the story behind ride 2 hunt
Layton Green is a Canadian Champion Professional Saddle Bronc Rider and 4X NFR Qualifier. He lives in Millarville, AB, Canada with his wife Brooke and their two daughters, Annie and Rosie.
Layton is always chasing the next rodeo and title across Canada and the United States. When rodeo season slows down, he doesn’t take time off — instead, he heads to the mountains pursuing his passion for hunting. From mountain lions and wolves to elk, deer, and moose, Layton thrives in the outdoors and has built a reputation for his dedication and skill in the backcountry.
With a deep love for both saddle bronc riding and hunting, Layton knew there was only one way to truly showcase his lifestyle and passion — by creating an invitational inspired by the hunting world and the western way of life.
get to know LAYTON GREEN
Cody started his outdoor career as Jim Shockey’s original cameraman/editor in 2001. He worked along side Shockey for seven years, before branching out on his own. In 2008 Cody fulfilled a lifelong dream by starting his own show called Live2Hunt.
While filming his first season, he fell in love with one of his hunting partners, Kelsy Claypool. Sharing the same passion in life, they have found a way to make hunting their full time job, bringing footage of WORLD CLASS big game to television screens across the nation.
Cody and Kelsy have won numerous awards, but their greatest accomplishment so far, Cody shot the new potential world record archery Mule Deer in 2011. Cody and Kelsy live in central Saskatchewan, Canada where they ranch cattle and create their hunting stories while raising a beautiful family.
