THE HUNT Mexico

Groups staying at the lodge will be duck hunting on the Laguna Madre where over 3 million diver and puddle ducks migrate each winter. Sights of Redheads covering the sky waiting to decoy into spreads are very common on the Madre. You will have six total hunts on your trip with a mix of ducks and quail/dove. This area is home to some of the best WILD quail hunting in the world with dozens of Bob White coveys littered across hedgerows. All in all, this is a true mixed bag hunt! On any given day, you may drive out to one of the numerous freshwater ponds near the lodge, or head to the Laguna Madre and board the boat for a trip out to this saltwater expanse. Once in the blinds, you will see a mix of redhead, widgeon, and plenty of pintails. Blinds are normally bench style with solid footing OR you may be standing on a pallet blind located near one of the many island points where pass shooting in furious and fun. Quail will be hunted traditional style walking hedgerows and flushing birds where most groups will get 12-15 flushes per hunt. These are 100% wild quail and once they are in the air, they are very challenging to hit! The hunt will not use bird dogs rather the bird boys will walk along to flushing quail. We suggest bringing snake chaps or snake boots as there is a change you will come across a snake in the thick brush.

HUNTING LODGE

Mexico

Our lodge has 14 rooms all with private

bathrooms. Rooms are comfortable, clean, air-

conditioned and the lodge has full WiFi

service. A large dining room and full bar

round out the lodge along with a game area

and two lounges. The lodge has WiFi Internet

service and satellite TV to keep in touch with

the world. While there is a full bar stocked

with quality name brand liquors, you may still

have a preference that is not provided. For

this, we suggest stopping at the duty-free shop

near the border in Brownsville, TX to pick-up

your favorite brand. You will not need specific

adapters for your electronics, as the lodge is

110V wired. The food at the lodge is very

good and a wide variety is prepared during

your stay. We have bottled water for drinking

and the ice is perfectly safe to use in drinks as

all ice is filtered. Please do not drink the tap

water and use bottled water for brushing your

teeth.

We do not recommend bringing a firearm on your hunt but

if you decide on it we will assist you. If you have never

brought a firearm to Mexico in the past or it's not a breech

loading firearm, the process is pretty simple.

If the above does not apply, you will need to get approval

by mail or in person by appointment from the Mexican

consulate closest to you.
