Sportsman Delivers Week-long 'Aporkalypse 2014' Stunt

After bowing as a special and building to a block, Sportsman Channel is expanding its "Aporkalypse" stunt to a full week.

Viewers of "Aporkalypse 2014" can spend the entire week with Brian ‘Pigman” Quaca as he delves deeper into feral hog eradication and education. The stunt begins on Monday, Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. (ET) with Heli-Hunter presented by Fusion and continues with new programs throughout the week. Heli-Hunter episodes show the team educating audiences about the damage created by feral hogs and demonstrating how their eradication can curb accidents and cheat death, while saving billions of dollars and lives.

On Friday, August 8 at 7 p.m., Sportsman subs can see the tag-team of the “Motor City Madman” Ted Nugent and Quaca in action on a one-hour special as they attempt to overcome a massive infestation of destructive swine.    

The week builds to the premiere ofPigman: The Series on Sunday, August 10 at 8 p.m., as the aerial assault on the Texas feral hog population continues with a twist as Quaca leaves his helicopter in the hangar for an unconventional form of air transportation.

"We are proud to give our viewers the 2014 version of the hit stunt Aporkalypse – the bacon will be flying this year,” said Marc Fein, executive vice president of programming and production for Sportsman Channel. “Brian does a great job of educating the viewer about the serious feral hog epidemic in Texas while doing his part to help eradicate the overpopulation of hogs. The way he goes about it this year is extremely unique and some would say just plain nuts – you can’t miss it!”
