Mexico Duck Hunting Obregon
Mexico duck hunting in Obregon is a combo featuring Mexico duck hunts, dove hunts and more – the perfect Mexico wingshooting vacation hunt. Whether you’re an avid shotgunner simply looking to add high-quality shooting to your post-season agenda, or a serious collector seeking new life-list species, Mexico duck hunting trip of a lifetime – packages may be customized to include hunting ducks, doves, quail, even bass fishing. Black brant are sometimes available, but this is not a Mexico brant hunt.
This Obregón Mexico Duck Hunt Combo is no longer “all-inclusive.” Please carefully review Trip Specifics for an itemized listing of all extra expenses.
Obregon is perfectly situated in the Yaqui Valley, the fertile bread basket of Mexico that’s bound to the west by the Sea of Cortez. The landscape is millions of acres of nearly-continuous agricultural production, primarily wheat but also other grains, an extensive system of impressively sophisticated freshwater canals devised for irrigation, freshwater ponds that catch irrigation runoff, and large, tidal-influenced estuaries historically renowned for overwintering a tremendous number and diversity of Pacific Flyway wildfowl. The result is a Mexico duck hunting paradise: duck hunting in Obregon Mexico is a trophy collector’s paradise to include Cinnamon Teal, Green-winged Teal, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Pintail, Mexican Mallard, Black Brant, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Canvasback, Redhead, Black-Bellied Whistling Duck, Northern Shoveler, Lesser Scaup, Red-breasted Merganser and more. Mexican Mallard density is likely greater in the Yaqui Valley than anywhere in the entire world – adding one to your life-list is assured.
Besides waterfowl? Gambel’s Quail thrive in the valley, where they covey in narrow slivers of wooded thickets between agricultural fields, but the real trophy upland bird prize here is Elegant Quail, a species endemic to the region and that likely exist in no greater number than on our outfitter’s exclusive landholdings. During the waterfowl season, the fabled flocks of white-winged doves have retreated to mountains, where sorghum is then plentiful, but guests have little problem warming their barrels with 10 boxes of cartuchos (or more) at swarms of mourning doves and later-flying white-wings. Or maybe you’d rather bend a bass rod at 32,000-acre Lake Oviachic, where 15-20+ fish, some upwards of 8-pounds, are not uncommon.
Guests are lodged in the well-appointed Hacienda La Nellita, located in downtown Obregon only 15 minutes from the airport. Amenities feature 9 comfortable, ensuite bedrooms, sprawling lounge areas, open bar, large dining room, roomy exterior patio, satellite television, jacuzzi, telephone, wifi and fax. Enjoy friendly atmosphere, impeccable service, security and the personal touch of experienced, well-trained staff (many have been here for decades). Excellent chef-prepared meals of beef or chicken, fresh seafood, Mexican specialties, and regional dessert favorites are served by attentive wait-staff. An open bar includes selections to include Crown Royal and the very best margaritas in Mexico.
The typical day begins with an early wake-up, a cup of coffee and bowl of cereal. Drive times range 1-1.5 hours. Airboats and field-staff have deployed decoys and await the hunters. Two to 3 hunters are placed in amply brushed blinds with solid wood flooring. Enjoy warm, delicious breakfast tacos at sunrise. Each hunter’s seat contains an assortment of iced beverages, and containers are usually much heavier with ammo before than after the hunt. Airboats regularly sweep up downed birds, check on the hunters’ success, or move them to another location if for some reason the shooting is less than expected – and they’re always available via radio contact. When the tide or the birds cease movement for the morning, hunters will enjoy box field lunch in a shady spot. Sometimes, the chef and wait-staff will present full lunch overlooking the Sea of Cortez, along with a full bar and hammocks. Following siesta, hunters will return for an optional afternoon hunt before retiring to the estancia. Afternoon activities consist of duck hunting, dove hunting or quail hunting. Expect to hunt both ducks and doves during the afternoons (unless you instead decide to return to lodge instead).
From full-sized trucks that are meticulously detailed each night to the powerful airboats that slide effortlessly across the shallow bays, top-of-the-line equipment ensures your comfort and hunting enjoyment. FREE use of clean, reliable semi-auto 12-gauge shotguns is included, or bring your own trusty scattergun for a small import fee that includes 2 guns plus an ammo allowance. There are no other Sonora Mexico waterfowl operations that have access to as many high-quality properties – the properties you will hunt are truly among the very best in the region.
Truly excellent hunting programs like this do not happen by accident. A current theme among the many client testimonials for these Mexico duck hunts is the hard work and dedication of everyone involved ensuring that each guest gets their desired species and, importantly has a great time. This is exactly why these hunts sell out so far in advance. In addition to reading many client testimonials, listen to how clients describe their Mexico Duck Hunting experiences in Obregon in this Duck Season Somewhere episode.

