Matt, Mike, and Jarrad,
I wanted to write and thank you once again for your excellent guide service. I've been hunting waterfowl for 20+ years but always over water. I always wanted to try field hunting for Canada geese but really didn't know where to start. I knew I didn't have the time to hassle with scouting, gaining permission to hunt private land or the resources to purchase the expensive field decoys needed besides learning how to effectively use a call. I decided to give your service a try, you did not disappoint!
My brother & I signed up for your day and a half hunt. It was a busy weekend and we started out in a field that had been previously producing but happened to be slow that morning. One of your other fields was where the geese wanted to be on that morning and to my surprise our guides said we were quickly packing it up and heading to the active field. I was impressed, he could of just let us sit there hoping & waiting for some action. It was apparent our guides wanted us to be successful, get our geese & have some fun. Well we got our geese and were privileged to be part of a group that downed 30 geese that day! The following morning was no different, the heated pits kept us comfortable, the large decoy spread combined with excellent calling had the birds committed feet down and in our faces and the group ended up with another 20+ geese by 11:00am. WOW! What a fun weekend, I was hooked. It certainly ranks as one of the more memorable waterfowl hunts I have had!
I have hunted with you twice since that weekend and you have consistently proved to me that you are committed to providing a top notch guide service. I highly recommend you to anyone wanting a carefree, exciting, birds in your face, world class goose hunt. Thanks Top Gun Guide Service!

Saint Paul, MN. Matt, Our hunt was very enjoyable. You guys worked really hard to get the geese to where they needed to be. I really admire the amount of effort you guys put into the hunt and making everyone's experience enjoyable. We put the smack down on 24 birds on Sunday and got some great video footage. I hope to be back next year and years to come. Good Hunting, Murral Stark Buck Gartner Calls Matt,
I am not suure if you remember us or not, we
hunted the opening four days of 2005 in Mo. We
had a terrific time and would like to hunt with
you again. Maryland is within driving distance
for us. Look forward to hearing from you.
Ernie and Lanny Matt:
I just wanted to thank you and your guides for the great hunt last month and for not increasing my fee once you discovered I was a former Jaguar. It was awesome and the guides all did a great job. Next year, I would like to bring my brother from Michigan and a couple of other guys from Texas. We will be booking no less than a tree day hunt. Thanks again, Derek Hello Mike, Matt & Jarrad,
If you remember, I tried to hunt with you guys the
last 3 days in feb., but had difficulty walking to
the blinds,loosing my boots in the gumbo,requiring
a 4 wheeler to be rescued.....What a pain I was!!!!
I would like to book a 6 day hunt the last of
February 2008, if I would be welcomed. If not, I
completely understand.
My goal is to loose weight and get into better
shape but I'll still have problems with my lungs
not being able to function very well and may
require a ride to the blind.
Please let me know how you guys feel about me
hunting with you.
Many Thanks, Matt:
Gary Vergin and I enjoyed our hunt in the Huron,
SD area. We found “Top-Gun” is Top-Notch as far
as we are concerned! You work hard for your
clients. Without hesitation, we will recommend
you to our friends and most likely be repeat
customers this fall in Rochester, MN.
A few words about our guide Spike:
• He has a passion for the work
• He keeps the hunt organized and
disciplined
• He knows what he is doing
• He is fun to hunt with and most important
of all, he is a decent person
While hunting, Spike talked about hunting in
Wyoming and I promised I would send him the URL
for a map package of the state. Here it is
www.maptrails.com. I have hunted Wyoming every
year for the past 26 years and next to my rifle
it is the most valuable tool I have.
Thanks again for a good time

| | ducks in Manitoba | | message: | I was on one of your snow goose hunts in
Missouri, with Jim Tetzloff. I was one of the
old guys that got into a bunch of geese, with
Mike and Dan. I want to say that I really
enjoyed the hunt, and I thought that the
accomodations were great. Hunted with Matt, last
year, in SD. Had another wonderful hunt.
Would like to know more about ducks in Manitoba.
Am interested in hunting on water as well as
field hunting. Where are you located in Manitoba?
Keep up the good work, your hunts are of very
high quality. |
| PINTAILS | | message: | i would like to thank you for a awsome hunt on

i know its all up to mother nature just a guess
would be good if you could i would like to come
down for 3 days so let me know please and
thanks for a great snow hunt i will be back for
that again you guys are great |
Matt, Thank you for your reply, especially since your days must now be very long. I have arranged to go with one of your competitors. When I first spoke with him he was not able to accommodate me. I asked for the name of another outfitter that was good and reliable. He told me there weren't many he would recommend but Matt Kostka, at Top Gun, was a very good outfitter. Due to a variety of circumstances, it became possible for him to add my party of two. I appreciate your response. If I snow goose hunt again in 2008, I will see if I can arrange to hunt with you. Thanks again and I hope your season is going well. Dick
| | Hunt | | message: | Want to let you guys know we had a great time,
and even though we didn't have the 100 bird day
shoot everyone is looking for, we have found the
outfitter that we plan on continuing to use to
get that 100 bird day. Josh was in amazment at
the number of birds that he was watching and
shooting at, and with his love for waterfowl
hunting, he might have found something to try
after he graduates next Jan., Jerry made him feel
like one of the guys and not a 17 year old
hunting with his dad, on the drive home he keep
talking about helping out next spring if you guys
are looking for a young helper. Jerry took good
care of us and will do Top Gun good as a young
guide. Thanks Again Al |
Matt, Mike, and Mark,
Thanks for a great day of hunting (12/20/2006. We
all had a good time and even though the the daily
bag was less than we hoped, we shot what came in
and we certainly saw plenty of geese. Now if you
guys could only control the weather!!!!
Please put me on your mailing list as the spring
trips sound like something I would certainly
consider.
Bill
Matt, Mike, & John- Thank you so much for a great trip south! I had a wonderful time and hopefully you’ll let me come back and hunt with you guys again… I’ve also attached the pictures- let me know if they come through okay. Thanks again & keep in touch! Alicia Hi guys,
I hope your busy killing snow geese !!!! I'm sure you remember me I'm Jeff with the group ( 12 ) that came down from the Milwaukee area. I'm the fun loving bald headed guy. The reason I'm writing is I gave a neck collared bird to Jarrad, ( black collar ). I was wondering if you ever found out where the bird came from and how old it was ???? I'm curious as I've shot banded Canada's before. Hey also, WE ARE COMING BACK !!!!!! I want to bring my 2 sons with also. How many of us can you accomodate ????? We are looking at the first Sat, Sun Mon in march for the 2 1/2 day package. I had a great time with you guys and can't keep the smile off my face everytime I think about our hunt down there. I hope we were of some amusument to you also. If you ever need references, I'll be glad to help you out!!!
Regards,
Jeff Kratochvil
