Special Guests
Nate Hoise & Randy Birdsong hosts of Head Hunters TV
Meet & Greet on Friday August 28th & Saturday August 29th at the Sportsman Building FREE with your paid Gate Admission
Who Are They?
One of the most successful shows on Outdoor Channel, Head Hunters TV features Randy Birdsong and Nate Hosie as they travel the country in search of big bucks, turkeys, big game, and just about everything in between. The duo built the show around a simple idea: give viewers an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to produce a hunting series — and to have a lot of fun doing it. YouTube
There’s a local connection, too. Nate Hosie was born and raised in the mountains of Pennsylvania, in the town of Montdale, where his father and grandfather started taking him hunting at age six. A standout turkey caller who won several calling contests, he earned the nickname “The Turkey Slayer.” Randy Birdsong, the show’s creator, has hunted whitetail, turkey, elk, waterfowl, and mule deer across the country

RANDY BIRDSONG
Randy Birdsong had a dream at an early age of hopefully securing a career in the outdoor industry. Determined to fulfill this dream he bought his 1st video camera at 16 and started filming as much as possible. Lucky enough he got a chance at his dream when he began hunting and filming for Don and Kandi Kisky on Whitetail Freaks which is also on The Outdoor Channel. After finishing a degree in Finance at Southern Illinois University Randy was faced with a choice of either to continue in the Outdoor industry and try to make a full time career of it or give up the dream and start an office job in finance. He rolled the dice and came up with the concept of HeadHunters TV a show designed to give an inside look at what it takes to produce an Outdoor television series. With the help of Nate Hosie, Stephen Phillips, and Jon Skidmore the team was assembled.
NATE HOSIE
Nate Hosie was born and raised in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the town of Montdale. At six, Nat‘s father and grandfather began taking him on pheasant hunts and it didn’t take them long to realize they had created a monster. As years passed his passion and knowledge for hunting grew. He began to hunt with two neighbors, country certified experts on hunting turkeys, deer, grouse and anything else that moved. Nate took an overwhelming interest in turkey hunting and took his calling and hunting tactics to the next level. Practicing yelping on a daily basis, he won several calling contests, earning the nickname “The Turkey Slayer”. After a few years with Top Calls, a legendary call company, he began doing production and field staffing for Hunters Specialties, meeting Randy Birdsong. Nate jumped at the opportunity to be a part of HeadHunters TV, and is excited to show the viewers that there still are people in this world who appreciate memories made in God’s country.