More Information
More Info
Mexican Duck
The Mexican Duck (Anas diazi), or Mexican Mallard, is a dabbling duck that breeds in Mexico and in isolated instances in the southwestern USA. Resembling a female Mallard at a glance, but with a slightly darker body, the Mexican Duck is mainly brown, with a mallard-like blue speculum edged with white, obvious in flight or at rest. The male has a brighter yellow bill than the female. They make mallard-like vocalizations.
Once recognized as a sub-species of Mallard, it has ben argued that they most closely share origins with the American Black Duck. The species is undergoing a slow decline, presumably due to habitat loss. It hybridizes with Mallards which are better-adapted to utilizing habitat altered by human activity.
The Mexican Duck was listed as endangered species at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in 1967 but was removed in 1978. Arguably, the greatest density of Mexican Ducks in the world exist in Sonora Mexico’s Yaqui Valley.
Elegant Quail
Elegant Quail (Callipepla douglasii) are endemic to the Pacific-slope thorn forests of north-western Mexico, primarily the mountainous uplands of Sonora. The golden-buff crest of the male is the most striking feature.
The head is dark, speckled with black and gray that extends to the throat. The sides of the neck are grayish-brown, the back and sides are brown, streaked with white. The breast and belly are gray and brown with large white spots. The legs, feet and bill are dark gray to black.
Pacific Black Brant
Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans), or Pacific Brant, are an abundant small goose associated with Pacific seashores that breed in the high Arctic tundra and winter along the Pacific Coast. About 50% of the world population of Pacific Black Brant overwinter in Mexico, with the much smaller remainder overwintering in interior portions.
There are an estimated 115,000-150,000 black brant in the world and about 14,000 are taken each year by hunters. The highest numbers of Pacific Black Brant are shot in Mexico, where limits are a relatively generous 5. For the past few years, brant migration to Mexico has withered, but with patience and luck the hunting can still be solid here. Interesting fact: The oldest age record for any duck, goose or swan in North America is held by a Pacific Brant at 28.5 years.
The Pacific Brant is slightly larger than a Mallard. Males are somewhat bigger than females; otherwise, the sexes are not distinguishable. It is one of the darkest waterfowl with a black head, neck and upper breast and a white necklace on the sides of the neck. The back and upper wing coverts are edged with lighter grays on a darker grayish brown feathers. The Black Brant has a very dark breast and belly with little or no contrast separating them. The flanks are much whiter than the Atlantic Brant. The black bill is short and stubby. They are a highly vocal and gregarious species that are receptive to calls and decoy like a dream. An attractive addition to game rooms, they are popular among collectors and the passion of devoted Black Brant hunters.

Customer Testimonials
Never experienced anything like our Obregon Mexico duck hunting combo trip!
I have never experienced anything like our Obregon Mexico duck hunting combo trip! We had groups of 30-60 pintails circling and decoying, killed cinnamon teal, green and blue wings, wigeon, brant, shovelers, black bellies, Mexican mallard, etc. The guides worked their tails off for us, took very good care. I can’t wait to go back. Ramsey Russell’s GetDucks is a first class operation and he and his HEAVEN SENT WIFE Mrs. Anita were only a phone call away the entire trip!!

