Outdoor Channel’s ‘Heartland Bowhunter’ Offers a Lovefest of Entertainment and Excitement on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m.

Posted on February 12, 2019February 20, 2019 by George Apregan

DENVER (February 12, 2019) – Join host Michael Hunsucker and cameraman Shawn Luchtel as they patrol the Midwest in Heartland Bowhunter, Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. on Outdoor Channel. Follow the guys on their Midwestern journey as they stalk whitetail deer and spy Canadian geese.

Hunsucker began hunting with a rifle from a young age, but soon realized that a 10-day Missouri rifle season was not enough time for him to fulfill his love of chasing big, mature whitetail bucks. This led him to pick up a bow and get to work perfecting his skills. He took his first Pope and Young whitetail at the age of 16 and has since taken numerous trophy whitetails – many of which can be seen on film – all with his bow.

Luchtel has a similar story to Hunsucker. He also grew up in Missouri, spending an abundance of time in the woods, looking for huge whitetail bucks with his father. He is not solely interested in giant whitetail, as Luchtel has turned his attention to a trip west to chase big, bugling bull elk, sometime in the near future. While he often spends time behind the camera, his knowledge shines through the way he presents the hunts on film. He has been with the Heartland Bowhunter crew since their first DVD release.

Heartland Bowhunter provides Hunsucker and Luchtel an opportunity to showcase their passion for the sport and bring viewers along for the excitement and adventure. Catch up on all action by watching Heartland Bowhunter, Thursdays at 9:30 on Outdoor Channel.

Heartland Bowhunter airs on Outdoor Channel on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m.
