Take the Road Less Traveled on ‘AdVANture Hunter’ on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel

Posted on February 3, 2022February 7, 2022 by George Apregan

DENVER (February 3, 2022) – Take the road less traveled on Season 2 of AdVANture Hunter airing on Sportsman Channel on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. AdVANture Hunter showcases a nomadic, sustainable outdoor lifestyle that can be achieved while living and traveling in a tricked-out Mercedes Sprinter van.

Hosted by Jim Kinsey, with co-host Brandon Nelson, AdVANture Hunter is where the rubber literally meets the road. “Living out of the van has had its challenges over the past two years, but it has forced Brandon and I to truly narrow down what we want to bring and focus on for each episode,” Kinsey said. “When you can open your back door and jump out to harvest or catch what you need to sustain your friends and family, it makes it all worth it.”

On this season, Kinsey is joined on a mule deer hunt by Taya Kyle, widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle, where they both landed massive muleys. Besides rifle hunts, Kinsey also heads out on a pistol hunt with Nashville singer/songwriter Gary Barlow.
