Dove, Quail & Duck Hunts on the Laguna Madre

San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico is one of the most exciting and easy-to-reach wingshooting destinations in North America. Located in a game-rich agricultural region near the coast and the famous Laguna Madre, this area offers outstanding white-wing dove hunting, Mexico duck hunting, quail hunting behind pointing dogs, and mourning dove hunting.

Worldwide Wingshooter is proud to work with a very reliable and experienced hunting family in this region. Their beautiful 18-bedroom hunting lodge, professional staff, first-rate vehicles, airboats for offshore duck hunting, and kennel of pointing dogs make this one of the best all-around wingshooting operations in Mexico.

This is an excellent destination for corporate groups, families, friends, and serious wingshooters who want high-volume hunting without having to travel all the way to South America.

One of the best parts of this trip is how easy it is to get there. Simply fly into Harlingen, Texas or Brownsville, Texas, and the lodge team will pick you up and handle the ground transportation into Mexico. The drive is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. This is a very convenient and safe way to experience world-class Mexico wingshooting.

I personally travel down with many of my groups to help translate, coordinate details, and make sure everyone has a smooth, safe, and unforgettable experience.

Duck Hunting on the Laguna Madre

Duck hunting in Mexico should be at the top of every waterfowler’s bucket list. The Laguna Madre and nearby freshwater ponds winter large numbers of ducks coming down the Central Flyway. With low hunting pressure, liberal limits, and strong concentrations of wintering birds, this region offers some of the most exciting duck hunting in Mexico.

Hunters can expect a variety of ducks including:

Redheads
Pintails
Blue-wing teal
Green-wing teal
Wigeon
Shovelers
Other migrating waterfowl

Many duck hunts take place on the Laguna Madre using airboats, while other hunts may be on inland freshwater ponds depending on bird movement, weather, and water conditions.

This is warm-weather duck hunting at its best. With average January temperatures around 75 degrees, you may spend much of your hunt in a lightweight shirt, although occasional cold fronts can push through and improve bird movement.

For hunters used to crowded public marshes and short seasons back home, duck hunting in San Fernando, Mexico can be an eye-opening experience. Many hunters shoot more ducks in a few days here than they do during an entire season at home.

Quail Hunting Behind Pointing Dogs

San Fernando also offers excellent quail hunting behind pointing dogs. The region’s brush, grasslands, and agricultural edges create strong habitat for wild quail.

Quail hunts are conducted with experienced guides and trained bird dogs. For hunters who love watching dogs work, walking behind pointing dogs in Mexico is a special experience. These hunts can be combined with ducks, white-wing doves, or mourning doves depending on season and availability.

Quail hunting is especially popular during the late fall and winter months when combo hunts are available.

Mourning Dove Hunts & Combo Wingshooting Packages

In addition to white-wing doves, the area also offers mourning dove hunting. Combo hunts can include:

Duck hunting on the Laguna Madre
Quail hunting behind pointing dogs
Mourning dove hunting
White-wing dove hunting during season

Duck, quail, and mourning dove combo hunts are typically available from late October through late February. These combination trips are a great way to experience multiple styles of wingshooting in one easy-to-reach destination.

Hunts can often be customized when arranged in advance. Extra days may also be added depending on lodge availability.

White-Wing Dove Hunting in Tamaulipas

The San Fernando region is known for excellent white-wing dove hunting. White-wing season begins in August and runs into mid-October, when large concentrations of birds build up in the agricultural areas.

This is fast-paced, high-volume dove shooting. Hunters commonly shoot large numbers of shells during both the morning and afternoon hunts. Depending on bird movement and shooting ability, hunters may shoot 10 to 25 boxes of shells per day.

White-wing dove hunting in Mexico is a great option for groups that want a fun, social, action-packed wingshooting trip close to the United States. It is ideal for corporate entertainment, family groups, and serious dove hunters who want volume without flying to Argentina.
