Union members have an opportunity to win a hunting or fishing trip in exotic locales—and appear on the national television program “Escape to the Wild.”

The winners will venture to Argentina to hunt majestic red stag, join professional angler Byron Velvick for Texas bass fishing or trek Canada’s expansive tundra to hunt caribou and upland bird—just a few of the trips that will be awarded.

Russell Delaney, a member of Electrical Workers Local 2320 in New Hampshire, traveled to Nebraska in December to hunt waterfowl in the Central Flyway courtesy of the TV program.

“Escape to the Wild” is supported by the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP), VERSUS Network and the unions in the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA). Launched last July, USA is a joint venture between 21 unions and the TRCP.

One of USA’s main goals is to support the TRCP’s long-standing dedication to guaranteeing access for hunters and anglers, conserving fish and wildlife habitat and increasing funding for conservation.
