Owner & Guide
Kendall Kelso
Kendall was raised on farms in Southwest Iowa and Northwest Missouri and runs our Central Kansas Camp. He started hunting early in life, chasing raccoons with his older brother Kirk, and hunting deer, upland birds, and small game with his brothers and his father.
Kendall started a successful jockey career on the National Quarter Horse racing circuit at age 16 and continued for 17 years, winning some of the nation's most prestigious races. In between races, he devoted his off time to one of his greatest passions: waterfowl hunting.
In 1998, Kendall and Keaton started K&K Outfitters, guiding hunters from across the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.

Keaton Kelso
Keaton was also raised on farms in Southwest Iowa and Northwest Missouri. He now lives in Southeast Kansas, where he runs our SE Kansas (East) Camp. He spent much of his childhood in the field with his brothers and his father, taking his first deer at age 10.
After college at Pittsburg State University, Keaton used his Communication degree to run several large non-profit organizations across Kansas.
Keaton has served on the board of the Kansas Outfitters' Association for over a decade — including over 10 years as President — and is currently Treasurer.
Administrative Assistant & East Camp Cook
Karen Kelso
Keaton's wife, Karen (a retired school counselor), is our K&K Outfitters Administrative Assistant and the cook for the East Camp.
Karen takes pride in the meals she serves our clients — we receive many compliments on the food, and we often hear that hunters gain 5 pounds on their trip. Karen's specialty is gluten-free cooking, so dietary needs in the East Camp should be discussed with her in advance.

Keith has been a guide at the Central Camp since our first whitetail hunt in 2002. He runs a dairy farm in Southwest Missouri and guides throughout the fall season.
Keith is an avid coyote hunter in the off season, and he also enjoys packing into the mountains with his horses and mules to chase elk in the early fall.

Matt Robertson
Matt was born and raised in the Midwest, where growing big deer and chasing turkeys is the name of the game.
