"I am all in for Hunter Nation! It's a great group of American Hunters that love and cherish God, family, country, hunting, and conservation." - Craig Morgan
Over the years, Craig Morgan has come to think of his career like a house, hand built over time and resting on a firm foundation. Faithful Christian. Dedicated family man. Distinguished veteran of the US Army. Those are the pillars that have allowed the chart-topping singer, songwriter and live performer to add room after room to his house – now more like a sprawling mansion. But with God, Family, Country, his 2020 album for Broken Bow Records, the Nashville native admits it felt like he was putting on the final touches.

Denise Welker
Brian and I have been married for 46 years, we have 5 children and 11 grandchildren. What brings us together is our love for the outdoors and time we can spend together enjoying all that includes.
I’m the CEO of Welker Flow Measurement Systems, our son Ellis is the president and runs the day to day operations. I’m also part of the Board of Directors for Welker Inc, with our son Josh running the daily operations.
I grew up in a non hunting family, but I was a Girl Scout to get my fix for spending time enjoying what all God has provided for us to explore. Once I met Brian in High school and realized his passion for all things in nature and adventures to be enjoyed outdoors, he was the guy for me. We married in 1977 and started our family right away.
Living an outdoor lifestyle came naturally to us, besides raising the 4 sons and a daughter, Brian introduced me to the world of exotic creatures. This world came to include multiple reptiles ( over 70 snakes, spiders, turtles and lizards ) and various sheep, goats, pigs, and deer species as pets on our 10 acres in Sugarland. That being said we also had dogs and cats for everyone in the family. Of course most of these creatures were house pets in some form or another.
I started hunting with Brian and our kids once we had a third son and I understand in Tx it’s a long season, so in order for me to be included I had better become a hunter. So my hunting skills and heart were developed along with our kids, it made for some fun and exciting learning experiences.
So I did get bite by the hunting bug and Brian‘s passion eventually became mine also. I still receive such joy sharing the outdoors with our kids and grandkids, but mostly Brian and I feel blessed to share our hunting lifestyle with each other.
I’m a Life member of Safari Club International, SCI sables, multiple SCI chapters, Dallas Safari Club, National Rifle Association, the NRA’s Women Leadership Forum, Texas Deer Association, and Texas Trophy Hunters Association. I’m a founding SCIF Hunter Legacy Fund 100 member and currently serve on the board and I’m also a member of the SCIF Lion and Shield program at the Diamond level. I was honored to serve on the International Wildlife Conservation Council under Interior Secretary Zinke.
We also donated to Hunter Nation in the beginning, and also Blood Origins.
I was selected to become a SCI Diana award winner in 2017 and since have earned the World Hunting Ring this past February of 2024.
Brian and I were selected as winners for the SCIF Beretta Award in 2020.
Currently, I Chair the SCI’s Women Go Hunting initiative, and have been severing on the Weatherby award committee since 2020.
Mine and Brian’s commitment to the future of wildlife, conservation and hunting is one we are happy to be part of so our children, grandchildren and future generations can enjoy the wild, beautiful and exciting nature that is Gods creation.
