Wild Bird Hunting
Upland hunting is our passion as well as our business, and we want to share the adventure with you. With locations all over West and North Texas, as well as Oklahoma, we pride ourselves in having a strategic “bird’s eye view.” We pay special attention to the seasonal migration patterns that influence population densities, enabling our clients to experience quail hunting at its best.
In other words, we go where the birds are!
Regardless of the season, you can be sure to find beauty, birds and game aplenty in Crockett hunting areas. Vast southwestern skies create a picturesque canvas for the flight of quail, doves, ducks and geese.
In springtime, the Texas countryside dresses itself in wildflowers. The bursting color of the hills and plains provide the perfect nesting and feeding grounds for coveys of the legendary bobwhite and Texas blue scaled quail. Summer brings horizons of endless yellow sunflowers flavored by whitewing and mourning doves. In the autumn, shinnery and acorns permit white tail and mule deer to thrive.
Crockett offers hunting and wing-shooting, spanning carefully managed southwestern habitats. Our many professional guides will take you through ranch lands that showcase the scenic landscape and include healthy populations of game.

Habitat and Hunting Grounds
Our ranches are painstakingly and expertly managed. Wildlife biologists bring years of expertise and optimal management techniques to our terrain. Prescribed burns, well planned bird buffers, half-cut mesquite cover, and careful management of livestock are just a few of the practices that sustain consistent and healthy populations year after year.
In fact, Crockett Ranch in Bowie was nominated for the Anheuser Busch Quail Unlimited Adopt-a-Covey Award in 2007.
Crockett Guides and Hosts
Our seasoned guides are accomplished horsemen and hunters, as well as gifted dog handlers. With a combined hunting experience of 80 years, our guides help to ensure you of a successful, enjoyable and memorable trip. They know where the birds are and how to get there, so you can expect good populations of quail and other game during your hunt.
Crockett Dogs
Two words can sum up our gundogs: manner and polish! Crockett Ranch and Kennel offers healthy, hard working, passionate, professionally trained English Setters. All are steady to wing and shot, many are current or retired field trial competitors. You’ll enjoy a minimum of four dogs per rig, and you can expect dependability and enthusiasm from them in the fields.
Hunting over our English Setters is an inspiring experience. Their personality and perseverance puts a smile on your face and birds in your bag! A champion Setter’s dogged determination is a treat to watch, whether or not you ever fire a shot. Superior English Setters become superior gundogs, and Crockett Kennel is Orvis-endorsed for producing such fine hunting companions.
Our dogs are the foundation of our program and a continuation of the Johnny Crockett legacy. Bloodlines included Johnny Crockett, Bozeann’s Mosley and Calico’s Future Force, among others. We continue to improve the bloodlines but while still keeping the influence of our foundation stock. Under the experience of Russ Pankey, our Setters polish their skills in the field year-round.
