About Montana Bird Hunts

Casey began guiding for Montana Bird Hunts in 2016 and is now the proud owner. Casey grew up in Idaho and lives in Helena, Montana.  Casey has lived and guided both hunting and fishing all over Montana since 2006. Guiding many different rivers, and hunting all over the state has given him a bounty of experience. From horse pack trips in the wilderness to antelope on the plains. Casey runs setters, pointers and German wire-haired pointers.  Besides guiding bird hunters, Casey guides fly-fishermen in the spring and summer on the Missouri River near Craig, Montana.

“I grew up in northern Idaho hunting and fishing. Having many family ties to Montana and a love for agriculture and outfitting brought me to Helena after graduating college. I attended Boise State University where I was fortunate to compete on the wrestling team. I have been guiding, working on ranches, coaching wrestling and raising my family ever since. I love all hunting, but there is nothing like sharing a hunt with my dogs.”

Kevin made the jump from California in 1990 and since has called Livingston, Montana home for the last 25 years.  Kevin grew up fishing the banks of the Owen’s River and chasing Valley Quail with his Springer. Currently a string of 7 pointers and Cleo the Lab get the job done for him. Kevin also has a degree in the Culinary Arts so ask him some questions about cooking wild game.
