A Legacy of the Land: The Old School Story

For over a quarter-century, Old School Guide Service has been the premier destination for authentic Northeast Kansas hunting. Founded 25 years ago by Mike Nickels, our service was built on a simple foundation: deep respect for the land, a passion for the sport, and a commitment to family values. Today, that tradition continues as the next generation takes the lead, with Mark Nickels managing our daily operations and ensuring every guest experiences the best of the Kansas outdoors.


Operating under Nickels Farms, LLC, we aren’t just guides—we are stewards of the environment. Our dedication to the Kansas soil has earned us prestigious recognition, including the Wildlife Habitat Conservation Award from the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks and honors from the Kansas Bankers Association. From the Farm Bureau Natural Resources Award to our partnership with Pheasants Forever, our trophy room is a testament to our commitment to preserving the habitat as much as the hunt.

When you join us in Unit 10 for Whitetail or Unit 3 for Turkey, you are stepping onto ground that has been managed for excellence by a family that lives and breathes the Kansas hunting lifestyle.
