HUNTER: Dale Roden
HUNT: Mexico Dove Hunting Lodge
I have hunted and fished in Mexico for many years now, and I can say that nothing compares to the experience you enjoy at this hunting lodge. They have spared no expense in making the accommodations the absolute best it can be. Custom built furniture, comfortable beds and huge walk-in showers are just a few of the items that make it so great. I went for the famous dove hunting, but this place offers so much more.
The dove hunting is like a video game!
There are literally millions of White wing doves in the areas surrounding the lodge. The dove shooting starts as soon as you get out of the truck and doesn’t stop till Jose says it is time to go. I really love the fact that I don’t have to hassle with taking my shotgun with me. They have plenty of Benelli shotguns for you to use in both 20 and 12 gauges. Juan and Simone do an excellent job of scouting and know exactly where the doves are and where to put you on the field to get the most action.
The bass fishing is great and the guides are even better.
My friends Juan, Simone and Ricky know the lake like the back of their hand. It is common to catch 50-100 fish per person per day with some 8-10 pounders mixed in there. I caught a 12 lb 8 oz giant in September. Different fishing techniques work better at different times of the year, but you can tie on your favorite lure and you are almost guaranteed to catch big bass.
Juan is also the duck hunting master.
I have never been a fan of duck hunting because I always thought it was too cold and too much work. That is not the case with these guys. its MEXICO, so a light jacket is about all you need in the mornings. The blinds are up, the decoys are out, you just show up and shoot (a lot). They even have different blind locations for different species. Duck hunting in Mexico is amazing.
Simone is the Bobwhite quail guy.
He has the dogs dialed in and ready to go. It is not uncommon to get on 8-10 coveys of birds in an outing. My warning is be selective on your shots. The limit of quail is 10 per person and it can be over with really quick. I just enjoy watching the dogs do their thing while bird hunting.
I have to mention the 2 guys that make all this happen. Jose is the lodge manager and he does an unbelievable job of coordinating all of this. He picks you up at the airport, makes sure you have everything you need while there and then takes you back to the airport at the end of your trip. There is a lot of work that goes into all the hunting and fishing and he truly enjoys what he does.
Last but not least is Luis. This man never sleeps.
He meets you upon arrival with a tray of margaritas, and that glass never gets empty while you are there. He wakes you up in the morning with coffee, and he is the last man standing at night when the last hunter goes to bed. I have known Luis for about 12 years now, and I can say I have never seen him not smiling.
I can’t wait to get back!!!

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
