Gunslinger -
Meet 'Ol Gunslinger, a local legend. The former bar owner and successful
businessman has very little education, swears he can't read or write
and always has a somewhat believable tale to tell. Gunny is always
ready to show you a prime location to fish or hunt and is renowned
for his ability to stay one step ahead of the local game wardens.
A true colorful character who will add something special to your
stay

joys. Don is a key player in managing and monitoring our pheasant habitat

Chad Osthus -
Need a guide with great personality? Chad's the man. When Chad is in
the field with his Labs (up to three) you can be assured you will see the birds,
harvesting the birds is your job (if you can hit them). Chad loves his hunting
and fishing, but in his off time you will find him at the mortuary doing those
undertaker things. We don't know of anybody who will work as hard as Chad
to make sure that you are satisfied with your hunt. Truly a dedicated people
pleaser and is our most popular guide amongst the hunters.

flush and retrieve game that you are after. John has a special know-how in
getting his dogs to produce the unexpected when it comes to bird hunting and has a
special ability of keeping your hunt organized. John works hard in getting to
know you and very sincere in providing you with nothing but a quality hunt.
