Just returned from a Sandhill Crane hunt with Full Throttle Outdoors, a group of 4 hunters and not a single Crane. We started the first day with one guide and he placed us in a pretty good spot however none of the birds came within 60 yards. The guide encouraged us to shoot although having done this before, I did not. Nothing was hit and then the hunt stopped due the rancher who leased the land started to drive around, spreading manure. So we tried aging the next day with another guide that works for Full Throttle Outdoors. He put us in a cotton field, no food source around and this time we didn't see a bird for the entire morning. We stopped and the Guide said he was sorry but this was the field he was told to go to. The hunts organizer, tried to reach Jacob (Full Throttle Outdoors owner), to discuss next years hunt with the request for two days of paid hunt and one day comp 'ed by him, this proposal was met with a "I'll think about it". All calls since by our groups organizer have been ignored. We all drove 350 miles and spent $380 each for lodging to be provided this "Half A___ Hunt, so word to the wise be cautious when booking with Full Throttle Outdoors.

We are looking for a Reputable Crane Guide Service in the Lubbock TX area, any suggestions will be appreciated!!
