Early Sandhill Cranes
Saskatchewan, Canada
More about us
Our company was established in 2005 and operates in 1 territory.
- Located in the prairie pothole region of Saskatchewan near Lake Diefenbaker, the South Saskatchewan River and Ducks Unlimited Project Marsh, Luck Lake, we have everything that makes a true waterfowler's paradise.
- We outfit right in the heart of the Central and Mississippi flyways and our area is littered with the shallow wetlands that are so vital to nesting ducks. This combination gives us reliable numbers of birds from the beginning of the season with local birds, to the end of the season with late migrations.
- Very few areas anywhere produce the variety, quantity, and quality of waterfowl in North America, and few outfitters will go to the lengths that we will to ensure you have the hunt of a lifetime, every time. So come along with us for a true waterfowler's Hunting Adventure.
About this hunt
Rib eye of the sky! Not only a great eating bird, but a real Saskatchewan migratory trophy bird. We hunt cranes like we hunt all waterfowl in Saskatchewan, in the decoys. We use full body and sock crane decoys to hunt these wily birds. Crane's eye sight is very sharp so we use natural cover as much as possible when we hunt cranes, although Aframe and layout blinds are lethal in any situation.
Most hunters approach crane hunting apprehensively, until they do it. With a 6 foot wingspan they make an impressive sight side slipping to get into the decoys.
This hunt is for 1 morning hunt per day.
Minimum of 4 hunters, minimum of 2 days. A booking of 6 hunters get you a private group.

Where you will hunt
Territory
Our area is truly unique in the fact that we get all of the migratory game bird that has made the prairies a number one destination. We play host to 100 of thousand of snow, blue and Ross geese, bountiful numbers of white-fronted geese, and Canada geese of every size. Being in the pothole region affords us the opportunity to hunt locally raised ducks, and we have them in big number. Mallards, pintails, wigeons, gadwall, blue and green-winged teal, shovelers, as well as numerous divers are very typical in a hunt here. We have an added bonus bird that is a true prairie trophy, the Sandhill crane. Most hunters have never experienced the site and sound of decoying Sandhills like we offer here.
We also offer upland bird hunts for Hungarian Partridge and sharp-tailed grouse in our hunt packages. We use flushing dogs when hunting the hedgerows and short grass prairie for the speedy targets.
