MEET US

JR7 guides are like none other! We constantly ensure the safety of our customers, while focusing on natural resources, & future generations! Each of us grew up outdoors, became addicted, fell in love, & just want to support conservation the right/ethical way!

PROPERTY MANAGER

Justin Spaniel- I am thankful to have grown up in the outdoors. Farming crops & raising cattle is the livelihood of my family. This way of life taught me many things. Besides all the crop, soil & equipment knowledge, I was also taught to hunt & fish. To share it with others while coaching newcomers what it means to respect our resources, land, & heritage passed down. Guiding successful trips is great... The memories shared together outdoors is even better!

ALL AROUND GUIDE / COOK

WATERFOWL / WING GUIDE

Kelton Starnes- I was born 1997. Through the years growing up I was taught the many fundamentals of hunting, and fishing by my grandfather. It wasn’t until I graduated high school, that I bought my first Shotgun, and really got into Bird Hunting. I had a buddy from high school that took me both dove and duck hunting one year and I have been hooked ever since. Now I devote what I’ve learned and all that I know into migratory game birds, especially waterfowl. I've been doing this for about 6 years. From public to private, I’ve seen a lot of what Texas has to offer. I hope to give you the best experience no matter what! For me it’s all about enjoying the journey. It’s not always about shooting limits, it’s more than that. It’s about getting people outside, growing friendship's and being able to see the excitement on people’s faces when those birds come in. I love what I do, and I love to share it with families & friends. Coal and I can’t wait to see y’all in a duck blind!

CAPTAIN / FISHING GUIDE

Nick Dixon- I was born in 1990 & immediately developed a passion for the outdoors. as a young child growing up i was always outside. I was blessed to have parents and grandparents who constantly took me hunting & fishing! My fondest childhood memories were with my family outdoors. While my dad and grandpa have since passed, I feel them with me each time I wet a line, or climb into the stand. As I've grown older I've noticed less people with a passion for what God & our country has given us the right to be a part of. It is our obligation as men and women of the outdoors to teach conservation so our future generations may have the opportunity to enjoy the wild like we have, making memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you so we may share our love and passion for the outdoors together! Landing a boatload of fish is always a plus! Thank you & God Bless!

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER/OWNER

Jonathan Rust- In the woods or on the water since I could crawl. Getting our future generations outdoors means the world to me. Past generations have ensured my right to hunt/fish & I am so grateful to be able to share/continue the tradition. I believe my calling is to provide a clean, safe place for others to be able to enjoy, while educating the importance of conservation & our rights as outdoorsmen/women!
I served in the U.S. Army (OEF Veteran), after, worked as a Federal Park Ranger for the Bureau of Land Management patrolling 1.3 million acres throughout Idaho, Nevada, & Montana. Since returning home, I have been blessed to be with my family, while serving each of you in the outdoors daily! I look forward to hosting each of you in what I call, "my church"!
