DESTINATIONS
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime."
-Mark Twain-
Probably the greatest wingshooting destination in North America, Mexico offers an extension of the migration template for many of our waterfowl. In addition to that, it’s one of the only quality international destinations still allowing American hunters to cross its borders to hunt & fish. Around 90% of North America’s redheads and a significant number of our pintails, all three teal, lesser scaup, gadwalls, and widgeon head across the border, utilizing the Laguna Madre as their winter home. We have been hunting in Mexico for many years and recently have settled on a couple of operations on the eastern side of the country and one specific spot near the west coast. In addition to the ducks, the skies are full of specklebelly, blue, snow, and Ross’ geese and sandhill cranes. We are also hunting the wild Bob White quail in the eastern area. Many of our clients enjoy the hunts for waterfowl, combined with hunting mourning doves and wild Bob White quail. In the summer months, while many of our folks are looking forward to the waterfowl season, we offer outstanding white-wing dove shooting, often in combination with wild pigeons and an occasional Eurasian collared dove. On the western edge of this broad country, both sides of the Baja area winter a huge number of ducks, although geese are scarce in this area. Pintails become the primary duck, mottled or Mexican ducks, and many more teal and divers than the eastern part. The variety of waterfowl is impressive, and certainly the numbers. In addition to the waterfowl in the west, the area hosts white-wing doves, artful dodgers larger than our mourning doves but slightly smaller than a pigeon, larger wild pigeons, and mourning doves. In the west, combination shooting for both doves and pigeons is very popular. Most of our western hunts provide duck hunting in the mornings and dove shooting in the afternoons.
