      Description

      This hunt area offers Sandhill crane hunting opportunities for upwards of 10,000 wintering sandhill cranes. The sandhill crane population in the Texas panhandle consists mostly of lesser Sandhill cranes averaging in size from 7-10 pounds. There are also many greater Sandhill cranes in our region which range in size from 10-13 pounds. These hunts take place over deception sandhill crane decoys. The realism is second to none and the results of the hunt speak for themselves! While crane hunters enjoy a layout or comfortable A-frame and get to experience decoying sandhill cranes like no place else. The Texas crane hunts take place over both water and fields depending on what the Sandhill cranes are doing. Typically hunters can expect to shoot limits of Sandhill cranes on this crane hunt, and quite often capitalize on some "bonus" geese and ducks during the same hunt! Option to add a duck hunt if desired for an additional charge.
