We had an excellent hunt. It was like going back to the 1950's when my Dad would hunt in Mexico. The Ranch House is rustic with no air conditioning. Nights cooled down and it was only a problem when trying to take a siesta mid day. There is a Hotel with AC about 4 kilometers away. The mix of species made it interesting. There were: Red Billed Pigeons, White Wing, Eurasian, White Fronted, Morning Dove, Short billed Pigeons and a few others. Half or more of or bag would be the Red Billed pigeons which are almost the size of the common Rock Pigeon.
This is not a lodge type trip and only for the more adventurist types. It helps to speak at least some Spanish. I highly recommend it and hope to go back soon.
We were handicapped by having only the two of us hunting most of the time. More hunters would have helped. The only large bag taken was when we had a group of seven hunters and we took somewhere around 600 birds in a couple of hours that day. The sorghum was just starting to get ripe too and hunting will be even better in a week or two. The bird boys kept saying there were only about half as many birds as last year, still there were thousands of birds.
