**“People always ask what kind of clients I deal with…
Truth is—when you’re in Mexico or Argentina with birds pouring in, world-class food on the table, and a cold drink in your hand… everyone’s having a damn good time.
That’s what we do. We don’t just book trips—we put you where the action is. Big bird numbers. Elite lodges. No headaches.
Argentina: ducks, doves, and pigeons—nonstop action.
Mexico cast & blast: ducks, doves, quail, bass… all in one trip.
Everything is dialed in so you can just show up and enjoy it.
If you want a trip where the birds are right, the service is right, and the experience is next level—message me. Spots fill fast.”**
Ryan McCollum: owner of Worldwide Wingshooter
Ryan McCollum has been immersed in the world of wingshooting from a young age, starting out with quail and dove hunts alongside his father and friends. His early passion led him to guide quail hunts in Southern Illinois during his high school years. This experience paved the way for his enrollment in the Shooting Complex Management program at Southeastern Illinois College (SIC),taught by Bruce Hering where he graduated as a National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) certified shooting instructor.
During his time in the program, Ryan completed a year-long internship at a prominent ranch in South Texas, where he gained in-depth experience in both wingshooting and deer hunting. He later went on to manage a prestigious wingshooting lodge in Southern California, focusing on quail, pheasant, and chukar hunts.
An exciting opportunity took him to Mexico, where he worked for four seasons in the renowned hunting regions of Tamaulipas. Determined to master the local language, Ryan committed to becoming fluent in Spanish, graduating from a full-immersion program in Costa Rica and continuing his studies at Southern Illinois University (SIU) between hunting seasons. His Spanish fluency has been invaluable, helping him build strong relationships with local outfitters and discover new, untouched hunting opportunities.
During his time at SIU, Ryan also pursued his passion for fly fishing, attending a guide school in Montana, which led to his role as an Orvis-endorsed fishing guide in Alaska. He later combined his love for wingshooting, fishing, and Spanish to establish his own operation in the Yucatán, Mexico, offering quail, duck, and tarpon fishing expeditions. This endeavor gave him a deep understanding of the region and its unique sporting opportunities.
In the early 2000s, Ryan expanded his horizons further by relocating to Paraguay, where he worked for Erland von Sneidern in both Bolivia and Paraguay, managing wingshooting operations for doves and pigeons. After Erland’s passing, Ryan took on the responsibility of overseeing these operations, ensuring the highest standards of service and client satisfaction.
Ryan then launched his own operation in Bolivia, specializing in dove, pigeon, and peacock bass fishing for six successful years. During this time, he married a Bolivian woman and became the proud father of three wonderful children. His career has taken him to premier wingshooting destinations across the globe, including the USA, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, Nicaragua, Romania, and beyond.
Today, as the owner of Worldwide Wingshooter, Ryan draws on his extensive experience to offer top-tier wingshooting destinations and personalized consulting services to enthusiasts worldwide.
