Unrivaled Waterfowl Hunting
Big Bend Ranch adjoins the water of North America’s premier waterfowl flyway and is renowned for spectacular waterfowl pass shooting and field shooting over decoys. Our unique location, bordering a state waterfowl refuge and featuring gently rising hills leading to grain fields with strategically placed hunting blinds, creates truly exceptional hunting conditions.
Diverse Waterfowl Opportunities
With the right winds and weather conditions, the pass shooting at Big Bend Ranch is simply unbelievable. While Canada Geese are the primary species you’ll encounter, at certain times you can also witness large flights of Northern Mallards, White-fronted Geese, Snow Geese, and Blue Geese, adding to the variety and excitement of your hunt.
Hunting Schedule
Waterfowl hunting at Big Bend Ranch typically takes place during peak activity times: from sunrise until around 10:30 a.m., and again in the afternoon from 3:00 p.m. until sunset, maximizing your chances for a successful and thrilling hunt.
Legendary Canada Goose Hunting
Big Bend Ranch is home to one of the largest Canada Goose staging areas in North America, making it undoubtedly one of the finest destinations for Canada Goose hunting on the continent. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Canada Geese stop at the adjacent refuge during their southward migration. These geese then leave the river refuge and cross the bluffs to feed in our fields, providing the most fantastic field shooting over decoys imaginable.
