UA pipefitter Trent Stavely sets his sights on a trophy buck on this week’s episode of Brotherhood Outdoors.
Union pipefitter Trent Stavely of Birch Run, Michigan, journeys to Illinois in pursuit of trophy whitetail bucks when he appears in an episode of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) Brotherhood Outdoors television series airing the week of Oct. 22 on Sportsman Channel.
Stavely, a member of UA Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 85, was chosen to appear on the show based on his passion for his profession, his love of the great outdoors and his pride in carrying on a rich family tradition by being part of the union brotherhood.
“Being union runs in my blood,” he says. “My father, uncle and grandfather were all pipefitters, and other family members belonged to unions as well. Being a union member means more to me than words can explain.”
A diehard whitetail hunter, Stavely jumped at the chance to travel to the legendary hunting grounds of Illinois to join South Fork Outfitting in search of a mature buck. And when the hunt takes an unexpected turn, he switches gears and heads out on Lake Michigan for an epic fishing expedition.
Catch all the exciting action when Stavely’s episode airs Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. Eastern, or when it re-airs Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., Saturday at 1:30 a.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Watch as Stavely’s whitetail hunt takes an unexpected twist.
