Scott Clark Mainbeam Outdoors
I am 47 years old, I was born and raised in the hills of Southern Ohio. I started Bow hunting with my Dad at the age of 10, as well as shooting in local archery club competitions.
I have been an outdoorsman since I was old enough to shoot a bow or cast a fishing pole. Scott Clark Mainbeam Outdoors
My favorite animal to pursue is Whitetail deer and have spent my life chasing them on the farmlands of Ohio as well as the ultimate challenge of public land hunting.
Though I love hunting anything that is legal nothing compares to me the elusive whitetail, at least for me. Scott Clark Mainbeam Outdoors
Making memories at a young age with my Father and brother in the deer woods
Making memories at a young age with my Father and brother in the deer woods is something I reflect on quite often and have been lucky enough to share the experiences with my own children as well.
Toward the latter part of 2011 I was starting to get approached by companies about joining there “Pro Staffs” and asked to promote products and shoot hunting footage.

The issue I had with all of this is that the products weren’t something I believed in as far as the benefits they provided to the hunter or the animal, most were gimmicks to attract deer that focused on the part time hunter who had hopes of luring the animal within shooting distance of his blind or tree stand.
This was not something that appealed to me at all. It was during this time that I decided to look at things from my point of view, watch YouTube videos, research attractant products online and one thing stuck out to me.
there was no nutritional value to the animal
The majority of the products were nothing more than an attractant, there was no nutritional value to the animal.
This is when I decided to come up with a mix of my own, something more nutritional, and something to be used more as a year-round maintenance program, not a gimmick to get the animal to show up at your stand to present a shot.
With this I created what is now Mainbeam Outdoors LLC. Our main focus is producing a quality whitetail mineral supplement that is more about benefiting the herd and less about the magic potion designed to bring deer running to your stand.
Our product is called Mainbeam Outdoors Whitetail Minerals, basic and simple I know, but a product that works is more important than a catchy name (to me anyway).
Mainbeam Outdoors Whitetail Minerals
With the inception of the mineral product I started putting a crew together, a crew of dedicated outdoorsmen and women across various states interested in hunting mature animals, interested in quality of quantity.
In 2014 we decided since we all film everything we do anyway why not use it to our advantage to show the results of the product and our dedication. This year in 2016 we will be premiering an outdoor show on the new GEN7 outdoors TV network on Roku as well as online.

A show was never the goal or even a thought, the mineral was always number one, with that being said it’s also a very diluted market, every other outdoorsman on social media has a supplement/attractant they are trying to market online and word of mouth, local sales and social media posts will only get you so far. So the show will be used to promote our product, it still being the main goal as well as show success.
I had grown bored with hunting shows shown on television these days because I couldn’t relate to a lot of them. The perfect scenario, the perfect buck to doe ratio, lands that have unbelievable amounts of deer and more “Booners” than most people see in a lifetime of hunting on each episode, come on now, it doesn’t go like that. Our show will be when, where and how it happens.
No scripts, no fences, no large corporate sponsors paying for our existence. Just blue color, hard working men and women who love the outdoors, who miss, who sit sometimes for days without seeing an animal. You will see the misses, the goofiness, we won’t have a special bloopers edition because the bloopers will be shown as they happen.
The viewer will relate to us because every time they watch it they will be able to say, “Yeah I remember when that happened to me”. Be sure to check out our Facebook page and look for our show Mainbeam Outdoors Adventures on the Gen7 outdoor network.
