Kevin Seiler of Algoma, Wisconsin, grew up following his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps in his life’s work, and in his family’s love of outdoor pursuits. Both stories poignantly unfold in an episode of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) Brotherhood Outdoors television airing the week of September 16 on the Sportsman Channel.
Like his father before him, Seiler is a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 449, and through three generations he, his father and grandfather have cultivated a 75-year shipbuilding heritage in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. That strong family tradition also extends to working the 350-acre family farm his granddad started in 1946, as well as to the many hunting and fishing adventures they enjoyed together.
After traveling by air, road, ATV trail and boat to a remote part of Saskatchewan near the town of Nipawin, Seiler settles into the log-frame trapper’s cabin that will be home and headquarters during his quest for a bruiser whitetail buck on the 100,000-acre hunting concession operated by Big Iron Outfitters.
Surrounded by boreal forest stretching hundreds of miles in every direction and embraced by the snow and bitter cold, Seiler and USA Director of Conservation and Community Outreach Forrest Parker play a white-knuckle waiting game—until the hunter’s buck arrives.
Join Seiler on his once-in-a-lifetime Saskatchewan whitetail hunt Tuesday, September 17 at 4 p.m. Eastern on the Sportsman Channel. Or, catch one of this exciting episode’s re-airings on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., Saturday at 1:30 a.m. or Sunday, Sept. 22 at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Produced by Rusted Rooster Media, Brotherhood Outdoors invites hardworking and deserving union members on fishing or hunting adventures of a lifetime.
As season 11 continues, viewers can tag along with guests in pursuit of black bears on Vancouver Island, permit and bonefish in Mexico, waterfowl in Saskatchewan and more.
Every episode of Brotherhood Outdoors also takes viewers to the homes, communities and jobsites of these tireless American workers for an inspirational glimpse at their backstories before heading onto the water or into the field. Along the way, the show also offers snapshots of the USA’s community-based conservation, public access, outreach and mentorship efforts by a dedicated, all-volunteer union labor force.
