MIKE PELLETIER, HOST - HARDCORE PURSUIT

Mike Pelletier, host of HARDCORE Pursuit has been Hosting and Producing HCP for over 13 years.  His dream of creating one of the most exciting, reality driven Hunting Shows came to life in the early 2000’s. After 6 successful seasons of airing HCP on The Sportsman Channel, Pelletier decided to retire from a 25-year career in Corporate America to put 110% of his effort and energy into making HARDCORE Pursuit a full time career.  The full-time decision has really taken HCP to another level!  Pelletier grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan running wild as a young man fishing and hunting every spare second, he had.  He resides in Iron Mountain, MI with his family and enjoys Steelhead Fishing and Working Out during the short off season.

MIKE RASMUSSEN, CO-HOST - HARDCORE PURSUIT

Mike, known by all involved with the show as “Mikey” is a diehard hunter.  As a Co-Host, the poor kid has many nick names due to the fact that he’s also named Mike – like Mike P.  We call him Mikey, Jr., Number 2, anything other than his real name!  He practices shooting his bow more than anyone we know.  He’s also the HCP Food Plot Expert, spending countless hours on a tractor planting our plots every season.  Mike is an electrician by trade.  When he’s not planting food plots or scouting for tree stand locations, he enjoys working on engines, enjoying life in the U.P.....Eh!
