If you like Duck Dynasty, tune into A&E’s new Country Buck$ show
What the Robertsons are to duck hunting, Wildgame Innovation’s Busbice family is to big game hunting. So, considering the popularity of Duck Dynasty, it only makes sense that A&E has given the Busbices their own show, Country Buck$.
From the network…
A&E Network’s new original real-life series “Country Buck$” follows the Busbice family who founded Wildgame Innovations, a small hunting gear business that has grown into a multi-million dollar wildlife sporting empire. Their 55,000-acre ranch (three times the size of Manhattan), a sportsman fantasy camp in Louisiana, serves as the testing ground for their new products. Follow the Busbice clan as they strive to perfect their high-tech hunting innovations, family-style.
At the helm of Wildgame Innovations are brothers Ryan Busbice and Matt Busbice, who invented the company’s first product in their kitchen about 10 years ago. From there, the business rapidly expanded to include 12 major outdoor brands and 2,400 products. To meet the demand, the brothers brought on their dad, Bill Busbice, and the rest of the family — which even includes a kooky uncle.
Uncle Hard Luck is a product tester with the worst luck. His knack for out-of-the-box inventions pushes the family’s buttons and keeps them on their toes. Joe Buck acts as The Voice of reason to his father Hard Luck’s crazy shenanigans. Ryan and Matt’s father Big Bill often finds himself getting roped into the harebrained antics of his brother Hard Luck, much to his wife Beth’s chagrin. Trusted ranch manager T-Carr is caught in the precarious position of working for Bill and also trying to help Matt and Ryan with their products. Finally, there is Bella, the family’s pet deer, who constantly gets into trouble. No idea is too crazy for the Busbice family and if T-Carr and Hard Luck can’t figure it out, it’s not a feasible product for market.
Although it sounds like there are a lot of similarities with the Robertsons, it doesn’t sound like the families will develop any kind of rivalry: The Busbices are actually good friends with Willie Robertson, who recently appeared on Ryan, Matt and Bill’s Outdoor Channel show, Wildgame Nation.
Country Buck$ premieres on A&E on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 10/9c.
