Do you remember your 1st hunting license?
6-year-old Brooks loves the outdoors. If he can't go outside, he's watching the Outdoor Channel (beats cartoons). He chose hunting this year over playing football and looks forward to carrying on a family tradition.

His dad says, "To say he's excited is an understatement." Happy hunting, Brooks!

Red hot redfish 🔥

As temps begin to drop, redfish swarm close to shore looking for mates and optimal breeding grounds.

It's a great time to catch them, especially the big bull reds that are hungry for bait. -->Get tips on how to catch at http://bit.ly/RedDrumTX
