  Located in the prime duck hunting region of the Laguna Madre's duck environment, Pintail Lodge affords you the opportunity to hunt different species of duck, dove and goose in widely varied terrain. On any given day, you may drive out to one of the numerous freshwater potholes surrounding Pintail Lodge, or walk the few steps down to the lodge's airboat dock for a trip out onto the saltwater expanse of the Laguna. Once in the blinds, you will see a mixed bag of teal (cinnamon, bluewing, greenwing), redheads, bluebills, widgeon and, of course, the signature pintail. more...  map
