This week on the Backwoods Life Podcast, Michael Lee sits down with longtime friend and one of the outdoor industry's most recognizable personalities, Nate Hosie of HeadHunters TV on the Outdoor Channel.

Born and raised in the mountains of Pennsylvania, Nate's passion for hunting began at an early age while chasing pheasants with his father and grandfather. Over the years, that passion evolved into a career in the outdoor industry, where he became known for his turkey hunting expertise, winning multiple calling contests and earning the nickname "The Turkey Slayer." Nate later joined the HeadHunters TV team, helping create one of outdoor television's most authentic and entertaining shows.

In this episode, Michael and Nate talk about their years of friendship, the highs and lows of life in the outdoor industry, unforgettable hunting adventures, family, faith, and the experiences that have shaped Nate both in front of and behind the camera. They also dive into what it really takes to build a successful career in outdoor television while staying true to your roots and your values. Nate has also pursued a career in country music, adding another layer to his incredible story.

Whether you've followed HeadHunters TV for years or you're hearing Nate's story for the first time, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

🎙️ Listen now and join us around the campfire for another great episode of the Backwoods Life Podcast.

In this episode, I sit down with pastor, author, outdoorsman, and founder of Church of 1122, Joby Martin. What started as a conversation about turkey hunting quickly turned into a deep discussion about faith, brotherhood, purpose, and why the outdoors has such a powerful impact on the hearts of men.

Joby shares stories from the deer stand, his love for turkey hunting, adventures from Texas to Africa, and why he writes most of his sermons while sitting in the woods. We also discuss how hunting creates mentorship opportunities, how the outdoors can help people encounter God, and why authentic brotherhood is more important than ever.

Whether you're a hunter, outdoorsman, person of faith, or simply someone looking for meaningful conversation, this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and perspective.
