Tony Montoya

My name is Tony Montoya, and I’m proud to call the good ol’ city of Waco, Texas, home. My love for hunting started at an early age, sparked by countless outdoor adventures with my father and brothers. Whether we were sitting beside a quiet pond listening to the sound of duck wings cutting through the air, or posted along a tree line waiting for dove to whistle by, the outdoors became part of who I am. We were always in the woods - exploring, scouting, and learning about game like deer, hogs, rabbits, and birds. I still remember the very first time I sat in a tree stand before sunrise, watching the world wake up. Seeing God’s creation come alive in that moment, I was hooked for life. Since then, hunting hasn’t just been something I do - it’s been a way of life. I’ve hunted all across the state of Texas, from North to South, East to West, and along the way, I’ve gained countless experiences, made lifelong friends, created unforgettable memories, and learned the true art of hunting. Over the years, I’ve taken thousands of invasive feral hogs and spent countless nights on tree lines calling in and dragging off coyotes. Some of my most meaningful memories have been made alongside my sons - Tony, Aiden, and Ian - listening to the howl of a coyote echo through the night or the deep grunt of a big boar moving in close. Those moments are what it’s all about. I was first introduced to night hunting by my younger brother, Austin Montoya, while managing predator numbers and controlling feral hog populations. I’ll never forget the first time I looked through an ATN Thor HD thermal over ten years ago. From that moment on, the way I hunted changed forever. Since then, I’ve successfully harvested thousands of hogs and hundreds of coyotes, helping protect crops, land, and livestock across Central Texas. These predators cost landowners and ranchers thousands of dollars each year in lost crops and animals - sheep, goats, chickens, calves, and even small horses - and I take pride in doing my part. I rely on gear that performs when it counts, which is why I choose ATN Optics. Their cutting-edge technology, proven reliability, and crystal-clear imagery give me the confidence to make smart, ethical decisions and succeed on every hunt.
