BRYCE BECKMAN
An Austin native, Bryce spent much of his youth hunting and fishing the beautiful Texas Hill Country with family & friends. Along the way, he developed a passion for processing his own game meat, including the Texas tradition of making sausage. Today he's an Operations Manager for a leading custom home builder in the the Austin area. When he is not chasing down contractors, or whitetail deer, he is busy chasing his two young daughters around his house. He's had a passion for hunting exotics and big whitetails in Texas for many years. Now he is discovering the excitement of guiding hunters, new and old, in making memories in the outdoors.
Bodie Nash
Growing up in Houston, the Texas hill country, and the valley, Bodie Nash developed a love for the outdoors at a young age. He learned wing shooting from his father and grandfather as soon as he could handle a shot gun and expanded his interests in whitetail deer, turkey, invasive species – mainly feral hogs, and coastal inland fishing. He is a supporter of organizations that seek to educate, provide outdoor experiences for youth, and native land conservation. Bodie has retired from a long career in corporate America and now time around the campfire, smoker or grill connecting with people is almost as important as time in the field.

Billy Brent
Billy Brent grew up in Highlands, Texas. His love for the great outdoors started at an early age as he helped his grandparents out on their small farm. It only grew when he was old enough to finally go hunting. Some of his best memories from childhood involve spot and stalking, field dressing, and ending the day around a campfire with his uncles and cousins. He currently lives in Baytown, Texas with his wife and three daughters. Two of them have gotten the hunting bug as well, but the other is still holding out. However, she does love to sit in a stand and watch the animals with him, so he’ll take that as a win. Aside from his job as an Operations Supervisor, he loves guiding hunters and being able to take part in their own hunting adventures.
