Testimonials consistently highlight Gibbs' dedication and knowledge:
"If there was a complaint, it was the hunts went all the way too fast. The Sea Ducks were hunted from a comfortable, large blind towed by his big boat out into the Sound... Amazing! Slots were all around the blind allowing one to observe the approaching birds without being seen." — Lawrence C. Gangle Jr. (hunted 23 countries, 40+ outfitters)
"Two years ago we shot very mature trophy Swans by 8:30am. The third day we also sea duck hunted and shot our limits of sea ducks by 8:20am. Teddy is a very dedicated guide and he will give you 110%." — Scott Bettinger
