Guided
South Texas Premier Experience
The ‘Guided’ television series featuring real outdoor people and real outdoor experiences.
‘Guided’, chronicles the lives of four, hard-working Texans who give it their all, to make each new client’s dream come true. With mud on their boots and calluses on their hands, these determined hunting guides ensure the job gets done right, no matter what the cost, for every client, every time.
Dan Braman, AKA “the secret boss” is a true prankster and man of many talents. Next up and lead guide in charge of the main Mellon Creek Outfitters management program is Hagen Watkins; who after 8 years of guiding on the MCO has too many stories to tell over one campfire. Guide Pat Harney, hailing all the way from Rhode Island, will tell it like it is, and pull one over on you before you even know what happened. Don’t forget the new guy in town, Derek Woods, who has just joined the team for his first season guiding at the ranch. With this much personality there is al-ways a snake hidden in someone’s truck, or an unshared opinion to be had. But at the end of the day they all work together to make Mellon Creek Outfitters the best it can be.

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 highly educated with multiple college degrees 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 fully guiding hunters and managing the ranch’s gun range, Bridle Iron South. 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.
