What clients
are saying

“If you want an exciting outdoor experience in regarding to slamming red fish and speckled trout, smoking ducks & geese, or even night vision hog hunting, I highly recommend Run n Gun Adventures. I have experienced fishing, waterfowl and hog hunting with the most personable and reliable outfitters in Texas. On top of the spectacular outdoor adventures, the beautiful lodge is extremely accommodating and relaxing. You can enjoy hot meals in the kitchen while watching the football game or fishing at the pier below… Run n Gun Adventures is also more than just a first class outfitter, they are some of the most giving people I know on earth. They support charity organizations, such as Sky High for St. Jude who supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the RMH of Memphis every year! Run N Gun is always my personal top choice in outfitters.”

“I took a group of buddies duck hunting with Run-N-Gun and it was unbelievable. My group, which included some guys who had never even been hunting before, had a great time. Our guides did whatever it took to put us on the ducks, and we shot plenty of them. I can’t wait to do it again next year.”

Clifton Karam

“Whether taking clients or your son on his first duck hunt, a person could not ask for a better experience. I have had a chance to hunt a lot of places over the years, RNG stands out!!!! “

Curt Dalton

“Daniel, just wanted to thank you again for such a great trip. From our first year hunting with you, to this year (our 2nd) Run N Gun has shown our group of hunters an irreplaceable experience in south Texas. This year we added a Crane hunt and a pig hunt. John, our guide for the Sandhill Crane hunt was so extensively knowledgeable about the tactics and strategies for hunting cranes i cannot wait to spend another hunt with him, we had flocks decoying like you cannot imagine as well as several fly-by candidates which all provided for an unforgettable hunt. Our other new guide this year was Poth, the night vision hog hunt guide. Poth, even as a young guide, showed the kind of professional approach and safety diligence that you would expect of a 20+year seasoned guide to be known for. Your guides once again delivered the finest of the good ol boys of Texas guide services anyone could ask for. I’ve been to south Texas in December with your guides 2 years in a row, and cannot wait to add year and years of experiences with y’all in south Texas. Thank you again for such a great trip. “

“I can’t say enough good about Caleb Rush. Great kid & young man. Great attitude, work ethic and personality. Second waterfowl hunt with him and Pepper and we just had a blast. I plan on scheduling a fishing trip, to include the wife and kids, for late February or early March and would love to have Caleb guide us on Matagorda Bay.”

Dan O.

“I’ve been hunting with Nick almost every year for 10 years. He consistently guides a great hunt every year with this year being the best yet! 60 bird day is tough to top but that’s what I said 8 years ago about a 55 bird hunt with him. I’ve stayed in both lodges and definitely recommend doing so. It really makes for a way better experience. They are doing it right and always bust their ass for their clients. Looking forward to next years trip!”

Robert Mitchel

Absolutely amazing!! 2nd year in a row!! The guides, the cook, the workers and everyone associated with it are the absolute best!! You tell them what ducks you want they will be sure to put you on them!! Already booked for next year!!

Run-N-Gun Retrievers

Dog training

Nick Stillwell started training dogs at the young age of 14. He completed a HRCH and a Master title with his dog Gunner at the age of 17. After Gunner Nick stayed competitive in the hunt test world for several years with other dogs. He grew up around the dog world you can say. Nick is also a full time guide and outfitter. When it's hunting season, Nick is in the field everyday hunting ducks and geese. Nick's incredible hunting experience chasing ducks and geese all over the country really separates him from many other trainers. He has seen it all, and knows exactly how to make the perfect retriever to fit all your hunting needs. Dogs have always been his passion and he truly believes that duck hunting would not be the same with out a great retriever at his side.

"I train really great hunting dogs, plain and simple." -Nick Stillwell

If you are not sure about hunting and just want an obedient companion Nick can do that too. This will cover the basics on obedience.

Basic Hunting
Retriever

This program is a minimum 3 month program. It will first focus on introducing your retriever to the basic elements of hunting, water, birds, and guns. This also keeps it fun so the dog and Nick can make a strong bond early on in training. Once the dog is comfortable with these three important elements the trainer will move into simple obedience. This will be on-leash training, heal, sit, and stay. During obedience we will still practice marking and hunting scenarios.
 
This will include guns, water, and birds every day. This is very important when training a young dog. Once Nick feels like the dog has completed the basic obedience, he will start force fetch. Force fetch is the foundation in retriever training. After the force fetch, your dog will deliver to hand and fetch on command. But more than that, your dog will understand pressure, and this helps to set the foundation for the collar and hand signals. Nick will adjust to your dog to ensure that the force fetch is done correctly.
 
After the force fetch is completed, we will collar condition your dog and start more advanced obedience including off-leash healing and steadiness. Your companion will also be marking and doing live hunting scenarios daily. This allows Nick and the dog to test and put everything together in live training situations. After the program is completed, you will have a retriever ready to work for you in the field.

This is on a month-to-month basis. We will focus on multiple marks, hand signals, and whistle training. But beyond that, it gives Nick more time to customize your companion for your hunting needs. Every hunter is different, and hunts different terrains. For example, if you field hunt the majority of the time your dog needs to practice long distance marking and handling. If you hunt big open water your dog needs practice taking casts in the water with lots of decoys. These are just a few examples of many different hunting scenarios. How ever you hunt, Nick will customize your dog to fit your needs.
 

Facilities

Run-N-Gun retrievers prides itself in having top notch facilities to do our dog training. The kennels are very nice, four-x-twelve ft galvanized runs. The dogs have their own individual kennel with plenty of space. The kennel also has a permanent roof and concrete floors. The actual kennel sits on ten acres which is completely closed off by a dog-proof fence. There is also a four acre training pond on the grounds. Nick has a dog trailer and takes the dogs to different hunting properties to show them new terrain weekly. Dogs are cared for daily, seven days a week. They have play time everyday while the kennels are cleaned in the morning.
