Minneapolis, MN. July 15, 2011 -Mitch Petrie has announced the establishment of Muddy Boot Productions, LLC, a Minnesota-based television-production company. Muddy Boot Productions, creator of the Telly-Award-winning series “Wardens” on Outdoor Channel, offers a new spin on outdoor TV for hunters, anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
History: An outdoorsman himself, Petrie joined creative forces in 2004 with renowned outdoorsmen Steve Puppe and Dale Larson, to produce popular Outdoor Channel series Rocky Geared Up. In 2008, Mitch was recruited by Ron Schara to serve as President and Executive Producer of Ron Schara Productions, producers of high-quality shows such as Minnesota Bound (NBC/KARE11), Backroads with Ron & Raven and Due North Outdoors (FOX Sports North/Wisconsin) and Legends of Rod & Reel (Outdoor Channel).
