The Hunt
The duck and dove combo is a great value hunt that gives your group two different shoots in one Mexico trip.
Duck hunts take place between salt marsh and fresh water, with dry ground blinds placed around current bird movement and conditions. Dove hunts move the day into active crop fields, where the pace changes and the shooting can stack up fast.
Duck hunts follow a 20 bird or 100 shell limit. Dove hunts have no bird limit. The SOBs plan each day around current scouting, weather, bird movement, and where the best shooting is shaping up.
March is a strong month for duck plumage, which makes the combo trip a good fit for hunters who want more variety while the birds are looking their best.
Every bird is used. Ducks and doves are collected, cleaned, eaten locally, or donated into nearby communities.
Trophy taxidermy is available in Mexico. Because raw birds cannot be transported back to the United States, we can connect you with trusted local taxidermy services to prepare your trophy for the trip home.
A DAY IN THE FIELD
01
ARRIVE in Mazatlán
After you land in Mazatlán and clear customs, your SOBs or the lodge team will be there to meet your group, load the bags, and get everyone headed toward the house or lodge.
03
Early Breakfast
Combo days start before the sun is fully up. Coffee, juice, and a cooked breakfast come first, followed by the plan for the morning hunt.
05
Lunch and a Break
Head back for lunch and a nap. Cool off, hit the pool and grab a little downtime before round two.
07
Dinner, Drinks & Another Day Coming
After the afternoon hunt, head back to the house or lodge for drinks, a home cooked dinner, and a little time to wind down before another full day.
02
Settle Into the Trip
The drive is about an hour and a half. Snacks and drinks are part of the ride, so your group can settle in before you ever walk through the door.
04
Morning Duck Hunt
The first hunt of the day takes your group into the marsh country. Your guides set the blinds, read the morning movement, and adjust around what the ducks are doing.
06
Afternoon Dove Shoot
The afternoon shifts into the dove fields. Your guides place the group based on where doves have been feeding and flying, then keep an eye on the movement as the shoot unfolds.
Your Duck and Dove Combo package includes:
Airport
transfers
Your group is picked up after arrival and taken to camp.

Why This Trip Works:
01
More Shooting in One Trip
The combo hunt gives your group ducks and doves without adding another destination or another round of travel.
02
Best Bang for Your Buck
More time in the field, more variety, and the same all inclusive setup with tips already covered.
03
March Is a Good Month to Go
January through March is combo season, but March is especially strong for duck plumage.
04
The Day Has a Good Rhythm
Early duck hunt, lunch break, afternoon dove shoot, dinner and drinks. The schedule keeps the trip full without making it feel like work.
05
Lodging Follows the Birds
Where you stay depends on group size, availability, and where the birds are moving. Smaller groups may be placed in a beach house. Larger groups are usually set up at the lodge.
