Steven Hawkinson
West Sacramento, CA |
Steven Hawkinson has hunted all over the United States but calls the Pacific Flyway his home. He starts the season in the southern portion of Oregon and the Klamath Basin following the birds south to the rice country of the Sacramento Valley and vast marshes of the California Delta. He specializes in hunting the backwaters of the delta, but finds nothing more rewarding than fooling a flock of canada geese into doing something that they are already second guessing. Steve also specializes in guiding mallard and honker hunts at Garcia's Hunting Preserve located in Lincoln, California for a guided hunt with Garcia's hunting Preserve please contact Jim Garcia at (916) 652-7865. Steve is also a proud part of the Mossy Oak Brand Camo Pro Staff.
While Steve is not out chasing waterfowl he is employed with the California State Highway Patrol. |

Tyler Gullick
Chico CA |
Tyler grew up hunting northern California rice fields with his dad who introduced him to the sport. From the first time Tyler pulled thetrigger on a flock ofwidgeon, he has been hooked. His passion for the sport is ever growing, so much so that some might call it an obsession. That passion lead him to CSU Chico, in Chico, Ca where he currently resides. Schedueling classes for only Tuesdays and Thursdays is the norm in the fall for Tyler, leaving him a minimum of five days a week to hit the rice fields, refuges, or any other waterway in his mud boat in search of fowl. Tyler hunts all over California, following the ducks and geese from the Klamath Basin to the Grasslandsregion of the central valley. Tyler is often found with his 11 year old black lab,Jesse, whom has retrieved countless ducks for him. Tyler's favorite part of hunting is the final approach. When you hit the call one last time, they bank into the wind and put the feet down. Nothing better than that! |
