Guided Sandhill Crane Hunts in Texas
Hunting Sandhill cranes in Texas is an experience that is high on any bird hunter's bucket list. With extremely high bird populations and continual scouting efforts from our guides, you can expect to see a ton of birds and enjoy an action-packed hunt. The Sandhill crane is one of the most sought-after bird species for a reason, and we invite you to come experience it for yourself on a guided hunt in Texas.
West Texas Sandhill Crane Hunting
Our Sandhill crane hunts take place in West Texas in the High Plains Mallard Management Unit. This part of Texas is packed with cultivated farmland that is abundant with food, which draws in large numbers of migrating Sandhill cranes, ducks, and geese every fall and winter. The Matador area also has plenty of ponds and lakes that the birds love to roost on, keeping them in the area longer. Our extensive private ranches contain a mixture of these habitat attractions that make for incredible Sandhill crane hunting, and you can expect to hunt over dry, freshly cut fields or over standing water depending on where we find the birds when scouting before your hunt.
Mixed Bag Waterfowl Hunts in Texas
First Shot Outfitters' Sandhill Crane hunts have the unique opportunity to take home a mixed bag of waterfowl that includes cranes, ducks, and geese. Although most people picture a Sandhill crane hunt taking place over fields, some of our water sources get a lot of traffic from cranes, along with the expected ducks and geese. This makes for an exciting mixed waterfowl hunt only Texas can provide. You never know what you will pull the trigger on next!
