Cold Water Outfitters

Bryan Dean built Cold Water Outfitters on a simple idea: give hunters the best guided experience possible. Based in Bismarck, North Dakota, this family operation focuses on small groups and personalized attention—not factory hunts.

"Whether I feel a musky lure get bumped or see a flock of honkers start to cup, I still get the same adrenaline rush that I did the first time. This is what drives me in guiding!"

• •North Dakota Waterfowl hunts for ducks and geese
• •North Dakota Fishing trips
• •Bow Fishing expeditions
• •Outer Banks Fishing (coastal)
• •Ice Fishing and Spearing in winter
• •Texas Hog Hunts year-round
• •Onsite Lodge accommodations

Bryan runs the operation with his wife and five kids. The goal isn't just a successful hunt—it's memories, stories, and smiles you take home.
