About Your Trip

Get excited for an epic crane hunting adventure with Pro guide Cash and his team. Bag limits in Zones A and B are 9 birds a person. Bring your 12 gauge shotguns and steel shot size #6, #4, or #2. Lodging and meals are not included in the price of the hunt, but local hotels and airbnbs in the Abilene area are very affordable and easy to find. Hunts are conducted on private leases in the surrounding area.

A typical Crane hunt begins one hour before sunrise. 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!

Independent Guide

We offer guided and semi-guided hunting packages for Sandhill Cranes , Dove, Duck, Deer, and Wild Hogs in the North West Texas Region. Including Guided Spring Conservation Snow Goose and Pheasant Hunting in Nebraska. With a home base located in Seymour Texas. Our mission is to go where the birds are and deliver a great hunting experience. To this end, we offer Guided Crane Hunts in the Early Zone A section of Texas as well as the Zone B section of Texas Parks and Wildlife hunting regulations. Once we have scouted the birds and find their locations, we match our pre- booked hunting clients with the local lodging and meal options in each area we are hunting. (Restaurants and Hotels)

Our Crane and Bird, Deer, Hog Hunting guides are carefully selected and matched to provide our Hunting clients with the best outdoors experience possible. Each guide is a seasoned professional hunting guide with years of hunting and client focused service experience.

Most of our duck hunts occur over managed stock tanks/ponds. We manage these locations to make sure they are not over hunted or pressured. Therefore, some of our duck hunts occur anywhere over a seven-county area of North West Texas. Our guide network is always scouting for bird concentrations all season long. We maintain yearlong conservation programs on all our managed hunting properties. This is done to ensure your group a great outdoor experience. sand hill cranes
