My husband and a group of friends from Colorado were there the past couple of days. I was supposed to go, but unforeseen circumstances did not allow it.
Keep in mind, that other than 2 boys, they are all very experienced bird hunters, and the boys are pretty darn gird bird hunters. My husband and I used to tear them up in Lubbock on our own prior to the outfitters monopolizing the territory.
Yesterday morning: Crane Hunt - Guide could not figure out how to get on the property and once he did, did not know where to set up. Setup was completed late. They were also set up in layout blinds which was not communicated prior - not that big a deal - but communication is key. Three birds total between 9 hunters. Birds all around, but the guide was unable to bring them in - thought they were supposed to be experienced guides? Also, guide did not clean the birds.
Yesterday afternoon: Dove hunt - 3 birds total. No birds around
This morning: Same 9 hunters - five birds total. A-frame blind. Same as yesterday, guide could not call them in. Guide did clean the birds.
They are posting all over social media how they are tearing them up and to book your hunt - don't bother.
Yes, we realize that no hunt is guaranteed, however, we have used other outfitters out there that at least looked like they knew what they were doing and we tagged out or got close to tagging out most days. With one of them even offering to take us in the afternoon because the morning was pitiful. This was the worst one yet. read more
