Field Report

After first visiting in March 2023, was extremely excited for the potential this new  duck and dove hunt in Nayarit Mexico represented in terms of its authenticity, hunting quality, and all-inclusive value. Even though it was not yet online, clients in the know blew up our phone and email, and I accompanied 5 weeks worth of client hunts in 2024. It was even better than remembered–and not only because they’d built a beautiful new lodge. From mostly dry blinds in small potholes, the duck hunting and shooting volume was everything expected. As for the dove hunting, it was the bar-none best I’ve ever experienced in Mexico. Stationed in deep shade near almost-ready-to-harvest milo, it felt as familiar as home and I truthfully looked forward to it every afternoon.

All 2024 clients returned with fully-plumed trophies, enjoyed the authentic Mexico atmosphere, raved about the fresh-from-the-local market foods, and bragged to me about the staff services. Except for a single date, all clients got their cinnamon teal. I even managed t scratch the first fulvous whistling ducks personally taken in North America! The staff here consists of simple, hard-working Mexicans that are sincere in delivering a great experience for their new American amigos. This Nayarit duck hunt in Mexico will be all-inclusive, including everything except flying to Mazatlan and ammo. There’ll be no hinting at or strong arming for tips. Morning duck hunts, afternoon dove hunts, excellent guest services and the best margaritas on earth. Am absolutely certain that this hunt will become absolutely legendary among our worldwide duck hunt offerings.

About the Area – Nayarit Mexico Duck Hunts

Nayarit is distinguished by its rich natural attractions, from its National Marshes (considered one of the most important wetlands in Mexico) to its incredible, remote beaches, and flora and fauna. The Marismas Nacionales–San Blas mangroves, a network of coastal Pacific lagoons and tidal mangrove forests, extend along the state’s northern coast and into adjacent Sinaloa state. The mangroves are home to abundant wildlife, including migratory and resident waterbirds. It is bordered by the states of Sinaloa to the northwest, Durango to the north, Zacatecas to the northeast and Jalisco to the south. To the west, Nayarit has a significant share of coastline on the Pacific Ocean, including the islands of Marías and Marietas. The economy of the state is based mainly on agriculture and fishing.

Aztatlán colonization of the western Mexican coast – including parts of Sinaloa, Nayarit and Jalisco – as occurring as early as 900 AD, with some evidence suggesting it might have been as early as 520 AD. Encountered on the western coast by the Spanish invaders in 1500, the cultures were descended from these original Aztatlán settlements. In the colonial period, the port of San Blas was one of the most important trade ports on the American Pacific coast.

Nayarit is predominantly an agricultural state, and produces a large variety of crops such as beans, sorghum, maize, tobacco, rice, chiles, peanuts, melons, tomatoes, mangoes, bananas, and avocados. Beginning in the late 90’s, Nayarit has become known as a producer of specialty Arabica coffee, In addition to these crops, livestock and fishing are also central to the local economy. Approximately six percent of the land in Nayarit is pasture land, with the most common livestock. Nayarit has 289 kilometers of coastline, which provides an abundance of fish and shellfish, including bass, snapper, oysters.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES – Mexico Duck Hunting Nayarit

Hunters that try to import ammunition without the proper permits discover the ugly consequences.  This is a serious criminal offense in Mexico, so don’t dream of trying it.  Firearm and ammunition is available there. Unable to import firearms because the Mexico military is located 2 hours north and cannot reliably be there to process your shotguns.

PLEASE NOTE: Black-bellied whistling ducks are listed as CITES species and require special permits. For this reason you’ll be unable to transport them back immediately after the hunt.
