I was there in early September. We did shoot pigeons/parakeets 1 afternoon, but it was an hour or so drive away. If I remember correctly we were on the tail end of when they typically shoot pigeons. They had a limit and we could only shoot 100 pigeons each. It was a nice change from just shooting doves around the lodge.

The food at Sierra Brava was spectacular, but we didn't have beef as much as you'd expect. Lots of variety.

I'd recommend at least 3 full days at the lodge with a half day on each end. I know most of the packages are 2 full days, but why go all that way and not stay a little extra. Don't be afraid to make them an all inclusive offer that includes everything and at least 1000 shells per day. That's how I've gotten my best deals there.
