Duck Hunting

PANHANDLE'S BEST, INC. offers superb big water and playa lake duck hunting in the Texas Panhandle. Our hunts provide a variety of gunning habitats from thick cattail reeds and flooded timber to open country playa lakes. All hunting is done from boat blinds and layout boats. Early season hunts typically consist of fast paced action for warm weather species like Blue Wing Teal, Pintail, Widgeon, and Gadwall. Our main draw for hunters around the country is our mallard hunting. As the season progresses and cold weather sets in, typical days consist of limit style gunning for big northern green headed mallards and holdover pintails. PANHANDLE'S BEST, INC. offers early September teal hunts as well as regular season duck hunts. Full and half day hunts are available for both our early season teal and our regular season duck hunts.
