About Us

AT 10 Star Hunting Guides, our goal is to provide an outstanding hunting trip for you. The guides have over 50 years of experience in hunting upland birds and training dogs. Five years ago, with the wild quail population declining, we decided to offer pen raised hunts. Two years ago, we added duck hunting opportunities for our customers.

It is a pleasure for us to share the beautiful site of our pointing dogs backing each other and the anticipation of flushing birds. We strive to make every hunt a life - long memory. Our hunts are held on farms in Canadian and Blaine Counties in Western Oklahoma. The terrain consists of creeks, rolling hills, grasslands, and plum bush thickets. If you like the outdoors, you will appreciate the land and habitat we hunt. We hunt behind German Shorthaired and English Pointers. Our dogs have strong noses, work close to the hunters, and are well behaved.

Our duck hunting trips consist of decoy hunting on private ponds and rivers in Western Oklahoma. Seeing flocks of ducks working into decoys is a thrill for our hunters. We hunt a wide range of ducks including mallards, gadwall, widgeon, teal, pintail and a few wood ducks.

10 Star Hunting Guides is owned by Dick Balenseifen. He and his guides love sharing the outdoors with other hunters. We have the ability to design hunts with open shooting for beginners and tougher wooded area shooting for the advanced hunters.

Welcome to 10 star Hunting Guides!

I had a great time hunting with 10 Star Guide Service. The dogs do a great job and are very entertaining to watch. The land is perfect for quail hunting and Dick put us in good spots for excellent shooting opportunities.

  • I did not know what to expect as this was my first quail hunt in Oklahoma. It was a perfect day, a little chilly in the morning but it warmed up. Dick and his dogs showed our group a fantastic time. The birds were flying high and the dogs did not miss any downed birds. I would recommend 10 Star to anyone looking to have a great quail hunt.

  • By pure luck I connected with 10 Star and was able to spend the day with Dick hunting. It was a memorable experience because of his passion for his dogs and the hunt. He put us in the right position to shoot as many times as needed, and we did! Great experience.

  • Dick is a fantastic guide and a great Oklahoman. It was not far into the hunt for us to realize our paths had crossed a decade ago and new a lot of the same people. Our group had such a great time hunting with Dick and we are looking forward to next season.

  • I haven’t been on a hunt since I was a kid and I had forgotten how much fun quail hunting is. The action was nonstop! We hunted for a few hours and between our group of three saw about 40 birds. The dogs are amazing and overall, just a great experience. I’m bringing my dad with me next season!
