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

It seemed more of a working friendship, great help with everything including getting the birds back to the U.S., and a reservation mishap was easily resolved within 5 minutes thanks to their being on-call.

"Our duck
hunt in Mazatlan Mexico was the complete vacation package.
The idea of staying in an oceanfront resort while
duck hunting is absolutely genius! While I was out
hunting, my wife enjoyed superb resort amenities. The hotel
is super clean, has great beachside rooms, a beautiful infinity
pool, stunning views, a great bar with live music and excellent
margaritas. The guide staff is top-notch, organized,
knowledgable and put us on lots of birds. The Mazatlan duck

"Our
Mazatlan duck hunting trip to Mexico was a wonderful, but much
needed vacation for my wife and I. The scenery, food, hospitality,
and sunshine was perfect. The duck hunting exceeded our
expectations. When you take turns shooting drakes only, you know
it's as good as it gets. Introducing the other couples via email
before the trip was the perfect touch. Ramsey and Anita were always
available prior, during, and after the trip to answer any
questions. Everything fell into place exactly like it was supposed
to. We had a great time socializing, shooting ducks, sharing great
memories, and making new friends. We appreciate ya'll making it
happen and definitely look forward to our next GetDucks.com
hunt."

Very organized on gun permits, travel suggestions, and no hidden fees. No stress travel. Pick up service was prompt. Crossing the border both ways went smooth. The food was incredible with the chance to try many new dishes. Accommodations were very nice and the brant hunting was great. We enjoyed the Pacific Black Brant hunting most! It was so much fun being able to shoot lead again, and enjoyed just being able to travel and shoot with my good friend.

Big thanks to GetDucks.com, as well as our
significant others, for a terrific Mazatlan Mexico duck hunting
trip! Mazatlan is not just about the ducks - we spent the
afternoons with our wonderful wives and had a blast!
The food is excellent and very inexpensive! Shrimp and spiny lobster are in big supply and available at every restaurant. The view isn't too shabby either!
There is so much to do there sight seeing, shopping & other silly stuff that girls wanted to do. We didn't even touch the amazing fishery available!

Another great hunt with GetDucks.com! Limited out daily. Cinnamon Teal!!!!!!!!!!! The Mazatlan duck hunting guides were excellent. I am very pleased with Pat and Anita making last minute changes due to flight disruptions on the way down. After a miserable plane delay and delayed baggage, Anita was able to arrange an extension and even had camo waiting for me at the desk. I am ready for the Obregon duck and brant hunt next year!!
