Feetdown Outdoors

We are located in Southeast New Mexico. All of our guides and owners grew up hunting waterfowl in New Mexico and hunting big game. We hunted in Texas with outfitters for about 10 years and decided that we could run our own operation. We were officially licensed in 2020 and began the first crane outfitter in New Mexico.

We offer crane hunts and some duck/goose hunts depending on bird numbers. The year 2020 was the first year as a licensed business and was our first official season together as a team. We pride ourselves on putting bucket list birds in people’s laps and giving them multiple opportunities to limit out on big groups of cranes.

Rates: We charge $300/gun on crane hunts and $300/gun on ducks or geese.

Hunt Style: Whenever we hunt we mainly hunt dry fields and out of layout blinds or A-frames. Whenever we get enough rain we hunt standing water for ducks and geese as well.
