Backwoods Life Radio, airing Wednesdays at 6:00PM EST locally on 105.9FM WVGA in Valdosta, GA and streamed live throughout the world over the internet, will have special guest Nick Mundt on the August 5th show.

Mundt, co-host of the Outdoor Channel hit show Bone Collector, will spend an hour live with Backwoods Life Radio hosts Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton. Listener’s questions are always welcome during the show by calling the WVGA phoneline at 229-241-1059.

Mundt spent his early years in life growing up in Spearfish, South Dakota and chasing big bucks in The Black Hills Area. He never imagined that his passion for hunting and the outdoors would turn into a full-time career as a TV co-host of a hunting show.

After graduating from Spearfish High School in 1991, Mundt attended barber college. He’s still licensed and cuts hair now for mainly family and friends, and time limits him from doing it more often.

A former hunting guide, Mundt met Michael Waddell and Travis T-Bone Turner while working 9 years as a Realtree cameraman and field producer. When Waddell started his own production company, Mundt went with him.

Mundt, when not traveling, hunting and filming around the world for Bone Collector, spends his off time in Brookings, SD – which is about 425 miles east of his hometown of Spearfish and near the Minnesota state line.
