Tule Creek Duck Hunting
Up to 15 Guests, minimum 4 guests
About
The sun coming up over a playa and thousands of ducks flying in from feeding in a grain field is an unforgettable sight. Our duck hunts are primarily morning hunts done on playa lakes. Hunters are placed in cover, or in blinds. Hunters are typically gunning over only a few dozen decoys. The high playa lake density, grain crops, and timely rain can create a paradise for migratory birds in the central flyway. We encourage hunters to have an open mind when booking a duck hunt and waterfowl hunt. The guides and scouts will do there best to find you your favorite quarry, but at the end of the day migratory birds can show up or leave in the middle of the night. Come see us in the Panhandle and make some memories and friendships that you'll want to recreate year after year!
The Lodge at Tule Creek has all the comforts of home, with tons of extras! Enjoy our continental breakfast*, lunch in town, specially prepared game meals and good ole’ stories around the fire pit at night. The Lodge provides DIRECTV for all guests, so you will never miss the big game!
Breakfast is usually continental style: fruit, cereal, oatmeal, bagels, coffee, and juice. If you would like a full breakfast we can have that prepared, or you are welcome to use the kitchen.
Lunch is usually taken in town. The voted favorite spot among hunters is Aylins café, authentic Mexican food cuisine that is worth your travels!
Dinner after the first day of hunting is always good. We usually try to prepare some type wild game and the main meal could be steaks, fajitas, king ranch pheasant, or maybe enchiladas.

DO YOU OFFER LARGE GROUP DISCOUNTS?
Yes, we offer group discounts, and put together different packages depending on what the hunters want. We try hard to bring you the best quaility hunting possible at reasonable rates.
HOW MANY ACRES DO YOU HAVE TO HUNT?
Tule Creek has exclusive access to over 10,000 acres of private hunting property. We have ample hunting locations and opportunities for all your bird hunting adventures.
WHAT DOES THE BIRD CROP LOOK LIKE?
I get this question alot, and I guess it kind of changes from year to year. This year has started of really good. As April 1, we have had nearly as much rain this year as we had all of last year. Good spring moisture will certainly help the start of a hopefully good year.
WHAT KIND OF DOGS DO YOU HAVE?
We use labs and German shorthairs. We use the labs for everything, and the pointers for pheasant and quail hunting only. The dogs are well trained and become very helpful in the field.
