MAZATLAN MEXICO DUCK HUNTS
Duck
hunting in Mazatlan Mexico is the South-of-the-border duck hunting
experience which surpasses all others. With over 30 years of
hunting in the southern half of Sinaloa Mexico's west coast, our
staff is professional, knowledgeable and endeavors to provide you
the best duck hunting vacation imaginable, in an area that also

family. The Pacific and Central flyways converge here
to provide a tremendous variety of waterfowl. Over 15
different North American duck species are harvested by hunters and
avid bird collectors. Getting bird specimens taxidermy is
easily accomplished.
The Mexican government is very generous with duck limits. Duck
hunting limits are 20 ducks per day for which the operator allows
100 cartridges. For those that would 
rather
dove hunt in the afternoons, than to lounge around the pool or
stroll along the white sand beaches, dove hunting is available and
limits are 40-50 doves per day (changing yearly) including a
mixed bag of white wing and morning doves. The duck hunting
season runs 120 days, from the first week of November through the
first week of March (with the exception of Christmas Day and New
Year's Day) - perfect for timing a winter duck hunting vacation
following your state's season closure.
Our Mexico duck hunts take place in private fresh water ponds, and the beautifully scenic estuaries along Mexico's west coast, which are plentiful within a short drive. Hunt from natural and man-made dry blinds with no more than 2 hunters per blind.
From the vehicles to the airboats, the top-of-the-line equipment ensures your comfort and hunting enjoyment. Our shotguns include a dozen new Benelli Super Black-Eagles. There's no hassle traveling through customs with firearms - gun use is included in package FREE, no additional cost.

Field Report
Great shooting is expected, but the kinds of feedback below best demonstrate this Mazatlan Mexico Duck Hunting package's annual popularity:
Bringing me along on your Mazatlan Mexico duck hunting trip could backfire - I might not let you go hunting there without me again! I can still hear the waves pounding the beach just outside our patio door, I'm craving Tamazula Shrimp from Los Arcos and that 80-degree weather was much better than the snow back home! You shot ducks and I enjoyed a great beach vacation. How about some more couples packages from GetDucks.com in the near future! ~ Anita Russell, GetDucks.com Travel & Administration
"Just a note to say thank you for the great trip to Mexico (Mazatlan Duck Hunt). The accomodations were great and the view from our balcony was priceless. It was so nice to meet you and Anita." ~ Jackie Beck, Non-hunting Spouse
