About Us
Patrick Flanagan
Owner & Guide
Patrick is our founder at Border to Border Outfitters and has laid the groundwork (and fencing) for where the business stands today. Through his un-paralleled passion for running dogs in the diverse landscapes we hunt, he has built strong relationships with clients, landowners, and communities across various upland territories. After more than 15 years of blood, sweat, and tear-infused upland hunting and dog-development, he's left no road in this sport untraveled. He knows the land, he knows his dogs, and he knows how to make every hunt a success.
- Top Dogs -
Rita
Miss Queen B2B herself, this 11 year old shorthair has earned her stripes between prairie, desert, and dense woods in pursuit of birds. Her fierce determination in the field coupled with the tender loyalty of a house dog make Rita a dream to both hunt over, and love. You can find her where the birds are.
Pea
She's got a lot more "go" than "whoa" but don't worry about getting left behind. Pea is equal parts pride and joy with her stamina, grit, and overall success in finding our hunters exactly what they're looking for. She might be a bird-chasing machine in the field, but you can always count on a calm-natured couch dog at the end of the day.
Barratt Gorshe
Guide
Barratt is from Utah. He grew up hunting and chasing upland bird with his grandpa and uncle. Barratt’s passion for dogs began at just six years old when his parents gave him a beagle puppy. From that moment on, dogs became a constant part of his life, aside from a brief time in high school when basketball consumed most of his attention. Everything changed during Barratt’s senior year of high school when a young dog named Sherlock entered his life. Together, they spent countless hours training, hunting, and competing. Barratt worked tirelessly with Sherlock, often traveling across the western United States to field trials and hunting grounds in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, and Montana.
Barratt is an avid wild bird enthusiast, spending each season from August through March running dogs on wild birds. He is also a dedicated NSTRA field trial competitor, having championed the very first dog he ever competed with and mentored several new handlers to their first placements. His experience, passion, and competitive drive have shaped the foundation of Homefield Training and Kennels. Barratt enjoys guiding and showing others the world of upland birds.
- Top Dogs -
Bandit
Bandit is a three year old English Setter that has grown into our top dog. A son of T’s American Gunfighter. He is a strong and powerful 60 pound quad colored male, with the genetics to back it. Bandit has the ability to dig birds up, even when things are slow it seems his collar is constantly giving me the point alert. He flys through the country with grace. You’d be hard pressed to find one with more style and class on the move or pointed. If you like great dogs and a good time, come let Bandit point you some birds!
Grip
Grip is a four year old English Setter of the tri colored variety. A son of the renown T’s Gunslinger out of a true blue hen, Erin’s Red Rose. With a muscular 50 pound frame, Grip has the brains and body that you hope every dog possesses but few have. If you blink you may miss Grip, this dog can move! When you are out hunting with Grip you feel like a true team. Grip has pointed birds from South Texas and all the way up to the Northern Prairies. We would love to show you what this dog is capable of and have Grip show you a great time!
