By these experiences, we have taken some of the best personal services and hunting techniques in the industry and given them a home with us right here in Southwest Oklahoma.

Our main goal is to provide each and every hunter with the most memorable and successful trophy hunting experience possible. We keep our camp numbers small and personal which allows us to run our business with quality, honesty, and integrity just as a trophy outfitter should be.

South Dakota

Nick P

Nick is a very passionate waterfowl hunter. He’s been chasing waterfowl for over fifteen years and has guided snow geese for over six years from Canada all the way down to Mississippi. “Snow geese, in my opinion, are one of the most challenging birds to pursue.” Because they migrate in such large numbers, they’re one of the most challenging species to decoy. Other than time he spends guiding waterfowl (9 months of every year), you’ll find Nick fishing salmon runs, hunting other game, or working on a boat in Alaska.

He says, “I live to hunt and fish, but snow geese are my passion. This is why I want to put my eleven years of decoying snows to work for you!”
