Tyler Fenton

From a young age, Tyler Fenton fell in love with watching dogs work. Growing up, he owned several dogs, but none quite scratched the itch that upland hunting had planted in his heart. Guided by his father, who raised and hunted over Brittanys, and by longtime bird hunting mentor and guide Tony Holifield, Tyler developed a deep appreciation for the breed and the traditions that surround the sport.

Eventually, Tyler purchased a Brittany from Mr. Tony, and from that moment the addiction began. Like many bird hunters, Tyler believes the greatest part of any hunt isn’t the birds themselves, but watching a good dog do what it was born to do.

Today, Tyler’s passion extends beyond the field. With two boys of his own, he holds a deep desire to invest in the next generation. As a guide at Mississippi Upland, his goal is not only to introduce young hunters to the excitement of upland hunting, but also to lead them toward a life centered on Christ. For Tyler, preserving the traditions of bird hunting and sharing his faith go hand in hand, making every hunt an opportunity to build lasting memories and meaningful relationships.

Jacob’s passion for upland bird hunting began unexpectedly during a turkey hunting trip to Pennsylvania. While in camp, he was invited to try pheasant hunting for the first time. One hunt was all it took—he was hooked. Since that day, Jacob has dedicated countless hours to pursuing upland birds behind talented bird dogs and immersing himself in the traditions of the sport.

A devoted German Shorthaired Pointer enthusiast, Jacob enjoys training, hunting, and watching bird dogs do what they were bred to do. His passion for upland hunting has taken him across the country, and each year he looks forward to traveling to Kansas and Wisconsin in pursuit of wild pheasant, quail, and grouse. Whether walking a Kansas shelterbelt, chasing grouse through northern timber, or introducing others to the sport, Jacob appreciates every opportunity to spend time outdoors with good dogs and great company.

For Jacob, upland hunting is about much more than harvesting birds—it’s about the friendships, memories, and experiences created in the field. His enthusiasm for the sport continues to grow with every season, and he enjoys sharing that passion with fellow hunters and newcomers alike.
