Matt & Ryan Busbice – People to Watch 2015

Co-founders of Wildgame Innovations; Stars of A&E’s Country Buck$
Hometown: Lafayette
Ages: 32 and 35

The difference between Matt and Ryan Busbice can be read in the way each one arrives to an interview. Matt swaggers back from a clean arrow into a buck on a morning excursion, while family man Ryan apologizes for being kept late by an important conference call.

“I would say I’m the glue of the business, and Matt is always trying to unglue me,” Ryan jokes.

With their new reality show Country Buck$ being touted as the next Duck Dynasty, the Busbice family and their hunting gear company Wildgame Innovations hit the mainstream when the show premiered in November. The boys cut their TV teeth in years of producing their own hunting shows, but network television is a new high.

“[This year] is going to be an unbelievable year that’s a culmination of a lot of hard work for the past 13 years,” Matt says. wildgameinnovations.com
