What we hunt
Snow Goose & Specklebelly
Decoyed hunts over Chihuahua wheat and harvested fields. We rig electronic calls, full-body decoys, windsocks, a flyer and flappers — the kind of spread that pulls birds into shotgun range. Three hunts in the morning, three in the afternoon.
- ✓ Electronic call, full-body decoys, windsocks
- ✓ Flyer + flappers on the spread
- ✓ AM and PM hunts
- ✓ Hunters help set & pick the spread
Sandhill Crane
Sandhill on the Chihuahua flyway — set with electronic call and full-body decoys, plus pass-shoot setups along travel routes. The ribeye-of-the-sky reputation is earned.
- ✓ Electronic call + full-body decoys
- ✓ Pass-shoot setups available
- ✓ Field care & meat handling included
- ✓ Permit tag arranged per group
Migratory Ducks
Jump-shoot small ponds in the afternoons. Pintail, mallard, redhead, bufflehead and merganser come through Chihuahua on migration — the Centro flyway runs right past the lodge.
- ✓ Pintail, mallard, redhead, bufflehead, merganser
- ✓ Small-pond jump shooting
- ✓ Afternoons only
White-winged & Mourning Dove
Optional dove afternoon — Chihuahua holds both white-winged and mourning dove in season. Add a tarde de paloma to any waterfowl package.
- ✓ White-winged & mourning dove
- ✓ Optional add-on
- ✓ Light gun, easy day

Frequently asked questions

- October through February. Snow geese, specklebelly, sandhill crane, ducks, and dove all overlap during the Centro flyway migration.
- What does a hunt include?
- Airport transport (Chihuahua ↔ lodge), three days of hunting (three AM + three PM hunts), lodging, meals, field care, and arrangement of taxidermy and meat handling. Firearm/ammo import and tips are on the hunter.
- What size group?
- Minimum group is five hunters per package. We can host larger parties — let us know your group when you inquire.
- How do I book?
- A 50% deposit holds your dates. Deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. Balance is due on arrival. We accept wire transfer.
- Do guides speak English?
- Yes — Saúl and lead guides handle bookings and field communication in English. Most US/Canadian hunters report no language friction.
- What about ammo and guns?
- Guns and shells are NOT included — bring your own (we provide the import paperwork) or ask us about rentals. Plan on roughly two cases of 12-gauge for a three-day waterfowl/crane package.
