sounds at very low levels on the Bachelorette. When hunting small water, it is very vital to call softly and not blow the ducks out.
That was the first time I had a chance to hunt with Dick Kennerknecht, and he really place on an impressive shooting spectacle. I don’t reckon a single duck escaped that he shot at all morning.
Our last hunt was back on the marshland where we hunted the first morning. A large and varied bag was again taken, and everyone saw action right up until dark. It had been a long day, and we were all ready to get back to the Mall Inn for a late dinner, but I for one wished that I had another day or two of hunting left.
In the three days we hunted at Sinalopato, I saw more action than I had all season long at home. It was an experience that lived up to every one of my expectations. Passage in and out of Mexico is a breeze with only a birth certificate and driver’s ticket, the food was tasty, the guns were top shelf (all Benellis and Berettas), and the hunting really was what dreams are made of. Best of all, U.S. hunters can take this remarkable trip after their seasons close at home. All I can say is that if you are looking for the duck hunt of a lifetime take a trip to Mexico’s Pacific Paradise.
SIDEBAR: A small more about duck hunting in Mexico…
When traveling to Mexico for a duck hunt, keep a few things in mind. Seasons run into March, so you can go after US seasons close, and the later you go, the better the ducks’ plumage will be. You will most likely hunt in warm weather, so take set alight clothing. I was thankful to have a set alight rain jacket for the early morning airboat rides, but within an hour I was sure glad I had on my Under Armour HeatGear and TrekLite. Afternoon conditions are much more like those I am used to dove hunting in rather than waterfowling. Most duck hunts can be combined with dove shoots for those that want a combo hunt. Quality guns and shells are usually available from the outfitter, so the expense and hassle of traveling with them is unnecessary. Logistics are much simpler than you force expect, and using a US Hunting Consultant such as Dick Kennerknecht makes traveling south of the border an resolution breeze. If you go, just be ready for the duck hunt of a lifetime and prepare to have a sore shoulder!
