Crane Hunting in the Texas Panhandle

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. 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.
