Meet the Owner
Danny Rodkey is the owner and founder of Hill Country Hunter. A proud Boerne native, Danny grew up exploring the great outdoors, hunting and fishing across the breathtaking landscapes of the Texas Hill Country. From early mornings in the deer blind to casting lines in the Guadalupe River, he’s built a lifetime of cherished memories in the wild.
Danny is a graduate of Texas A&M University, Class of 2023, holding a B.S. in Economics. His passion for the outdoors, paired with his business acumen, led him to create Hill Country Hunter—a brand dedicated to celebrating the rich hunting and outdoor traditions of the region.
At Hill Country Hunter, our mission is simple: to share the beauty, adventure, and timeless traditions of the Texas Hill Country so that everyone—seasoned outdoorsmen and newcomers alike—can experience and cherish the pursuit. Whether it's through our gear, content, or community, we’re here to inspire and support those who share our passion for the great outdoors.
Founder of Deer Dust
Collin Gaston, owner of Waterstone Pool and Patio, is the creator of Deer Dust—the original alfalfa-based attractant designed to enhance your feeder’s effectiveness. A proud Boerne native and an avid outdoorsman, Collin has always been passionate about wildlife and land management.
In 2023, he saw an opportunity to improve upon what already works well for grazing exotics—alfalfa—and developed Deer Dust as an easy-to-use, highly effective attractant for hunters and landowners alike.
With a deep appreciation for the land and wildlife, both Collin and Danny remain committed to creating innovative solutions that help fellow hunters and conservationists maximize their feeding programs while keeping things natural and effective.
