Troy Bailey
Troy Bailey, 41, lives outside of Firth, NE with his wife Melanie and two children, daughter Taylor and son Trevor (Troy's #1 hunting partner). Living his entire life in Nebraska has given him the opportunity to hunt many kinds of game, from deer and varmints to upland birds and waterfowl. Though he still enjoys all types of hunting, waterfowl hunting moved to the forefront many years ago. Whether hunting the cornfields of eastern Nebraska, the Rainwater Basins of central Nebraska or along the central and western Platte River regions, Troy can be found chasing waterfowl from early goose season in September through the conservation snow goose season is April. Through his love for waterfowl hunting he became involved in contest goose and duck calling, winning several championships to go along with over twenty top five finishes.

Along with his place on the Z-Unit, Troy serves on the Pro-Staff of Avery Outdoors. As a part of the Zink and Avery teams, Troy enjoys attending events and giving hunting, calling and retriever seminars exchanging experiences with hunters from all over the country.

Troy works as a Deputy Sheriff and has served over twenty years in law enforcement. He spends his spare time training his three labrador retrievers-Cass, Tank and Roxy. They attend several UKC and AKC hunt tests during the off season to keep the dogs sharp and improve upon their skills. Coaching his kids youth sports teams, helping with local DU committees and youth mentor hunts, giving calling lessons are also things Troy enjoys doing.
