About the Guide

605 Waterfowl Outfitters operates in the heart of South Dakota’s Central Flyway, offering premier guided hunts across proven private land. Founded by passionate waterfowlers Drew Troester and Justin McLaughlin, the operation was built to deliver high-volume, high-integrity hunting with no shortcuts. With a relentless work ethic and an obsession with detail, this team scouts every field, sets every spread, and hunts alongside every client. From zero-degree mornings to warm fall days, they know how to adapt and produce action.

Specializing in fall duck and goose combo hunts, spring snow goose migrations, and early-season Canada goose hunts, 605 hunts are designed for serious waterfowlers and first-timers alike. From heated A-frames and brushed blinds to big-feed decoy setups and aggressive calling, every aspect of the hunt is built to put birds in your face. Whether you're chasing your first flock or piling into a 100-bird morning, each hunt is structured to be safe, productive, and unforgettable.

What sets 605 Waterfowl apart is a commitment to the grind. You're not just a number in a booking queue—you’re hunting with the same guys who’ve lived in the blinds, tracked the migration, and put in the preseason work. With top-tier gear, a professional attitude, and a passion for helping clients make memories, this is a no-BS waterfowl experience built on results, honesty, and trust.
