If you’re lookin’ for Hank Jr. during the holidays, he says he’ll either be in Montana, Tennessee, Alabama, or Florida, but no matter where he ends up, “It’ll all be good.”
And how does Bocephus choose his Christmas destination? Well, he’s quick to tell you that it depends on where and if the fish are bitin’, if any ducks are there, or if he can hunt for elk.
The outdoorsman in Hank enjoys hunting during the holidays, but the family man enjoys picking out special gifts for his children, just like any dad would…

Hank Jr. – likes to give gifts that mean something :22
“I use to start on the 23rd; I’ve gotten a lot better about that. I really do enjoy that quite a lot. I put a lot of thought into that. Instead of something from a store, maybe like my daughters or whatever…A big shoulder bag made out of an elk from Montana, that daddy got…that’s gonna mean something one day. I like those kinds of gifts.”
