Our Guides
Brandon Consalus
Brandon has worked as a guide for three years with Wilderness Place Lodge, an all-inclusive fly fishing lodge located in Alaska. During his time in Anchorage, Brandon specialized in providing guests with the opportunity to catch Rainbow trout, Arctic grayling, Chinook, Pink, Sockeye, Silver and Chum salmon.
A 2020 graduate of Tarleton State University, Brandon has a B.S. in Wildlife, Sustainability and Ecosystem Sciences. During his time at Tarleton State, he assisted in a translocation project, working to reestablish a sustainable population of Northern bobwhite quail to an area where they had previously been extirpated. He also conducted undergraduate research on the effects of bobwhite mortality and nesting locations on meso-predator populations on the surrounding areas.
Along with years of successful guiding experience, Brandon has completed certifications for the USCG 6-pack License. Brandon grew up fishing and hunting in Texas and considers himself extremely fortunate to provide others with similar experiences that have helped shape his own passion for the outdoors.
Brandon has recently expanded Wild Plains Outfitters to include taxidermy of upland birds and waterfowl. Check out the gallery of his amazing work here.
Destiny Madigan
The opportunity to become part of the hunting community in Kansas as an owner is a dream come true for Destiny. She has her dad to thank for introducing her to upland bird hunting as a kid. She became quickly attached to bird dogs and spent most of her spare time making runs to Kansas from Texas over the last 22 years with her pack of pointers.
Destiny is a ‘99 graduate of Texas A&M University with a Masters in Animal Science. She explored South Dakota in the fall of 2021, guiding pheasant hunts at Eagle Pass Lodge alongside her crew of fellow dog-handlers. She has attended George Hickox’s bird dog clinic, a well-known and accomplished mentor for many lovers of hunting dogs.
Destiny also owns Harmony Canines Inc., a dog training operation in South Texas. Harmony Canines Inc. is a group of five Animal Behavorial College graduates, specializing in the prevention and management of aggressive and anxious behavior in dogs.
Destiny is excited to bring her animal husbandry expertise and guest hospitality to the table alongside an accomplished team of guides here at Trouvaille.
