What hunting trips does Longneck Outfitters offer in West Texas?
Updated
Longneck Outfitters, based in Lubbock, Texas, offers five guided migratory game bird hunts in West Texas: Sandhill crane, goose, duck and teal, snow goose, and dove. All are guided hunts, and the operation describes itself as specializing in crane and goose hunting in the southern Texas Panhandle and West Texas region. If you want a specific species or a specific season window, the list below tells you which trips exist and what the site says about each.
The five guided hunts
| Hunt type | What the site says |
|---|---|
| Guided Sandhill Crane hunts | The southern Texas Panhandle is described as a significant wintering habitat; cranes tend to stay until mid-March before migrating north. |
| Guided Goose hunts | Described as the signature excursion, run in the morning hours only, which leaves time to scout and secure fields for the next day. Primarily field hunts, with occasional waterfowl hunts depending on water availability. |
| Duck and Teal hunts | Listed as a guided hunt category on the site. |
| Guided Snow Goose hunts | Listed as a guided hunt category on the site. |
| Guided Dove hunts | Listed as a guided hunt category on the site. |
What kind of hunting is this?
These are migratory game bird and waterfowl hunts, not big game or upland bird packages. The company says it has operated professional waterfowl hunts for over two decades and that its team has guided and hunted across the country. It also states that multiple trucks go out daily to put groups on birds throughout the season.
Where do the hunts take place?
Headquarters are in Lubbock, West Texas. The crane hunting is tied to the southern Texas Panhandle, which the site calls a major wintering area. Goose hunts are field-based, with water hunts possible when suitable water is available.
How to decide if this fits you
- Choose a crane hunt if you want a winter-season trip tied to the Panhandle migration, which the site says runs until mid-March.
- Choose a goose hunt if you prefer a morning-only format and field hunting; note that water hunts are conditional, not guaranteed.
- Choose duck and teal, snow goose, or dove if you want one of those species specifically — the site lists them as separate guided options but gives less detail than for cranes and geese.
