  Don Dziedzina

  Don Dziedzina of Illinois Outdoors Inc., has been involved in the outdoors industry for over 40 years. Don has written columns for numerous outdoor magazines and many local newspapers. For a couple years he wrote outdoor columns for the Chicago Tribune in the Sports section. For over 20 years ago Don was the producer and host of the Illinois Outdoors TV show. It aired on Comcast, Insight, and MediaCom Cable stations having a reach of nearly 7 million viewers every week. Don joined Jim DaRosa as a co-host of the Fishing and Outdoor Radio Show. The very popular outdoor radio show aired every week, simulcast on WCSJ AM 1550, WCSJ FM 103.1, WSPY FM 107.1, WSPY AM 1480, WSQR FM 93.5 and WSQR AM 1180. After two years of retirement from writing, TV and Radio, Don started a new blog on ChicagoNow titled Back Into the Outdoors. On the Illinois Outdoors TV Show, Don always says, “Great Fishing (or hunting) is not that far away.” tm That saying is still popular today.
