TRANSCRIPT
Show ConceptFrom the famed brush country of South Texas, Brush Country Monsters is an established series focused on North America’s most popular big game species: Monster whitetail bucks. Filmed primarily on The Novillos, one of the finest free-range trophy whitetail properties in the world, the show features hunters taking the largest whitetails of their lives and the real emotion such an experience generates. At the same time, the show educates the viewer on the diversity of the South Texas brush country, while featuring some of the finest managed whitetail herds in the world, all in a free range environment.

Tried but True
Every hunter in the country dreams about hunting a premier destination like the brush country of South Texas. Brush Country Monsters produces incredible footage that will keep viewers glued to their TV and coming back for more week after week. This makes the series the perfect platform for promoting products ranging from ammunition and firearms to optics and wildlife management tools, to clothing and other products outside of the traditional sporting industry.
Our real advantage to the advertiser is our value added approach, which is a welcome addition in the Outdoor Industry.

Diverse ContentThe famed brush country of South Texas may be best known to the big game hunter for its trophy whitetails, but to the wingshooter, it is the Mecca of wild bobwhite quail hunting in America. While South Georgia may be known as the quail capital of the world, it is no secret that the private ranches in Deep South Texas hold the highest density of wild quail on the planet. The Novillios, home of Brush Country Monsters, is no exception and year in and year out, may be the best of all of the south Texas ranches when it comes to bobwhite quail hunting. In addition to the wild quail hunting, south Texas also offers some of the best dove hunting north of Argentina. Your products can be featured in this rich Wingshooting environment.

Why We Are UniqueLet’s face it: Nothing seems to draw higher ratings in the TV world than shows featuring whitetail deer. One problem with producing quality shows in the free-range whitetail world is having enough quality content - problem solved! Acre for acre, the Novillos has one of the highest densities of trophy whitetails in the world. The caliber of footage shot on the Novillos is unequalled in a free range environment and will develop a cult-like following among viewers, bringing them back time and time again.
On Brush Country Monsters you won’t catch us sitting on feeders, we are more likely to be overlooking one of the Tecomote food plots or in the brush rattling up one of the bucks that makes the Novillos famous.
