About US
Matt Beede, owner and guide at
Beede Outdoors, is very passionate about the outdoors and hunting. Ever since
he can remember, Matt and his father, Bill Beede, would go hunting for
everything, from small to large game. Hunting has always been a part of
Matt’s life and he is excited to share his passion with all of his clients.
Matt has gained a lot of experience throughout the years. During high school
and throughout college Matt worked at Lincoln Trap and Skeet where he worked up
to being an assistant manager. During his college career Matt had the
opportunity to travel to Namibia, Africa for six weeks to shadow two
professional hunters where he learned a number of land conservation practices
and how they manage their hunting operations. Matt graduated from the
University of Nebraska – Lincoln with a bachelor’s degree in Fisheries and
Wildlife Management. With his experience and studies Matt is excited to apply
his knowledge to give his clients the finest hunting experience Nebraska has to offer.
Matt started Beede Outdoors in 2014 and over the years has enjoyed working with all new and returning clientele. His clients have become not only clients, but good friends, that he loves to catch up with every time they come out for a hunt. Not only does Matt get to share his passion for hunting with you, but also his two young daughters, Emma and Nora. They love coming to work with their Dad to help catch and feed the birds. His wife, Kristin, is also a large part of the business and supports in all aspects of operations. The entire Beede family is fortunate for all of our loyal clients, and we look forward to many more successful years at Beede Outdoors.
