NICK HOFFMAN and THE WILD RIDE
"No matter where you travel, no matter what you hunt, if you scratch the surface just a little bit, you'll be amazed by what you find!" -Nick Hoffman
For 11 Seasons, NICK'S WILD RIDE has taken audiences along for the ride as host Nick Hoffman journeys around the world in search of wild game in incredible places. Along the way, he showcases his passionate belief that "hunting is about so much more than killing." For him, it's about the people, the culture, the food, the music, the drink, and the history of the places he hunts that make the most meaningful memories.
About Nick:
Nick Hoffman is a lot of things: fiddle player, country music artist, songwriter, outdoorsman, radio host, entrepreneur, filmmaker, writer, television host, pilot, and history nut. This eclectic blend of passions drives his love of travel, history, and culture.
Hoffman ran away from home at 16 to pursue his dreams of being a fiddle-playing country star. This led to sharing the stage with some of music’s biggest superstars — Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, Trace Adkins, and many more — before being signed to Warner Music Nashville with his band The Farm, Inc. and scoring two Top 40 hits.. He is the winner of the Country Music Association (CMA) Award for Touring Musician of the Year. A new solo album will be released in the fall of 2026.
In 2016, he made his television hosting debut with his show Nick's Wild Ride on Outdoor
Channel. It was an immediate ratings success and is now in production for its 11th season which will debut in September of 2026.
Nick is a passionate conservationist who is dedicated to not only showcasing the importance of sustainable-use hunting, wildlife management, and outdoor mentorship but also to being a part of many projects that enhance these things. He is an active member of, and donor to many conservation organizations.
In addition to television and music, Hoffman is the host of two critically-acclaimed radio shows on Apple Music.
A native of tiny Nowthen, MN, Nick is a proud Minnesotan who now lives outside of Nashville with his wife, daughter, and their many horses and dogs.
NICK'S WILD RIDE
Critically-acclaimed Nick’s Wild Ride with host Nick Hoffman takes viewers on a unique journey as Nick digs deep into the food, culture, history, music, and heartbeat of the location that he is hunting in. The result is a show that has proven itself to be appealing to hunters and non-hunters alike.
In 10 award-winning seasons, “Nick’s Wild Ride” has taken tens of millions of fans all around the world and across the U.S. for dozens of different species. But, what sets Nick’s Wild Ride apart from other outdoor-programming is the style, the storytelling,
and the exploration of the backbone of the place he’s in. This truly unique approach combined with Nick’s authentic style and humor have made Nick’s Wild Ride one of the best rated shows on Outdoor Channel for over ten exciting years.
Now, in Season 11 , Nick takes things to a new level as he seeks out the most interest-ing places to hunt and explore on our planet.
Nick and Nick’s Wild Ride have become a voice for conservation as well. At a time when hunting lands and rights are under attack at home, and abroad, Nick uses his travels
to spread the outdoor conservation message in a way that is energizing to younger hunters and palatable to non-hunters.
This has lead to Nick’s Wild Ride being honored with several awards for conservation including the Outdoor Sportsman Award for “BEST CONSERVATION” and more than 20 Telly Awards.
It also airs nationally on Outdoor Channel, FanDuel Sports, Amazon Prime Video, and streams on MyOutdoorTV and YouTube.
