Bone Collector Hunting Accessories

About Bone Collector

Bone Collector was founded in 2008 by Michael Waddell from Booger Bottom, Georgia, who started as an air conditioner repairman and became a champion turkey caller.

The brand name originated from a conversation between Waddell and Gregg Ritz when they were testing the Thompson/Center Triumph muzzleloader and Waddell predicted he would "be a Bone Collector" that season.

What began as a TV show on the Outdoor Channel quickly evolved into one of the most recognizable brands in the outdoor industry.

The company has remained one of the top-rated shows on the Outdoor Channel for over a decade while expanding into licensing, apparel, and product partnerships.

Today, Bone Collector stands as a champion for hunting culture, serving blue-collar hunters and weekend warriors with their "keep it real" philosophy and loyal community called "The Brotherhood."
