Opie After A Successful Morning Hunt

Adam “Opie” Kujacznski

Founder / Pro Staff

I dont think there is anything more amazing than being out in nature and enjoying all the wonderful creations that we have in this world.

My passions include fly fishing for Trout and Steelhead, predator hunting and archery (I really enjoy shooting things with my bow). But there is no place that I would rather be then 30 feet up in my lone wolf climber chasing monster whitetail bucks.

I have been immersed in hunting and fishing for as long as i can remember and my passion for the sports seems to grow every year. I try and travel as much as possible to explore new hunting and fishing experiences and love meeting new friends who enjoy the outdoors as much as i do.

PT With A Nice Spring Run Steelie

Luke “PT” Kujacznski

Founding Partner / Pro Staff

I think that the phrase ” I love being outdoors” would be a gross understatement of how I feel. I would spend every waking minute outside fishing and hunting if I could, and if there was a way to capture my sleeping minutes I would do that as well.

My passions are chasing Steelhead all year long, Duck and Upland bird hunting as well as some summer trout fishing. I have two amazing daughters who I am teaching how to love the outdoors as much as I do.

My nickname “pt” is short for price tag, I have an obsession with all things gear and I am always looking for the next best thing, not just to have it but to see how it will affect my time outdoors. Because for me it doesn’t have to be the “perfect” day for me to enjoy my time outside, I just need the right gear, because for me any day spent in the woods or on the river is the perfect day.

Tex With His 157" Monster Archery Buck

Jesse “Tex” Shaver

Founding Partner / Pro Staff

I love the outdoors and everything that comes along with it.

My passions are hunting monster Whitetail bucks with my Mathews bow, calling predators, gunpowder and cooking up some mean eats over some hot charcoal and smoke on the grill. I spend most of my time out in nature scouting and exploring along with working on gear and tuning my equipment. I am always looking for the next best piece of gear or the next best gear deal.

I was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age, spending most of my time outside with my Dad. I have been hunting and fishing ever since I have been able to carry my Red Rider along side my Father. My love for the outdoors has continued to grow over the last 20 or more years and has turned into a severe addiction!

The Rocket With An Alaskan Ocean Run Sockey

Richard “The Rocket” Butcher

Pro Staff

Growing up in a small town in southwest Michigan my hunting career started with a pellet rifle and a little long bow. Long hours were spent hunting around my parents 3 acres, hurling shots at anything that would hold still long enough.

My passion for hunting really kicked in when I was 20 years old when I started bowhunting and shot my first deer. Since then archery has been my hunting focus. Every fall you can find me in a tree stand trying to slip an arrow behind the shoulder of a whitetail. My bowhunting motto is “I shoot does”!

I enjoy everything archery, from hunting and 3D leagues to spot leagues and bow fishing. My passion for archery takes up most of my time, but when I can find the time I also enjoy fly fishing as well as a lil bobber fishing. I recently started duck hunting on an adventure to Oklahoma and last summer fished in the great state of Alaska during the salmon run. I love the outdoors and spending any amount of time out in it.

Rooney After A Successful Field Hunt

Josh “Rooney” Dickerson

Pro Staff

I grew up in a small town in SW Michigan and for as long as I can remember, I was either shooting something or getting a line wet with my whoever I could get to take me. I hated being indoors. My hunting life started probably like most others, shooting anything that ran or flew. I remember doing a lot of rabbit hunting while growing up and then started deer hunting at age 12 with my Bear compound bow. I didn’t have a lot of success because the buck fever really got to me. As soon as I got my hands on my first gun, a Remington 870 Wingmaster, I was hunting ducks at the local sewer ponds behind my house. I had a dozen cheap water keel decoys but I harvested a few birds when the time was right.

After getting married, starting a business, and starting a family in the early 2000s, my time was limited so my deer hunting activity subsided and I started to focus on waterfowling. Jeff, a friend of mine from high school asked me to join him and his crew in South Dakota one year and the rest is history. I spent 8 years in a row in mid November in South Dakota and learned a lot from those guys. Now I’m addicted.

We recently moved to Oklahoma and little did I know it but I landed smack in the middle of 2 rivers that hold thousands of birds during the late fall and winter months. I continue to learn the patterns of waterfowl and enjoy hunting them in the field as well as in my boat. Recently, my son Aidan has started to join me hunting waterfowl. He’s not old enough to carry a gun but he just loves watching those birds fall out of the sky and watching Cody, my 5 year old lab, retrieve them with ease.

Hoss With A Pile Of Greenheads

Tommy “HOSS” Stiefel

I really can’t get enough of the outdoors. I shot my first deer on my cousin’s ranch in Texas and have been hooked ever since. My two most favorite are bow hunting and waterfowl. I live in Eastern Oklahoma where there are plenty of both.
