About Me

For me, life revolves around hunting and fishing! I'm out there a lot for work doing TV shows, but I spend all of my free time hunting and fishing, too. There's nothing better than time outdoors with good people who appreciate the beauty of nature and our outdoor heritage. I got my start in outdoor television as the Associate Producer and co-host of Michigan Out-of-Doors TV. I had an amazing three and-a-half years there and am currently the co-host of 'Step Outside' on Outdoor Channel and the host of 'The Guide Series with Kelly Gotch' which started airing in July 2009 on the Pursuit Channel (HUNT Ch. 608 on DirecTV). When I'm not hunting or fishing I'm filming or editing outdoor shows or other projects. I'm also a writer. Screenplays, songs, outdoor articles, poetry... you name it. I am a small-town girl who is country to the core and have definitely always been one of the guys. I grew up in Ortonville where we knew a good night started with boots, brims and brewskis! I enjoy moments that call for four wheel drive and mud is just fun! BEST OF BUCK AND FISH ON! ~KELLY GOTCH

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've met some amazing people but I'm still waiting for a 200" drop tine buck at 20 yards, broadside, right here in Michigan. I also wish I could have met Mort Neff, Fred Bear, The Lizard King and Darrell Lance Abbott.

Spring Rocks!

It's been an awesome spring so far!   I headed to Alabama in March to chase turkeys with Lynn Pankey from Realtree.  Had a ball but left empty handed.  We experienced a lot of acti...

Where's the ice... again?

This time of year I'm usually ice fishing right here in Michigan.  But call it global warming or just a case of bad weather luck that is keeping the temps up and the water open around most of the...

October 1st - 7th was a great week!

Well, opening day has come and gone and we're finally a week into bow season. I look back upon this first week of the season with mixed emotions. As with most hunts, there were ups and there were down...
