Three Decades. One Family. The Big Honker Lodge.
Full-service guided duck, goose, sandhill crane, pheasant, dove, turkey, and whitetail hunts — plus unguided hog hunts — from our Texas lodge near Knox City. Family-run since 1994.
Started by two brothers. Run by the same family ever since.
Jeff and Tony Stanfield ran the Dallas Morning News ad that started this outfit. Thirty-plus years and one farmhouse-turned-lodge later, we're one of the largest hunting operations in the country — and we still answer the phone the same way we did the first season.
Today Jeff runs the office. Tony runs the equipment and grounds. Michelle — Jeff's wife — runs the kitchen. Andy, their son, runs the spreads and the social. The lodge sleeps 60. The kitchen serves three meals a day. The hunts haven't changed.

A full-service lodge built for groups of all sizes.
Four buildings. Nine bunk rooms — each sleeps six to eight, each with its own bath. A commercial dining hall that seats 60, a separate social room with a big-screen TV and a pool table, and a kitchen that's been turning out three home-cooked meals a day for three decades.
Quiet country setting, very little traffic, and the kind of camp that makes the hunt feel like the smaller part of the trip.
Tour The LodgeDecades of stories. All on the record.
Jeff and Andy launched The Big Honker Podcast in April of 2018 — conversations with hunters, guides, gear-makers, and friends from across the waterfowl world. New episodes drop throughout the season.
