Trent Leichleiter
General Manager

Trent Leichleiter, Pheasant Bonanza's General Manager. Trent is very passionate about the role he plays at Pheasant Bonanza, he loves the challenges that come along each day, and the individuality of every hunt or dog he trains. Trent's years of experience in guiding upland birds and waterfowl hunts has provided him with the expertise needed to lead successful outings and field experiences. Trent enjoys planning and hosting large events like the Pheasant Hunters Unlimited (P.H.U.), Nebraska Pheasant Championship, PHU Nationals, and registered sporting clay shoots at Pheasant Bonanza.

Trent's passion for hunting and the great outdoors came from hunting as a young child. Trent would accompany his father, Andy Leichleiter every hunting season from the time he could walk. He credits his passion and desire to achieve success in both hunting and life to his dad. As he grew older, his hunting passion developed an enthusiasm for retrievers and eventually led him to seek a full-time job managing a hunting preserve and training dogs professionally.

At Pheasant Bonanza Trent participates in A.K.C (American Kennel Club) Hunt Tests, P.H.U events, as well as an ORVIS Endorsed dog training and breeding program throughout the season as well as handling many client dogs. As a full time trainer of both pointing and flushing breeds he encourages you to come out for training sessions while your dog is being trained at Pheasant Bonanza. He believes that the training process for you as a handler is just as important as the training your dog is receiving.

Trent, his wife Katie and their first son Jager are living at Pheasant Bonanza. As a family they enjoy meeting new customers as well as assisting clients and being part of the experience at Pheasant Bonanza.
