Our Team
Dan Braman
Born and raised in Refugio, Texas, he is a Texan through and through. AKA the “Secret Boss’’, clients would never know he owns the whole
operation. Don’t let all his jokes fool you, he is serious about knowledge and has a strong drive to become a better version of himself each day. Striving to be the strongest advocate of the hunting and fishing industry, along with upholding America’s second amendment rights, he is a true outdoorsman.
Hagen Watkins
Born and raised in Uvalde, Texas, he holds a degree in range and wildlife management. He was able to put that degree to good use after meeting Dan at a random Thanksgiving dinner. Eight years later he is managing Mellon Creek Outfitters as well as guiding hunters. He loves the fact there is no typical day-to-day routine, and looks forward to things getting even bigger and better as seasons pass.
Pat Harney
Born and raised in Glocester, Rhode Island, he has been working his way into the hunting industry after deciding a career in finance was not the right path for him. With a motto that “life’s too short to be negative,” he found himself right at home on the Mellon. After being welcomed by the team two years ago, Pat has been successful at filling his clients tags trip after trip.
Derek Woods
Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, he is determined to be successful in whatever life brings him. With a passion for hunting as strong as his love for doughnuts, Derek has decided he’s ready to be a guide. After a successful career as a camera operator for the TV series “Wildlifers,” he’s gained the knowledge and experience it takes to try his hand as a guide. He joins the MCO team for the first time this year, and is ready to make his mark.
