Beyond the Grid is an exciting and captivating hunting show hosted by Dan Pickar and Mike Crenshaw. It is a production of Eastmans' Hunting Journals, which is widely regarded as America's foremost authority on hunting and the outdoors. The show, which airs on Outdoor Channel, takes viewers on unforgettable hunting adventures across North America and beyond.

The premise of the show is simple - to put viewers in the hunting boots of Dan and Mike as they venture beyond the confines of the grid to pursue big game in some of the most remote and challenging wilderness areas in the world. The phrase "beyond the grid" refers to the vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness that are out of reach of modern technology and infrastructure. These are the places where only the most adventurous and skilled hunters dare to venture.

What sets Beyond the Grid apart from other hunting shows is its emphasis on the hunting experience rather than the outcome. While Dan and Mike are certainly skilled and successful hunters, the focus of the show is not just on the harvest, but on the journey. Viewers are treated to stunning landscapes, thrilling encounters with wildlife, and insightful commentary on the challenges and rewards of hunting in the backcountry. Whether they are bowhunting elk in the Rocky Mountains, spot-and-stalk hunting mule deer in the high desert, or pursuing grizzly bears in remote Alaskan wilderness, Dan and Mike bring a genuine passion and reverence for the outdoors to every hunt.

One of the standout aspects of the show is the high-quality production value. The cinematography is exceptional, with breathtaking aerial shots, sweeping landscapes, and up-close and personal footage of animals in their natural habitat. The editing is tight and polished, seamlessly weaving together the moments of anticipation, action, and reflection that make up each hunt. The music is also noteworthy, providing a dynamic and emotional backdrop to the storytelling.

Beyond the Grid is also notable for its educational content. Each episode includes helpful tips and tactics for hunting in challenging terrain and conditions. Viewers will learn about everything from gear selection and navigation to field dressing and game care. Dan and Mike are both highly experienced hunters with a wealth of knowledge to share, and they do so in an engaging and accessible way.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Beyond the Grid, however, is the human element. Dan and Mike are not just skilled and knowledgeable hunters, they are also personable and relatable individuals. They share their personal stories, fears, and triumphs with honesty and humility, making viewers feel like they are hunting with friends. The show also features guest appearances from other hunters and outdoor experts, adding diversity and perspective to the storytelling.

Overall, Beyond the Grid is an excellent hunting show that is sure to captivate viewers of all ages and experience levels. It is a testament to the beauty, challenge, and importance of hunting in the backcountry, and a tribute to the camaraderie, courage, and character of the men and women who pursue it. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer to the world of hunting, this show is well worth watching.

Beyond the Grid is a series that ran for 3 seasons (35 episodes) between November 17, 2016 and on Eastmans' Hunting Journals
