Top Gun Guides traces its roots back to 1968, when Davy Daniels started guiding waterfowl hunts on trusted farms across Southeast Louisiana. What began as a handshake agreement between Davy and friend Elton Kennedy evolved into a professional operation managing over 10,000 acres of private land throughout the region.
In the early 2000s, Davy's son returned home from college baseball to run the family business, bringing fresh energy while preserving the honest, hardworking values that made Top Gun special from day one. Today, the operation runs 8–10 pit blinds during regular duck season and expands to 15–20 groups per day during conservation goose season.
