\nToday\u2019s youth are consistently inundated with modern technologies and devices, which can serve as a distraction to fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, camping and other healthy outdoor activities.\u00a0 Throughout the Marathon, Brotherhood Outdoors<\/em> co-hosts Daniel Lee Martin and Julie McQueen will provide viewers with interesting stories about the dedicated men and women who keep America moving forward and do their part to introduce America\u2019s youth to our nation\u2019s cherished outdoor lifestyle.
\nSportsman Channel\u2019s Brotherhood Outdoors Labor Day Marathon features six captivating episodes that include everything from a father and his sons guiding a fellow firefighter on a heart-pounding mule deer hunt in Arizona to a father and his daughters taking another young girl on her first coon hunt in Kentucky. The Marathon chronicles hard-working men and women who share a passion for outdoor adventures and are focused on passing along their great experiences to America\u2019s youth.
\n\u201cMany Americans celebrate Labor Day by spending time outdoors with their families,\u201d said USA Executive Director and CEO Fred Myers.\u00a0 \u201c<\/strong>Just as we educate and prepare today\u2019s youth for future careers, we must teach them about conservation and to value the outdoor heritage that\u2019s intrinsic to our great nation.\u00a0 That\u2019s why educating youth about the outdoors is a key part of the Union Sportsmen\u2019s Alliance\u2019s mission and why we\u2019re excited to once again partner with Sportsman Channel for this special Brotherhood Outdoors<\/em> Labor Day Marathon<\/em>.\u201d
