When you're ready to experience what real Texas hunting looks like, our all-inclusive 3-day package at Level 7 Outdoors delivers everything you need for a top-rated hunting adventure. Located in the heart of Plainview, Texas, this isn't your typical weekend hunt – we're talking about three full days of world-class waterfowl and upland hunting with comfortable lodging, home-cooked meals, and access to some of the best hunting grounds in the Texas Panhandle. You'll wake up each morning in our private bed and breakfast, fuel up with a hearty breakfast, and head out to chase sandhill cranes, mallards, and Canada geese across prime Texas habitat. This is hunting the way it should be – no rushing, no cutting corners, just pure focus on putting birds in the bag.
Your hunting adventure kicks off at our private bed and breakfast where you'll settle in for three days of comfortable accommodations and home-cooked meals that'll keep you energized from dawn to dusk. Every morning starts with a proper breakfast before we head out to the fields and wetlands around Plainview. The afternoon prairie dog hunt is a customer favorite – it's a perfect way to tune up your shooting skills while taking in the endless Texas landscape. We provide fruit and simple snacks during the hunt, but most hunters like to pack their own blind snacks and drinks to keep things personal. With a guest capacity of just one hunter, you get our full attention and the flexibility to hunt at your own pace. This isn't a rush job – when limits are reached for paying hunters, the hunt wraps up, so there's real incentive to make every shot count. Youth hunters should know that once they're filling limits consistently, they'll need to pay full price just like everyone else.
The Plainview area gives us access to diverse hunting terrain that's perfect for multiple species. We're working with a mix of agricultural fields, stock tanks, and seasonal wetlands that attract massive flights of waterfowl during migration periods. For sandhill cranes, we'll set up in grain fields where these birds come to feed – patience is key since cranes are incredibly wary and will flare at the slightest movement. Mallard hunting happens around stock tanks and shallow wetlands, where we use a combination of decoys and calling to bring birds into range. Canada geese require different tactics entirely – we're talking about field hunts over decoy spreads in areas where geese are actively feeding. The terrain is mostly flat with good visibility, so proper camouflage and blind discipline are essential. Wind direction plays a huge role in bird behavior here, and we'll position based on current conditions and flight patterns we've been tracking. Most shots come within 35 yards if you're patient and let the birds work the spread properly.
Sandhill cranes are the crown jewel of Texas hunting, and the Plainview area sits right in their major migration corridor. These birds can stand four feet tall with a six-foot wingspan, and they're incredibly smart – they've been called the "ribeye of the sky" for good reason. Peak season runs from late November through January when thousands of cranes stage in the area before continuing south. What makes crane hunting so special is the challenge – they're extremely vocal, incredibly wary, and require perfect concealment and calling. When a flock commits to your decoy spread, there's nothing quite like watching these massive birds cup their wings and drop into range.
Mallards are the bread and butter of waterfowl hunting in Texas, and our local birds are supplemented by northern migrants from October through February. Drakes average 2-3 pounds and are known for their classic green heads and white collars, while hens sport mottled brown plumage that's equally beautiful. Mallards respond well to calling and decoy spreads, making them perfect for hunters who want to work birds actively. They're incredibly adaptable and will use everything from shallow stock tanks to flooded fields, giving us multiple hunting opportunities throughout the day. The key to consistent mallard hunting is reading the weather – cold fronts and wind push fresh birds into the area and make them more likely to decoy.
Canada geese in the Texas Panhandle include both resident birds and migrants, with peak hunting typically from November through January. These birds can weigh 8-12 pounds and are incredibly social, often traveling in family groups that maintain tight bonds throughout the season. Lesser Canada geese make up most of our migrant population – they're smaller than the giant Canadas found up north but just as challenging to hunt. Geese are creatures of habit, using the same roost-to-feed patterns day after day until pressure or weather changes their routine. Successfully hunting geese requires scouting their feeding areas and flight lines, then setting up realistic decoy spreads that match their expectations. When everything comes together and a flock of geese commits to your spread, the sight of 20 or 30 birds cupping their wings overhead is something every hunter needs to experience.
This 3-day hunting package represents the best way to experience authentic Texas waterfowl hunting without the hassle of planning logistics, finding accommodations, or guessing where the birds are feeding. With all meals included, comfortable lodging, and access to prime hunting grounds around Plainview, you can focus entirely on the hunt itself. The combination of sandhill cranes, mallards, and Canada geese gives you opportunities to chase different species as conditions and bird movements change throughout your stay. Since we only take one hunter at a time, you're guaranteed personalized attention and the flexibility to adapt tactics based on what's working best. Whether you're a seasoned waterfowler looking for a new challenge or someone ready to step up their hunting game, this package delivers the kind of authentic Texas hunting experience that keeps hunters coming back year after year. The birds are here, the habitat is prime, and we've got everything else handled – all you need to do is bring your gear and get ready for three days of world-
Canada geese are big birds - eight to twelve pounds depending on the subspecies we get through here. The larger Canadas and smaller Cacklers both use our area during winter migration, hitting grain fields hard and roosting on bigger water. December and January bring the best numbers when cold fronts push birds down from up north. Hunters appreciate the challenge of calling these smart birds and the substantial meat they provide - one goose feeds a family. They're creatures of habit, flying the same routes between roost and feed twice daily. Best strategy is finding their flight line and being there before daylight with a solid spread of decoys.
Mallards are your classic duck - drakes running about two pounds with that signature green head, hens a bit smaller and mottled brown. They work our stock tanks, playa lakes, and any water with good cover nearby. Peak season runs November through January when northern birds join our local population. Hunters love mallards because they decoy well and provide excellent table fare with mild, flavorful meat. These birds respond great to calling, especially on overcast days with light wind. Pro tip: focus on the smaller, hidden potholes rather than big open water. Mallards prefer spots where they can tip-feed in shallow areas with easy escape routes to deeper water.
These big gray birds stand about four feet tall with a six-foot wingspan, making them one of our most impressive targets. Sandhills love our shallow playa lakes and grain fields, especially during migration from late October through February. They're smart and vocal, always posting sentries while the flock feeds. What hunters really appreciate is the challenge - these birds are wary and require patience. The meat's surprisingly good too, with a rich, almost beef-like flavor that beats most waterfowl. Key tip: set up along their flight paths between roost and feed areas early morning. They fly the same routes daily, so scout those corridors first and you'll have success.
