Busy weekend, and just like that, Sandhill crane season is over until next year. Congratulations to 11-year-old Ryan Amos DeWitt. He got what he came for. Yes sir, his first crane. Proud dad, Travis DeWitt, and little sis, Scarlett, who was our spotter, did a great job too!
Thank you to all my customers, and I hope you all had a great experience. See you all next year, God willing! Captain Gilbert Alex Alaniz, Graphic Xpressions Services & Outfitters LLC. Turkey season coming soon!

Great hunt this morning our hunters got their limit. A lot of preparation to get it done but well worth the effort. Thanks Leevi Escobar/Waist Deep Charters for your help. January 19th is last day to hunt these majestic birds. Have a few morning hunts left for next week give me a call so we can make it happen so you don’t have to wait till next year. #deceptiondecoys #tanglefreeblinds #drcranecalls

Eloy Solis
First time hunting Sandhill crane. Gilbert was an excellent Guide. Talked to the boys about the birds explained to them about the birds. What to look for. It was a great experience. My son and my nephew really enjoyed it. we had a great experience and time with him.
Eduardo Lugo
This was our second year hunting Sandhill crane with Gilbert, and once again he was an outstanding guide. He took the time to educate the boys and I about the birds—explaining their behavior and what to watch for—which really added to the experience. Our group had a great hunt and an unforgettable time overall. We will definitely be booking with him again next year.
Travis Dewitt
I grew up on the Norias division of the king ranch where my dad “Amos DeWitt” ran his outfitting hunting service. I was able to grow up with amazing hunting experiences unlike no one else. Later on after my father’s passing I took over the outfitting business and started to do guided hunts on other ranches. In south Texas and north Texas.
When it came time to take my own son and daughter hunting I chose Capt. gilbert alex alaniz.

Throughout my years hunting, fishing, guiding, and outfitting, I’ve come to realize it’s not the amount of animals or fish you see or catch it’s the experience and the memories you make. Let me say with gilbert he treats you like family. He treated us as his own family and work extremely hard to get us animals but also give us an experience that will last forever in my mind and my son and daughter. I look forward to many more years and memories hunting and fishing with him with my family.
