Come explore thousands of acres of the flatlands of west Texas while you chase the beautiful Sandhill Crane. This package includes lodging and breakfasts at a local hotel and hearty meals and cold drinks served by staff every evening in a beautifully converted barn or we will take you to taste the cuisine at some of our favorite restaurants. Each evening your guide will provide you with the pin location of where the next day's hunt will be after they have scouted the best location to take our chances with this migratory species. Typically we hunt out of layout blinds or A-frame style brushed blinds along irrigation turrets or ditches. We typically finish hunting around 11AM each day. This gives you ample time to get back to the hotel, grab lunch in town and take a nap before we join you for dinner and the hunting stories can commence. So, grab your shotgun and join us in and around beautiful Canyon, Texas for a trip to remember! This hunt will take place in November 2025 through January 2026. Not included are licenses ($85 each), transport to lodge and tips. Additional hunters are $2,195 each, and trip can be extended. Other species available.
