Come hunt with us two unique species of quail in the traditional way with pointing dogs in the geographic heart of Mexico. A truly different upland hunting adventure in a special, and still completely wild, habitat.
The Place
We hunt in many small private properties in the State of Morelos, about 2 hours from Mexico City international airport.
The actual wildlife Mexican law only authorize to hunt in UMAS; in Morelos we have a particular figure called “Regional UMA” and that allowed us to hunt many places inside the State.
Normally it’s a difficult terrain with many small rocks and tall grass; the climate is hot and very dry. The perfect habitat for the birds we will hunt…
The Birds
You will have the opportunity to hunt 2 different species of quail, both unique, one of them only found in a small territory inside Mexico.
This unique quail is the “Banded Quail” (Philortyx fasciatus), known in Spanish as “copetonas” ; a little smaller than the common bobwhite. Very elusive, fast flying bird that trends to explode from your feet, sometime in coveys of 20 to 30 individuals.
The other one is the Bobwhite, but a subspecies that inhabits the south. The male is almost red in color, that is why we call them “las rojas”; a very nice looking bird that is a little easier to shoot.
The Season
Runs from the 2nd. weekend of January until the 2nd. weekend in April. You can hunt any day of the week.
The Hunt
With over 30 years of hunting experience in those places; we hunt with pointer dogs in the “traditional way”.
The terrain is difficult and the birds can “explode” from your feet, even without a dog point so you need to be ready all the time.
In average we find from 8 to 12 coveys in a full hunting day; a lot of walking is needed. This is not a hunt for weak persons, you must be in good shape to fully enjoy the adventure.
Accommodations and Meals
Accommodations will be provided in a private property in Cuernavaca; an independent bungalow with private bath and clean, comfortable beds.
You will be able to taste different cuisines, both Mexican and Spanish homemade dishes will be served to you every day.
Package and prices
We offer an “all inclusive” standard hunt package for 3 full days of quail hunting (the hunt starts early in the morning, take a lunch and rest at mid day, and continue hunting in the afternoon).
Prices per person per package:
One hunter: $1,500 USD
Two hunters (for each one): $1,350
Three hunters (for each one): $1,250
