Meet Our Guides

Hi, I am Bryan Sombke, together with my brother Bryce,we have co-founded of this operation with the intent of prviding our clients with a quality hunting experience. I have lived near Ferney, SD all my life. I have worked on our family farm as far back as I can remember. I have been lucky enough to live on a family ranch and to hunt the land that I work on.

I have had a passion for the outdoors ever since I was a young kid going hunting with my dad. Hunting and fishing were something that I could never get enough of. My brother Bryce and I have done it all when it comes to hunting and fishing. Every spare minute we had we were out in the field or on the lake. This passion has grown into an obsession and I couldn't think of a better occupation than taking people out hunting and having a good time doing it.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to be able to diversify my hunting capabilities throughout the years. I have always pheasant hunted and deer rifle hunted, but about five years ago I wanted to challenge myself with bow hunting. Bow hunting is now a great passion of mine because of the challenge it possesses. I have now traveled outside of just deer hunting by pursuing antelope and turkeys with a bow. I have also picked up the sport of bow fishing.

I also breed labs for hunting. I have just finished out two labs that will be working during next year's hunting season. Our dogs have impressive pedigrees and show it while hunting. In addition to starting this business, I am attending Northern State University to receive my bachelors' degree in Business Management.

Hi, my name is Bryce Sombke and like my twin brother, Bryan, I am completely obsessed with the outdoors. I co-founded this outfitting company with my brother. We have been hunting and fishing as far back as I can remember. I started hunting with my dad when I was just a young boy and continue to enjoy being in the outdoors just as much as I did then. Hunting and fishing mean a lot to me and I don't know where I would be right now without them in my life. Guiding people while hunting and fishing has always been one of my dreams and that dream has now come true. I get the opportunity to do this for our customers and I couldn't be happier. I have lived near Ferney, SD my entire life and there are few people that know the country like my brother and I. We know where the animals are and where they are going to be. My hunting background consists of deer archery hunting, rifle hunting, waterfowl hunting, ice fishing, open water fishing, bow fishing, and antelope hunting with a bow and rifle. I have bow hunted for five years now and have harvested three bucks, and seven does. I really like to meet new people and I like to have a great time while hunting and I also love to see everyone else having a good time.

Hi, I am Austin Clark (A.J.). I am originally from the Wilmar, MN area. I moved out to Veblen, SD with my parents and my sister when I was twelve years old. I grew up trapping with my dad and after the move to South Dakota I began hunting and fishing much more. I started out hunting ducks, geese, and deer. A year after the move I started to take advantage of the pheasant hunting in South Dakota. I continued to hunt all through high school, and eventually added archery hunting.

In college I met Bryce and Bryan who shared the same passion for the outdoors as I do. After meeting them I have enjoyed the privelage of hunting with them on their private ranch.

I am also a second year student at Northern State University. I am studying wildlife management and one day plan to work with the SD Game, Fish, and Parks Department.
