Obregon, Mexico Trip Report

[Deadeye]

The rate is $2,790 to include EVERYTHING and you may use lodge guns at no additional charge or bring your own for $120 import fee (up to 2 firearms). UN.

This includes shells as well? This looks to be exactly what I'm looking for... closer to home, less expensive, doves/quail/ducks and a fish or two. So Ramsey or Pat, would you go in October or February? Also, I assume you go thru Dallas or Houston.. is it then a direct flight to destination?

Thanks.

I'm sure it includes everything except ammo. Turn me loose down there with ammo included and they will need a U-Haul just to keep me in shells! White wings can be that good. October is prime dove hunting time. But Feb. can be a good combo hunt for both doves and ducks. Flights to Hermosillo can be made direct from Dallas and then a nominal transfer fee to Obregon, but flights connecting to Obregon can come through Phoenix. RR can correct me if I'm wrong.

Edited to read "everything except ammo." That rate includes: 4 NIGHTS OF LODGING AT OUR BEAUTIFUL GABINO'S PRIVATE LODGE, ALL GROUND TRANSPORTATION, ALL MEALS, OPEN BAR INCLUDING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL DRINKS, 6 SESSIONS OF HIGH VOLUME WHITE-WING DOVE HUNTING, GUN RENTAL, HUNTING LICENSE, GUN PERMIT, ONE BIRD BOY PER HUNT, ALL HOUSEHOLD TIPS AND GUIDE TIPS AND ALL THE AMENITIES OF A WORLD CLASS OPERATION. AMMO IS $14/BOX.

The BEST white-winged dove hunting volume is October. The best combo opportunities are February. As Pat stated, best to fly into Obregon directly (either through Mexico City without guns or Phoenix with guns) or you can fly into Hermosilla (2.75-hour transfer for $30 round-trip).

IF THERE'S ENOUGH INTEREST, I'LL CONSIDER ORGANIZING A HOSTED WHITE-WINGED DOVE HUNT. REQUIRE MINIMUM 12 HUNTERS TO HAVE THE LODGE EXCLUSIVELY, BUT THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, THERE'S PLENTY ROOM.

Regarding the February duck-brant-dove combo, we've got 3 weeks in the books for next year February 3-6, Feb 8-11, and Feb 13-16. Some are already full to nearly full, and will be promoting via social media and email blast in upcoming weeks. Not sure when, but this huntvwill also be featured on World of Beretta and in Wildfowl Magazine. Contact ramsey@getducks.com or pat@getducks.com for more info or to join. Big advantage of hosted events is that we facilitate trophy importation at no additional cost - check around and you'll see this isn't the case elsewhere, far from it!