Obregon Mexico duck hunt was fantastic!
Obregon Mexico duck hunt was fantastic! We had a couple of mornings that were slower than the outfitter expected, but the outfitter made a change and we had tremendous shooting opportunities for the rest of our days. Including two memorable hunts of a lifetime. We were also able to take Pacific brant limits and our trophy target, elegant quail.
One hunt stands out in my mind where we hiked out about 400 yards through the mud to a blind the guys had built that morning on a marsh. We had a slow hunt in the morning and the outfitter was eager for us to have a good hunt. Once we were in place the birds just piled in almost a fast as we could load the guns. We shot cinnamon teal, bluewing teal, pintails and Mexican mallards. Group after group, all no farther than 25 yards. It was crazy.

Be hard pressed to find a better group of hunters to share duck camp with during Mexico duck and brant hunt in Obregon
I wish the shooting had been better but things were pretty perfect the way they were. El Niño had pushed the bulk of the birds northward and we struggled as a group that first week in March. The group of people were to be cherished however, be hard pressed to find a better group of hunters to share duck camp with. I was chiefly thankful that I was able to experience such a trip as this and just be in the salt marshes enjoying another sunrise.

It’s hard to pinpoint just one thing that stood out over all the rest during our excellent Mexico brant and duck hunt in Obregon. Each hunt was great and overall had plenty of shooting
It’s hard to pinpoint just one thing that stood out over all the rest during our excellent Mexico brant and duck hunt in Obregon. Each hunt was great and overall had plenty of shooting, and I was able to harvest all the species I was after. From the very beginning, the staff was hard working, polite, and did everything to make sure our entire trip went as smoothly as possible. The staff was always on time, and each hunt was executed perfectly. Blinds were already brushed and ready and decoys set. All we had to do was pull the trigger and the staff took care of the rest. Overall an amazing experience. Hanging out at the lodge after each day was very enjoyable though. Anita was always prompt with emails and extremely helpful from the very beginning, before I even decided to book. I had several questions during the planning process of the trip and Anita was always very nice and helpful and was sure that all my paperwork was in order and in time. Getducks.com did all the leg work and took out all the stress of choosing the right outfitter and making sure all of the important details were attended. Anita was helpful and it was great to hunt with Ramsey. Getducks.com has everything a destination hunter and trophy collector could ask for. Their packages are very appealing and well described. Both Ramsey and Anita were helpful through the entire process and even during the hunt.

GetDucks.com did an awesome job and I’m truly blessed to say I got to experience Obregon Mexico brant and duck hunting first hand
I just took the survey for my trip. I wanted to say thank you again. I tried to be critical, and I really couldn’t be. GetDucks.com did an awesome job and I’m truly blessed to say I got to experience Obregon Mexico brant and duck hunting first hand. Everything was as promised and we were very successful. Also the lodge and all employees were incredible. Everyone treated us like family from the moment we walked in to the final goodbyes at our airport departure. Everything was trouble free and clearly explained as advertised. I was a little apprehensive about transporting a firearm and it went smoothly. All of the value and memories of this hunt are completely undersold. Ramsey and Anita are top notch and don’t need to change a thing. GetDucks.com is a huge name in the industry, but Ramsey is extremely personable and patient with all of the dumb questions I asked. He’s also a great guy to share the blind with. I can’t wait to get back down there again.

Mexico duck and brant hunt at times seemed as good as ducks in Argentina…All this at a very good price.
Good numbers of species of duck and geese to shoot. Staff were very accommodating and attentive. If something was needed, they were there. Travel from my home town to the lodge was easy and quick. All this at a very good price. My fondest memory of this Mexico duck and brant hunt was to be able to hunt with the “World Famous Ramsey Russell.” And, to watch those dumb brant drawn into our decoys by a black kite from great distances was amazing. The numbers of ducks and pass shooting opportunities at Los Lobos Bay was outstanding and at times seemed as good as ducks in Argentina and Uruguay. Anita provided excellent communication with me during the planning and preparation of this trip. Ramsey is very attentive to his client’s needs and makes sure that his clients get what they came for and Anita makes the planning and preparation a breeze.

