Blackfoot is the ORIGINAL waterfowl outfitter in the Lubbock area.
Experience and proven success are what we offer.
GEESE
West Texas goose hunting is known to be the best in Texas. The majority of our hunting is in peanut, milo, and wheat fields within easy reach of Lubbock. Huge concentrations of Lesser Canada Geese and Sandhill Cranes winter in the Texas Panhandle because of the vast playas and hundreds of miles of agriculture in every direction. Because of this, birds can spread out and avoid pressure like you won't see in other areas of Texas--that's why the hunting is consistent even to the end.
Blackfoot guides are full-time guides and accomplished callers. This is what we do!
Hunting is done over silhouettes and full bodies with the hunt lasting until noon or limits are reached.
We use padded chairs to keep you comfortable and "shaggie" blankets to keep you hidden.
If you want to shoot a greater Canada goose, Lubbock is your best bet in Texas. The shooting is spectacular!
SANDHILL CRANES
Lubbock area sandhill crane hunts take place in the same type agricultural fields as geese. There is something to say about the giant prehistoric birds falling into the decoys. The Lubbock area provides the largest concentration of wintering Sandhills in the USA. Between 250,000-500,000 sandhills call this part of West Texas home in the fall. We hunt nearly exclusively with Deception Decoys and Stuffers. The weather, amount of cover and other factors will determine how we hide from these weary birds. We use either layout chairs and ghilles or A-Frames and tumbleweeds to provide up close decoying action. Its best to let us decide the HOW for each hunt.
There is NO place better to hunt sandhill cranes than West Texas!
