Hahira, GA (February 16, 2010) – Backwoods Life Television, the award-winning outdoors TV program, announced today it will continue airing its popular outdoors program on the Pursuit Channel through 2010.

Hosted by fun-loving outdoors personalities Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton, Backwoods Life TV goes where few Pursuit Channel programs dare- putting the viewers in the middle of the action. From some of the most thrilling big game hunting in the wide-open West to dangerous alligator hunting in the remote swamps of Florida, Backwoods Life TV pushes the limits each and every week.

Michael Lee was very excited about last season and even more pumped about 2010. Lee shares some details about Backwoods Life TV’s 2nd year on the Pursuit Channel.

“We had a great experience airing in primetime on the Pursuit Channel in 2009 and our viewers can expect an even greater commitment from Backwoods Life TV to produce high-quality outdoors entertainment during the 2010 TV season.” said Lee, “Look for Backwoods Life TV to travel to some new locations and film more diverse hunts. We’ll also engage our loyal viewers as much as possible through some exciting contests along the way.”

Backwoods Life TV will continue its current schedule on the Pursuit Channel: Tuesdays at 6:00pm, Thursdays at 5:30PM EST and Fridays at 8:30PM EST. Backwoods Life TV also offers each episode on its website (www.BackwoodsLife.com) shortly after it airs.

About Backwoods Life TV on the Pursuit Channel
If you’re looking for another boring outdoor show, then turn the channel. Backwoods Life TV, formerly Southern Backwoods Adventures, was developed in 2004 when three guys banging their heads together said, “Since we are going hunting and fishing anyway, let’s try to make some great video of it!” Since that day the Backwoods Life TV team of Michael Lee, Kevin Knighton, Trey Wetherington, among others, have dedicated their time and efforts into producing the highest quality outdoor television and video entertainment for you, the viewer, to enjoy. With a 100% real “in your face” approach to the outdoors, their efforts have evolved into a national television show that now airs on the Pursuit Channel and will also begin airing on In Country Television (ICTV) in February 2010.

Gators, Gators, Gators!

Kevin-and-MichaelThis week we are heading down to Titusville, Florida to hunt with our good freinds of Switchgrass Outfitters.  Nothing like bowhunting alligators at night from an air boat!  Talk about an adrenaline rush!  Kevin and I were lucky enough to fill our tags last year while hunting with Seth and Mike.  This year Kevin took his brother Brent down already and he tagged his first gator.  Now time to get after the big boys.  We’ll be joined by Merrill Sport from the Pursuit Channel as we chase these big swamp lizards and hopefully bring home some fresh gator tail!

God bless and good hunting,

Michael Lee

Pursuit Channel’s Backwoods Life Names Family Tradition As Show’s Official Treestand

HDHO--HOL20While hunting across North America, Backwoods Life hosts Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton exclusively use high-quality Family Tradition Treestands.

Hahira, GA (September 2, 2009) – Backwoods Life Television, the award winning outdoors reality hunting show airing on the Pursuit Channel, announced today it has named Family Tradition Treestands as the TV show’s official treestand manufacturer.

Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton, the hosts of Backwoods Life, first experience with Family Tradition Treestands was in 2008 while bowhunting for whitetails at CCW Outfitters in Marion, Ky. The popular hosts were immediately impressed, so much so that they have been exclusively using Family Tradition’s well-built products ever since.

Family Tradition Treestands are all about quality and performance. Their stands are 100% American made in the U.S. with high-quality galvanized tubular steel for added structural integrity and rust resistance.

“Family Tradition Treestands are by far the highest quality stands we have ever used.” said Michael Lee, host of Backwoods Life on the Pursuit Channel, “When hunters compare the quality and durability of Family Traditions to the stands of other manufacturers, the differences will be obvious. We recommend Family Tradition Treestands to everyone.”

With models to fit every type of hunter, Family Tradition Treestands has clearly set the standard for comfort in the woods. Family Tradition Treestands, LLC is also doing its part to preserve the true heritage of hunting by keeping our hunting customers safe, comfortable and passionate about hunting sports.

About Family Tradition Treestands in Charlotte, MI
Family Tradition Treestands are conceived and built by individuals who possess a true passion for the outdoors. A passion that is rapidly disappearing from other businesses that rely on the sport of hunting. Too much emphasis has been placed on the business of hunting equipment instead of creating passion for the outdoors and hunting sports. With models to fit every type of hunter, Family Tradition Treestands clearly set the standard for comfort in the woods.
