"Bone Collector" is one of the Outdoor Channel's most popular programs. Since premiering in 2009, the series has collected millions of fans by focusing on the culture of the hunter and not exclusively on the kill. According to host Michael Waddell, a hunter is more than a predator; a hunter is a provider, a caretaker, and a leader, and this show aims to promote that philosophy at every turn. Waddell is joined by co-hosts Nick Mundt and Travis "T-Bone" Turner for "warts and all" adventures that take them from Africa to Alaska, and the hunts are geared toward a variety of implements, including bow, muzzleloader, shotgun and rifle.
