ESPN Outdoors starts its fourth quarter with new seasons of Territories Wild, Whitetail Country, and the 2008 conclusion to Redfish Cup. Also, Chronicles of the Hunt will be an exciting addition to the ESPN Outdoors hunting roster on ESPN2.

Chronicles of the Hunt, which starts the ESPN Outdoors block Saturdays at 7 a.m. ET, features a mix of North American big game hunts, African Safaris, upland game birds and waterfowl hunting. This show will cover various hunts from locations across North America, from deer in Michigan to turkeys on the Rio Grande to elk in the high country. Chronicles also covers all the bases when it comes to hunting the world, including exotic locations such as the rain forest and Africa.

On Oct. 18, Bassmaster Elite Series pros Kelly Jordon and Jeff Kriet will be featured on Chronicles of the Hunt as they participate in the opening day of dove-hunting season.

The popular Redfish Cup is back on Saturdays at 8:30 a.m., and captures the best redfish tournament angler teams as they strive to bring the heaviest two-fish limit to the stage. After two days of fishing, the field is cut to the top five teams and all weights are back to zero for the final day. Catch the first episode Saturday, Oct. 4, as it documents the 2008 tournament season and provides how-to topics and technique tips.

Hunt Sunday presented by Realtree will feature never-before-seen episodes of Whitetail Country and Territories Wild at 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., respectively.

Whitetail Country dives into different geological parts of the whitetail woods, delivering technique and strategy for each particular region. Whitetail Country features many professional hunters, including Tom Miranda, Bill Jordan, Chuck Adams, Greg Miller and more. Each week viewers will see great hunts and get an up-close look at one of the pros at home.

Host Tom Miranda is back with another set of new shows this fall with Territories Wild. He hunts from Africa, Australia, Canada, South Africa and various U.S. locations. The species documented include elephant, deer, water buffalo, bear, stone sheep, caribou, mountain lion and eland. Tune in Sunday, Oct. 5, to see Miranda in the wilds of Zimbabwe as he hunts the world's largest land mammal, the African elephant.

Realtree Outdoors, Driven to Hunt, Under Wild Skies and Thompson Center's Pro Hunter Journal will continue with their 2008 seasons in the fourth quarter as well. With names like Bill Jordan, Tom Miranda and Stan Potts, ESPN Outdoors will continue to bring unmatched know-how, as well as the latest when-to, where-to and how-to information with the most entertaining and exciting hunting action on television and the Web.
