Join in True American Adventures Every Friday Beginning at 7 p.m. ET
DENVER (June 1, 2026) – Starting at 7 p.m. ET every Friday, Outdoor Channel’s “American Wild” block delivers a truly inspiring lineup of adventure programming. From taking on difficult hunt-and-fish camp remodels to overcoming every challenge while traveling the world to hunt and fish; from the drama of sibling rivalry (and respect) during a float trip on one of Alaska’s most remote rivers to the surety of breathtaking floatplane flights direct to fishing paradise; and from the incredible stories of game wardens who put their lives on the line every day to protect wildlife resources to conservation officers’ most unforgettable cases on behalf of America’s natural treasures; the “American Wild” block promises true-life American adventures.
Shows included in the “American Wild” block include:
Renovation Hunters – 7:00 p.m.: Dedicated hunter, outdoorsman, jack of all trades – and in this case master of plenty – Hal Shaffer hosts Season 4 of this program that blends home improvement with the outdoor lifestyle. A member of the popular Drop Zone Hunting team with NASCAR great Greg Zipadelli for over 15 years, Shaffer sets out each week on Renovation Hunters with general contractor Kevin Tarkovich to preserve family hunting and fishing traditions by remodeling camps and lodges across America. In the first episode of this month, “Two Bathrooms!” the team heads to South Dakota to wow the good folks at Roscoe Ringnecks with all-new amenities for their hunting lodge.
Nick’s Wild Ride with Nick Hoffman – 7:30 p.m.: Join well-known Nashville musician, singer-songwriter and hardcore hunter Nick Hoffman as he travels the world in search of hunting adventure and experiences new people and places along the way. On this week’s show, “The Wild Ride,” Nick looks back at 10 crazy years of crisscrossing the globe to hunt and fish and learning about different cultures and their approach to life and the outdoors.
Dropped: Arctic Drift – 8 p.m.: The Keefer Brothers are back! Dropped returns for another wildly ambitious season, an extended, no safety-net hunt on a legendary river buried deep in the heart of Alaska’s Brooks Range. What starts as a dream hunt quickly becomes a war of attrition. This is Dropped at its rawest, pitting two brothers against one temperamental river. Appetite for adventure, survival and brotherhood all collide in one of the most stunning places on earth. In this week’s episode, “The Drift,” the brothers are faced with a tough decision because they’ve got 90 miles of river in front of them and neither moose nor caribou are cooperating. What will they choose? Only Alaska gets the final say.
Dr. Bob’s Wild Diaries – 8:30 p.m.: Well-known Soldotna, Alaska, Medical Doctor and Fishing Guide Bob Ledda serves the Kenai Peninsula region, flying guests to his secret spots and catching big fish! In the first episode of this month, “Russian River Roulette,” bad weather forces Dr. Bob to target trout close to home in hopes the weather will break and he’ll be able to take off for Silver salmon.
Wardens – 9 p.m.: When your job is protecting our most precious natural resources in some of the nation’s most remote areas, there’s rarely a dull moment. Wardens chronicles the always interesting and sometimes unbelievable lives of Conservation Officers in America. In the first episode of this month, “Deer Disputes,” an officer in Southeast Michigan works a baiting case during that state’s firearms season, and another officer looks into a trespassing complaint and information on non-toxic ammo.
Wardens: Case Files – 9:30 p.m.: Go behind the scenes with real Game Wardens and Conservation Officers as they share the captivating stories of their most dangerous, mysterious and even infamous cases. These are “true crime” stories in the wild!
