TRAVIS REININGER
Professional Guide
Owner/Manager of Stillwater Outfitters

I was born and raised on the Front Range of Colorado in the small farming town of Brighton. I grew up in a hunting family. My father hunted every chance he got and involved my brother and I from a very young age. I still reside here with my beautiful wife Amy, daughter Addison, and son Teagan.

I attended umpire school in 1997 after attending Western State College on a wrestling scholarship and began working my way thru the minor league system. I got the chance in 2005 to attain one of my goals in life and umpire at the Major League level. I have recently retired as a professional umpire to continue to pursue my life long dream in the outfitting industry.

I have 3 dogs -- Gauge, Max, and Cleo. Gauge, the chocolate lab, is a hunting machine and goes with me almost every day. It wouldn’t be the same without her. Max is a Great Dane and Boxer mix. He weighs 130 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog. Max goes with us to the field and helps set decoys, but as soon as the guns come out he returns to the truck and guards it for us, and looks for any lost donuts that remain there. Cleo, the black lab, is a new hunting pup in training. It's too soon to tell if he'll be able to compete with Guage.

I grew up hunting waterfowl, elk, deer, pheasant, and turkey. I love hunting all the above, but waterfowl and archery elk is what really gets me excited. You can find me hunting about 90-100 days a year throughout the US. I generally hit 3 or 4 different states with Idaho and North Dakota being two of my favorite. It’s just hard to beat a late season Mallard hunt on the Snake River of Idaho.

CHRIS GUCCIONE
Professional Guide

I was born and raised in the small mountain town of Salida, Colorado. Growing up in the small town of Salida, there was always plenty of elk and deer to stalk after but there was very little waterfowl. My brother and I would jump shoot the Arkansas River or head down to the San Luis Valley and try our luck at decoying a green head. We would shoot a few ducks but most of the time it was nice to watch the sunrise, pick up my dozen decoys, and head home.

It wasn’t until I moved to the Front Range of Colorado in 1998 that I truly caught the waterfowl bug. I currently live in Brighton, Colorado with my beautiful wife, Amy, and my hunting buddy, Remington.

Now my winters are consumed with the thrill of ducks piling into the decoys or a flock of Canadas gliding across the cut corn field, dropping, with their feet down. I hunt waterfowl 70-80 days a year, going from North Dakota down to Nebraska and on to Idaho just looking for that thrill that I can honestly say I never get tired of.  

Living on the Front Range of Colorado, which I call the  “best kept secret for goose hunting," what more can you  want?

SHANE KINGSLEY
Professional Guide

I grew up in Colorado and couldn't think of a better place to be. I was introduced to shooting sports and shot gunning, specifically, at a very young age while working at Mile High Shooting Park pulling trap and helping in the Pro Shop -- all the while honing my eye for wing shooting. Over time, I developed a passion for hunting water fowl, goose hunting first and foremost. My passion for calling and hunting geese is obvious every time I take to the field. Along with my guiding duties, I head up all outside operations for Stillwater including coordinating, locating and building blinds on Stillwater's 70 plus properties.

CRAIG REININGER
Professional Guide

I grew up in Brighton, Colorado, and waterfowl hunting is what I love to do. I think the only thing better is spending time with my family. I married my high school sweetheart, Krista, and we have two wonderful children — Owen and baby Samantha. My chocolate lab, Trip, enjoys hunting almost as much as I do.

I earned my degree in horticulture from Colorado State University and now work for the Arbor Valley Nursery north of Brighton. I love my job, but when I get the chance to sneak away and guide a group of hunters, I jump at the chance. I have a lifetime of experience as a caller and hunter. I compete in many calling competitions across the US -- placing in the top 3 in numerous contests and still improving every day. I'm known as a dependable guide that has many repeat groups that ask specifically for me, and I love hunting with them time and time again. Not only do I get out of work, I also get the chance to be out in the field and do what I love.

JOSH MONTAGUE
Professional Guide

I grew up in Lakewood, Colorado, although most of my spare time was spent in the windsor area hunting and fishing on numerous farms owned by relatives. My dad, Steve, has had me in the pit since I was 4 and I still can't get enough of it. Theres nothing more exciting than fooling some big Canadas or a flight of mallards, and watching them come to the decoys and calls.

I have also competed and placed in numerous waterfowl calling competitions, but calling for judges don't even compare to calling geese. It never gets old. When I'm not guiding waterfowl hunts for Stillwater, I can be found in the hills chasing trophy Mule Deer or out on a lake casting for bass and walleyes. Theres nothing like being outdoors, and I'll always give 110 percent everyday I'm out there. I look forward to seeing you in the coming season!
