“Had an awesome experience with these guys. I had some buddies come up to NY from TX and Eli was all about it. Great price for a great hunt. Both Eli and Jordan were friendly and conversational, would recommend them to anyone.”

“My friend and I booked a trip with Eli on opening day. We had the greatest time. We hit our limits each day and had a great time. We also got a banded bird. These guys really are great at making sure we had a great time. We ran out of rounds the first day because there were so many birds and Eli and Jordan provided us with some to get us through the hunt. Also, Eli was awesome about allowing me to run my own dog and he was great at giving training and field tips for my pup.... and sneaking her a donut or two. First class trip all the way. We will definitely be back next year! If you are looking for guides that make you feel like you are hunting with your buddies, then these guys are for you."
