My name is Ryley Hamm, and I grew up in the central part of Illinois. I started hunting at a young age with my father. Since then, the passion has ran deep in my blood. I killed my first goose at 5 years old from a pit in my backyard along the Illinois River. I have been hunting snow geese since 2004, and guiding since 2013 with great success. Back in the early 1900's, my great-grandfather's were waterfowl guides. As the generations progressed, my passion for guiding came along with it.
