Conner pioneered Great Lakes Guided Outdoors with the intent to provide accessibility to quality outdoor experiences for people of all ages, demographics and backgrounds as well as helping in countless ways in his own community. By compounding a team of professionals from across the nation, GLGO has quickly grown to be one of the most versatile outfits in the state.He grew up in northern Michigan chasing fowl and fish with friends and then quickly shifted gears to cater to countless veteran and youth organizations. Not only did this open his eyes to the need for providing these services on a larger scale, it also lit a fire to continue providing these experiences for other outdoorsmen and women of all ages. Now, over a decade later the hunger to help these groups among many others has grown substantially.Gough spends a portion of the year in the mitten in pursuit of the migration of Canada geese and puddle ducks as well as sharing unforgettable experiences with his clients at the lodge and in the spring turkey woods chasing fired up gobblers. When not in Michigan you’ll find him in a dry field in the Central flyway or running a charter boat in the ocean fishing or hunting sea ducks in Alaska with King Eider Adventures.No matter the distance or circumstances, one thing always stays the same. The greatest focus is always geared towards the customer’s experience while in the blind or boat with him.“I personally guarantee that your time with GLGO will be everything you expect and more. We value each and every single person who joins the family every season and are fortunate for the connections that have been made while in the blind together.Sharing a common love of the outdoors with other sportsmen from around the globe has been something I am most grateful for. Whether an ear to ear smile of a first timer or someone completing their turkey slam, I can always learn something from every single person I share the woods with. I often get asked if I get burned out chasing my passion with as much emotion and drive as I do and the answer is always the same. I’ll never tire of seeing eyes light up with excitement the way they do when they take in the outdoor experiences we’re able to provide for people so regularly. That’s the ultimate goal and the biggest reward for the countless hours that went into making it possible. Guiding and outfitting is a labor of love, blood, sweat and tears. Grinding it out through the valleys is what makes you appreciate the mountaintops with the best people and for that I’m extremely appreciative.This isn’t just a job to me, this has become my way of life and it’s something I’m incredibly proud to say. I look forward to learning how my team can provide the exact outdoor adventure that you need and we will always count down the days until you return again!”
