February 6, 2013 by Dan Reyes

A new season of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA‘s) award-winning hunting and fishing TV show, “Brotherhood Outdoors,” is under way, and the next episode features Plumbers and Pipe Fitters (UA) Local 412 member Dan Reyes on a New Mexico elk hunt. It airs at 11 a.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 10, on the Sportsman Channel.

Reyes is also the owner of Ridgeline Outfitters in Albuquerque, N.M., and has been a professional hunting guide for 20 years. In this unique challenge, Reyes is armed with only a muzzleloader and leaves calls and other modern gear at home. Says Reyes: My dad taught me to appreciate the great outdoors at an early age. My outdoor way of life is very important to me and I plan to hand all of this down to my kids.
