Our Story

BirdDog co-founders

BirdDog was born out of necessity. Co-founders Jonathan Lusk and Taylor Jackson saw the need for a solution to help landowners unlock the potential of their land. Managing hunts proved to be a powerful way to create income while offering outdoor enthusiasts unforgettable experiences, but the platforms available were either too hard to use or didn’t meet the needs of landowners. So, they built one.

What started as a tool for operating hunts has grown into a platform that empowers landowners to connect with others, share their land, and create lasting memories. For hunters, anglers, and adventurers, BirdDog makes booking outdoor experiences effortless.

Whether you’re a landowner looking to maximize your property’s potential or an adventurer seeking your next great memory, BirdDog is here to help you put your land—or your passion—to work. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible in the great outdoors.

Bringing the Outdoors Closer

We believe in the magic of the outdoors. It’s where memories are made, bonds are strengthened, and life’s best moments often happen. Whether it’s a father and son sharing their first hunt together, a group of friends chasing adventure, or a landowner seeing their property’s potential come to life, BirdDog is here to facilitate those experiences.

By connecting hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts with private landowners, we make accessing private property for outdoor activities incredibly easy. And in doing so, we’re not just making connections—we’re creating opportunities for incredible, sometimes life-changing experiences.

BirdDog is more than a platform; it’s a bridge between people and the outdoors. From the first idea to today, that connection has been at the heart of everything we do.

Our Founder

Founder & CEO Jonathan Lusk began his finance career at Goldman Sachs in 2011. Following his time working for Wall Street, Jonathan launched his own finance company.

As a proud alumnus of Texas A&M University and Rice University’s MBA program, he has since expanded his entrepreneurial portfolio to include BirdDog—an AgTech startup that helps landowners generate revenue through tax optimization, farming, hunting, and other legacy-building opportunities.

Today, he lives in Washington, TX, on a small piece of land with his wife, Kat, and their children, Jackson, Sam, and Charlotte.