We’re going to add an extra day next time to include bass fishing. GetDucks.com did an excellent job organizing this trip and I will strongy suggest your services and this destination to friends.

From the moment I stepped off the plane it all felt “right.”
![obregonmexicoduckhunting360[1]_240x300](https://www.getducks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/obregonmexicoduckhunting3601_240x300.jpg)
I’m a duck hunter. Or at least I try to hunt ducks. Southeast Pennsylvania is not exactly a duck hunters paradise. But, I do manage to harvest a few for the table each year. I’ve traveled to a few places through-out the country. Trying to add to my collection of prized birds. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. But each trip held it’s own rewards. Just being in the marsh at daybreak to watch the world wake-up in a new place is something to live.
A few years ago, I decided I really wanted a Blue-winged Teal to add to the collection. Started making the calls, without much promise. Then I was told Mexico is the place to go. I found GETDUCKS.COM, operated by Ramsey Russell. The website itself was impressive, and looking at his Facebook page, I was convinced he is an experienced world-traveling duck hunter. When I called Ramsey, he told me about a few upcoming trips in Mexico, including a hosted Obregon Mexico duck hunt that he invited me to join. The price was right and included everything except for ammo and airfare. I like to K.I.S.S. and have a good time. This sounded perfect and perfect it turned out to be.
From the moment I stepped off the plane it all felt “right.” It was a pleasant surprise to walk into a beautiful estancia in the middle of town. I felt like I was in someone’s private clubhouse. Our bags were put in the very nice comfortable rooms, with the air-conditioning already on.
Harvesting different duck species every day was fantastic experience. The quality and quantity of the birds was spectacular!! The group bagged at least 15 different species of waterfowl, and saw many different types of shorebirds, wading birds and pelicans while hunting the tidal flats. All absolutely beautiful!! The birds I brought home to mount: Green-winged teal, Blue-winged Teal and Cinnmon teal, Wigeon, Pintail, Lesser Scaup, Mexican Duck and Shoveler. We harvested drake and hen Redheads worthy of the wall. One day we harvested the most beautiful Gadwall I’ve ever seen, an I’m kind of kicking myself for not bringing one of them home. Absolutely beautiful.
One of the nicest rewards was seeing the local children at the boat ramp one morning, smiling to be getting ducks for dinner that night. Two waiters awaited us every afternoon at the lodge, one with coca-cola and cold water, another with fresh margaritas and cold cervezas. Appetizers of bacon-wrapped dove breasts, chicken wings, quesadillas, and the best FRESH guacamole in the world were all very good and held the wolves at bay until dinner. Plenty of time to take a nice shower, update the log book, enjoy story-tellings from the day and past trips.
We ate like kings throughout the week to include the largest smoked pork chops ever, lentil soup with peppers, BBQ chicken, tortilla soup, Mexican night with home-made tamales, fajitas, chiles rellenos, polenta, and black bean salsa that were all fantastic!!. The final night we had porthouse steak with guacamole and grilled onion sides while being entertained by a 10-man mariachi band. Perfect ending to a Great week!!!!

Fantastic Mexico duck hunting trip
Thanks to Ramsey Russell’s GetDucks.com, my Obregon Mexico duck hunting trip (to include my bringing personal shotguns) went perfectly. Trophy birds were easily imported and I brought home black brant, cinnamon teal, Mexican mallard, and a black-bellied whistling duck. The duck hunting, accommodations, and services were fantastic. Thanks for such a great and memorable hunting trip.

Recommend this Mexico brant hunt to anyone
Just wanted to send an email tell you how good of a time I had duck and brant hunting in Obregon, Mexico. As you know I went not knowing anyone and came back with many friends. Frank and his staff do a wonderful job making sure that you are comfortable and that all of your needs are well taken care of.
This was the first time that I had actually met Ramsey in person. He was great and was constantly making sure I was having a good time. I would recommend this hunt to anyone. Thanks to Cherie for the smooth travel arrangements. Thank you GetDucks.com for a fantastic time and I’m sure you will be hearing from me again soon.
