Rick is a status indigenous man belonging to the Tuscarora First Nation based in Ontario. He started hunting with his father when he was very young following him and carrying small game that he harvested. Once he started to hunt on his own it was for small game which was abundant in his area. He snared rabbits and trapped muskrats for fur. He also spent time hunting partridge, woodcock along with ducks and geese. He has spent a lot of time on his own in the bush hunting, fishing and trapping and enjoying what now is called bushcraft. In his youth big game was rare in the local area but deer were occasionally taken by the family and he was encouraged to be part of the hunt. The older he became he was even more involved in migratory bird hunting along Lake Erie and its rivers. Deer became his main big game species with rifle, bow and muzzle loader. They took bear and moose but had to travel quiet a distance to hunt them. He fished and still fish for small mouth bass, salmon and trout as well as some panfish and have had good success. Over the years he has been able to travel back to Ontario to hunt wild turkeys and have had great success with them. Upon retiring from the RCMP, he took the step to obtain his guiding license both for hunting and fishing in the province of Nova Scotia. He has enjoyed being part of the Fur and Feather Outfitters team and looks forward to many more seasons taking in what a good friend calls “outdoor medicine” and helping other do likewise as he enters his 65th trip around the sun.

Todd is a certified master guide and guide instructor for the province of Nova Scotia. His father, Thomas Kennedy was the first master guide in the province. Together they owned Lansdowne lodge and were the biggest outfitters in the province. Growing up as an Outfitters son, he didn’t do things that most youths his age did. He didn’t play hockey, football or baseball. He tied fishing flies, fly fished, shot archery, and shot competition skeet at the age of twelve, when the legal age to carry a gun in the province was fourteen. He hunted and fished every moment he could. Todd grew up glued to his father’s side learning everything he could about the outdoors and the guiding industry. He spent many days standing beside him when he guided clients on the river. When Todd graduated from High school he went straight into business as a guide. He became certified as a master guide, the highest guiding certification you can have. He has guided in many provinces, including Newfoundland where he and his father owned Moose, Caribou and Black Bear camps. Todd has guided for outfitters in Labrador, Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Todd is also Pro Staff for Semperfli, and Norvise.
