Nayarit Mexico Duck Dove Combo
February 23-25, 2025 SOLD OUT
Marsh 7-9, 2025
March 11-13, 2025
The New Mexico Duck hunt in Nayarit is one that I’m very excited about. It’s ducks in the mornings and doves during the afternoons. It’s an immersive experience in an off-the-beaten-path part of Mexico that’s never been commercially hunted. Similarly to Mazatlan, we’re hunting thirsty ducks. The teal trio–blue-wined teal, green-winged teal, cinnamon teal–along with northern shovelers comprise the bulk of our daily bag, but there are also bluebills, pintail, whistling ducks and wigeons. The food is great, the margaritas are the best anywhere, and the service is unsurpassed. This hunt is all inclusive, too. Fly into Mazatlan, pay only for the ammo you shoot, and everything else is included. Look forward to seeing you there. Call for details or to join me.
