WillowTail Farm encompasses the best of private duck hunting land located in West TN. All of the blinds are heated and have full stoves for some good eating.

We are excited to partner up with West Tennessee’s exclusive sandhill crane guide operation. This gives us exclusive access to the ONLY areas that we ever see major concentrations of sandhill cranes. We only hunt in A-Frame blinds where it is much easier than your typical layout blind. We set out a large spread of decoys, typically 8-10 dozen and use calls. You will be shooting decoying birds. We are NOT located in the SE zone, we are located in the “State Wide” zone. The dates of our season typically run first Saturday in December until January 31st. This is a link where you can go to be drawn. https://www.gooutdoorstennessee.com/
Only individuals with a Tennessee Sandhill Crane Tag may hunt. Applicants must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to compete in the drawing. An Annual Hunting and Fishing License, (Type 001). Plus, a Tennessee Waterfowl License (Type 005) or equivalent licenses (such as Lifetime or Annual Sportsman), are required in order to enter either drawing. Hunters receiving SE Crane Zone tags will not be eligible to apply for crane tags in the statewide draw. Tags are non-transferable.
Sandhill Crane Identification Test: All sandhill crane hunters must pass an internet-based crane identification test each year before hunting. All tags issued are invalid until the “Sandhill Crane Test” validation code is written on the tag. The purpose of this test is to improve hunter’s awareness and ability to distinguish between sandhill cranes and other protected species which may be encountered while hunting.
