Tule Creek Sandhill Crane Hunting

The sun coming up over a playa and thousands of sandhill crane flying in from feeding in a grain field is an unforgettable sight. Our crane hunts are conducted in fully enclosed A-frame style blinds or layout blinds. Hunters are typically gunning over only a few dozen decoys. Hunts are conducted in fully enclosed A-frame style blinds or layout blinds. Deception Decoys are the only decoys we used for our crane hunts. Did you know that sandhill cranes are considered the “rib eyes of the sky”! They are fine table fare and our guides will love to show you their favorite cleaning, preparation, and cooking methods as with any game.

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.
