Backwoods Life TV To Air On Pursuit Channel Through 2010

Popular hosting trio of Lee, Wetherington, and Knighton will continue putting the wild outdoors in your face each week.

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
