Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey Visits Award-Winning Rio Piedra Lodge as part of SCI’s ‘Share the Impact’ Auction

Castle Rock, Colorado--Officials from Dorsey Pictures announce that this week’s episode of Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey - the most watched outdoor TV program in the world – features world-class upland hunting at the famed Rio Piedra Plantation, where fast-action bobwhite quail take center stage. The hunt was donated by Rio Piedra owners Sam and Beth Atchison as part of SCI’s Share the Impact auction, which raised over a half-million dollars to support guides and outfitters negatively impacted by the global pandemic. The winning bidder was David Moore of Brays Island, South Carolina, who won the opportunity to experience a televised hunt with Dorsey and 4-star USMC General Walt Boomer at the award-winning lodge.

Rio Piedra is the only 3-time recipient of the Orvis Wingshooting Lodge of the Year Award, and the remarkable dogs and hard-flying birds showcased in this week’s episode are the primary reason for the unique distinction. This week’s episode of Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey is a special treat for upland-hunting fans as three friends enjoy spectacular wingshooting action to support a good cause.
