Meet & Greet Brian Quaca of Sportsman Channel's "Pigman"
Sat, Sept 9 (11am-2pm)
Sun, Sept 10 (11am-3pm)
A loud personality and over-the-top hunting style gives life to his hog-lovin’ TV hunting series, Pigman (Sportsman Channel).
Born in Mexia, Texas just a few hours South of Dallas, Brian Quaca was raised in the footsteps of his Dad, Tom "Dapper" Quaca, as an avid outdoorsman. In the midst of his adolescence, non-indigenous pigs were quickly becoming a problem in Central Texas. Locals in the area distinctly recall the Brian Quaca they knew as a willing and able teen motivated to self-eradicating their oversize pest problem even from a young age. Fearless as though he seemed, neighbors would call upon Tom “Dapper” Quaca to send his boy over with every intention of taking care of business. And so the young man’s eagerness for hog-driven adrenaline rushes began as a delicacy compared to the deer and turkey hunts he had been used to. This was his specialty, and people acknowledged him because of it. His desire to find more efficient and accurate ways to handle the growing pig population eventually led him into a trade of a riflesmith.
Fresh out of trade school, Brian Quaca quickly gained a reputation as a respectable riflesmith who could turn an average rifle on ranchland into a superior and deadly-accurate weapon capable of stopping any animal in its tracks. His clients were captivated by the high-energy hunts he engaged himself in. It didn’t take long for a few return customers to request the rifle and the riflesmith on their next hunt. Guiding his clients in Texas on these monster hogs he spoke of, they witnessed first-hand the intensity Quaca possessed during his missions to capture or kill pigs at all costs including his own personal injury. These clients and their associates began booking hunts with the man they call “Pig Man”. His days as a part-time used car salesman and part-time riflesmith were quickly drawing to an end, his notoriety as an individual and his reputation as an excellent marksman and archer grew, and the brand and character began to develop into the outdoor personality we know as "Pig Man"
