Our hunting clients typically help set up our Crane decoys and begin helping to set up our mobile Crane Blind. We do not require, but rather invite our clients to help with set up as it allows us to deploy the decoys and blind with less help in the field. The faster we set up and load out the gear after the hunt, the more time our clients have to travel. We do not wear our clients out by packing too much gear, we just ask for a little help to ensure a safe and productive experience. Sandhill cranes require far fewer decoys than your average goose hunt. Once everything is set up and the sun starts to rise the hunt begins. Hunts will run until around 11am but more often than not you'll reach your limit far before then! Read More
