OUR TEAM

Matthew Piehl

Owner-Operator

"I am the owner of Dirty Bird Outfitters and when I am not chasing some kind of fowl or trying to set a hook in some fish I own and operate The Shooting Park in Horace ND. I began waterfowl hunting early in my life and it didn’t take long for it to turn into a passion of mine which has led to me hunting all over North America from the prairies of Canada to the coastal bays of Mexico!

I was born and raised in ND and will always consider it to be my favorite place to hunt whether it be early season Canada geese in August or mallards on the Missouri River in December you can't beat it and I hope to be able to bring that to everyone who hunts with us! I have hunted snow geese from Saskatchewan to Arkansas with success all along the way. It takes tremendous drive, hard work and effort to be successful in the spring migration and that is exactly what we will give you at Dirty Bird Outfitters. Waterfowl hunting is my true passion, and I can’t wait to share that with all of you!"

Nick Marcyes

Lead Guide

"I’m the lead guide at Dirty Bird Outfitters and spend as may days in the field hunting as possible. Growing up in MN and coming from a hunting family I was introduced to the outdoors at a young age. My passion for the hunt made up my whole life growing up. I went to college to get a degree in fisheries and wildlife management which brought me to where I live now in ND. I could never see myself living anywhere else. When I’m not hunting, I am constantly working on our gear to make sure it is in the best shape possible, and I help manage The Shooting Park in Horace ND. My true passion though, is waterfowl hunting, which I get to do 10 months out of the year with Dirty Bird chasing the migration from August honkers in ND to traveling down south to Arkansas to hunt specks and snows and finishing up in ND mid-May. I have been with Dirty Bird since the beginning and have watched it grow into what it has become today! Along with created many lifelong connections with people from all over! Come join us at Dirty Bird Outfitters and see the passion that we have for chasing waterfowl from the northern prairie to the southern prairie and back again."
