone number you would like to have listed.
