Danny Brauns...
grew up as a
Southeast Iowa
farm boy and took up hunting from an
early age. His older brother
Chris (a pastor in
Illinois
) recalls from the time Danny could
walk, he lived and breathed the outdoors.
Growing up with a hard working father whose time was spent in the
fields, Danny became a self-taught outdoorsman.
He remembers Sundays after church being dropped off at various
family farms where the journey began.
It was during these times, and others, that he became a
self-taught hunter and developed a love for small game hunting that
later developed into his pursuit and passion of whitetail deer (which
his mother has often said bordered on obsession J).
|
| In that
pursuit, Danny has found much success.
He continues to hunt those same farms in Van Buren County, Iowa,
today harvesting record book whitetails year after year.
Being a typical farm boy, he finds joy in working hard developing
his deer herds which means strictly managing what he harvests.
That comes with year-round work on food plots, shed hunting,
velvet footage, running trail cameras and scouting his families’
properties.
Currently Danny has
extended his love for the hunt by guiding others on his ground and
planting the seeds of addiction in those he guides.
Danny owns and operates Southeast Iowa Whitetail Trophies.

When
not hunting, Danny can be found at his “day job”, where he is an
engineer for The Winegard
Co.
in
Burlington
,
Iowa
.
He also loves spending time with friends on the golf course and
working on home improvement projects with his family.
Danny is married and has 3 boys who he hopes will develop the same passion for the outdoors as he has. |
