From Road Trippin’ to Bone Collecting, Michael Waddell has spent the last 17 years earning a reputation as a down-to-earth Georgia boy who loves everything about the outdoors, including taking a Bad Boy through the nastiest of elements.

You can catch Michael on the Outdoor Channel on his shows “Michael Waddell’s Bone Collector” and “Realtree Road Trips.”

For the last 10 years, Lee and Tiffany Lakosky have been crushing whitetails and other big-game animals across the country. This hunting couple has taken the husband and wife role on television to a new level, creating one of the most popular shows on outdoor TV with their new series, “The Crush with Lee and Tiffany.” And as this couple continues to put tags on monster whitetails, they are doing so while driving Bad Boy Buggies.

When Miranda Lambert isn’t writing hit songs or tearing up tour scene, you can find her on her ranch in Oklahoma prepping for hunting season. As a good friend of the Realtree family, Lambert has made several appearances on “Realtree Road Trips,” harvesting some huge bucks with her bow. And she hauled each one of them out on her Bad Boy with the help of boyfriend and hunting partner, Blake Shelton.

Growing up outside of Columbus, Ohio, Miranda cut his teeth on the outdoors by learning to trap, eventually moving to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where he built his own log cabin and settled in to the outdoor lifestyle.

Since launching “The Wild Outdoors” in 1994, Jay Gregory has made his mark in the outdoor industry as a whitetail enthusiast.

With the launch of Drury Outdoors in 1989, this team of brothers laid a foundation to become two of the most respected hunters in this industry.

When this country music star isn’t touring America or cutting a new album in Nashville, you can find him with a bow or shotgun in his hand trying to lure in a whitetail or tom. Craig Morgan refers to music as a way to pay for his love of hunting, which is evident by Morgan’s new TV series coming to GAC in 2010. And when Morgan isn’t revving up his dirt bike, you can find him on his Bad Boy sneaking into the woods of Tennessee. And this hunter would have it any other way.

As one of the most respected land companies in the U.S., Whitetail Properties takes great pride in finding and producing tracks of land with huge whitetail potential.

As a country music artist, Rhett Akins does his deal on the stage so he can afford to spend his time in the woods, where he has been quite successful.

When Akins isn’t on stage, you can bet he’s on his Bad Boy hunting a mature whitetail.

This singer, songwriter, and musical man has been on the country music scene for the last 20 years. And with six albums to his credit, he knows how to crank out an incredible tune. But when Tippin isn’t on stage, you can find him on his farm in Tennessee roaming the land on his Bad Boy.

And he’s gaining a reputation as a young man who loves this sport and is becoming quite successful as a hunter. As a co-host of “Realtree’s Monster Bucks” Tyler is becoming a household name in the outdoor industry. And when he’s not studying for English test or doing algebra, you can find him cruising Realtree Farms on his Bad Boy in pursuit of monster bucks.

As a member of the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, it’s safe to say Alex Rutledge knows how to get it done in the field.

At the ripe age of 14, Taylor Swift and her family packed up their bags in Pennsylvania and headed to Nashville to give Taylor the opportunity to do her thing. And she has done just that. Over the past four years, Taylor has cranked out No. 1 song after No. 1 song, not to mention the fact that she has released two Platinum albums. And in a recent interview on the back of her new pink Bad Boy Buggy, Taylor showed her passion for the outdoors and showcased her hip new transportation. Taylor is a country music star who loves her Bad Boy.

Since taking his first turkey at the age of 10, Eddie Salter has been hooked on the outdoors. Known for his endearing personality and love for turkey hunting, Salter spends every second he can in the outdoors. And in 2009, Salter was elected into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, solidifying him as one of the greatest turkey hunters of all time. And if he were to county how many turkey he hauled off on a Bad Boy, well, it would be more than a few hands could count.

As an outdoor writer, webisode producer, and big buck slayer, Bill Winke doesn’t take anything into the woods that doesn’t help him kill big bucks. And that’s why he trusts Bad Boy to help him get the job done. Whether his filming an episode for his Internet show, “Midwest Whitetail” or scouting in the off-season, Winke spends hundreds of days a year in the woods doing what he loves.
