Brian
Treadwell graduated from SMU in ' 92 with a bachelor of arts.
Upon graduation Brian was hired to make hunting videos for the
largest producer of hunting videos in America.
Brian had the confidence that his family's 115 yr old Ft. McKavett
ranch could stand up with the best hunting destinations in the
U.S. At Christmas of ' 94 the Treadwell family came together for
a meeting and Rocket T Outfitters was launched.
Fall of '
95 saw RTO as the first Hill Country ranch to ever appear in the
Realtree Monster Bucks video series, where Realtree shooters took
2 Pope & Young bucks in 3 days. In the years that followed, RTO
hosted many other hunters from almost every hunting TV show on
TNN and Fox Sports. In ' 97 RTO was chosen in the top 10 places
to hunt in the Southern United States as well as the top 10 places
to hunt in Texas, for the same year, according to the Southern
Sports Journal.
In ' 98,
the Outdoor Channel approached Brian about creating an RTO series
titled Runnin' Wild Texas Adventures. The series received lots
of recognition and viewer appreciation according to the Outdoor
Channel, but after a year on the air, the RTO gang decided they
knew more about hunting and ranching than selling TV advertising
sponsorships.
