Texas Triangle Outfitters offers the best guided sandhill crane hunting in the nation. Sandhill cranes start arriving in mid-October and are here in full force by early November.

The southern Texas panhandle is a major wintering area for cranes. Once they arrive they very rarely leave, some stay till mid march before trekking back north. We use the best decoys possible to provide the best hunt. Crane hunts are offered in the morning only, unless conditions require an afternoon hunt. Some hunts are conducted over water, but the majority take place in corn, milo and wheat fields.

Due to the extreme wariness of these birds we limit the amount of hunters per outing. It is also possible to shoot a few bonus geese or ducks during crane hunts. Sandhill’s are big, tough birds and can carry a lot of shot, so we recommend BB’s or hevi-shot 4-BB for these bad boys. Hunting crane with lead shot is legal! It is important to note, if your group is hunting with lead, we cannot shoot at any geese or ducks that come into the area. Shots can range from less than 10 yards to 35-40 yards. Call Texas Triangle Outfitters today to book the crane hunt of a lifetime.

Crane Hunt Pricing

• $375 Per Person, Per Day

 Information

• On all hunts everyone is expected to help put out and pick up the decoys. If everyone pitches in it can be accomplished in 30 minutes or less. If you cannot, or do not want, to help with the decoys there will be an additional $50 charge per hunter.
• Minimums are required to reserve a date. If you do not have enough hunters to meet the minimum, call us and we can more than likely match you up with other small groups to make a hunt. If we mix groups together there will be no more than six hunters in the spread.
• Bring your own lunch and drinks for full day hunts.

Deposits

• Hunting dates are reserved on a first come first serve basis with a 50% deposit required at the time you make the reservation to hold your date
• Deposits are non-refundable. Please be sure of the number in your party and the date before you send in your deposit as there are no refunds. Also the deposit you send is for the number you specify. For example if you send a deposit for six hunters and only four show up, the other two hunter's deposit is forfeited and cannot be applied to the remaining balance on the four hunters.

Lunch

• Lunch can be provided on-site for $20 per person, weather permitting. 

• We are only going to run one group per day, maybe two groups on the weekends, depending on the birds. DATES WILL GO FAST!  
• We charge $3 per bird for bird cleaning. Clients are more than welcome to clean their own.
