Safari Classics Productions and Sports Afield are pleased to announce that prominent conservationist Shane Mahoney has been named host of Trijicon World of Sports Afield television show starting with the show’s second season in July 2012.
Readers of Sports Afield magazine are already familiar with Shane, who has penned the “Conservation Corner with Shane Mahoney” column for the past two years. A Newfoundland native, Shane is a wildlife scientist who ran research programs in Newfoundland and Labrador for many years. His work on bears, moose, and caribou has been published in a wide range of peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Shane has also lectured extensively around the world on hunting and conservation issues, often appearing at the national conventions of the Dallas Safari Club, Safari Club International, and the Wild Sheep Foundation, among others.
Shane is no stranger to television, having narrated Leupold Big Game Profiles on the Outdoor Channel for the past five years. He hosted and helped write and produce two films that trace the historical development of wildlife conservation in North America and in South Africa (Opportunity for All and The South African Conservation Success Story).
“Bringing Shane on as host solidifies our commitment to putting out an exciting, fun-to-watch hunting show with a strong conservation ethic,” said Sports Afield publisher Ludo Wurfbain. “We know Shane Mahoney will be a great asset to Trijicon World of Sports Afield television.”
