Established in 2003, Waterfowl Assassins has a proven record of experience and is a trusted professional waterfowl outfitter. We scout daily to ensure success, use the best equipment available, and our experienced guides work hard to ensure your hunt is both successful and memorable.

Based out of Maryville, Missouri, we’re able to move quickly to stay on the birds throughout their migration.

Owner and Lead Guide JR Borchelt has been hunting since he was knee-high to a grasshopper growing up in northern Illinois. While his family primarily hunted deer, they found an opportunity to chase Canada Geese as well. When Borchelt relocated to NW Missouri he found the area to be full of waterfowl opportunity and was able to further pursue his passion for hunting ducks, geese, and what really gets him going – snow geese.

JR is most intrigued by the challenge waterfowl hunting presents. Each day is different and brings a new challenge to figure out what the birds want to see. Considering many of the waterfowl migrating through NW Missouri have already flown hundreds or thousands of miles, convincing them to stop at our spreads for food or rest is always an exhilarating experience. And while this is always challenging, being able to leverage years of experience helps tip the odds a little more in the hunters’ favor. Big spreads and saucy locations never hurt, either!

When you have an unshakably deep passion for waterfowl hunting you inevitably find ways to incorporate it into every aspect of your life. For Borchelt, he channeled his passion for waterfowl hunting and skills learned from years in the field into a successful waterfowl outfitting operation that has been running strong since 2003. Waterfowl Assassins Guide Service exists to provide clients with successful and enjoyable waterfowl hunting adventures. Unique locations, good equipment, great memories.

JR and Waterfowl Assassins are committed to continuing the tradition and passing on the heritage of waterfowl hunting. They provide special opportunities to active military and veterans, and youth hunters as well. Whether it’s fast-paced duck hunting over flooded corn in Missouri, hunting Giant Canada Geese in Minnesota, or intense spins of snow geese in Arkansas, join us for your next waterfowl adventure!
