The Eastern Coast of Mexico has long been a legendary destination for American hunters due to the huge populations of whitening dove, mourning dove, bobwhite quail, and the unparalleled migration of wintering ducks and geese each winter. Liberal limits and welcoming communities await the thousands of hunters returning to Mexico each winter for a hunt like you can’t experience anywhere else. Quail hunting in Tamaulipas is perhaps unrivaled in North America. Peak years for the bobwhite quail cycle bring hunters up to a covey of 30-40 birds per day.
The epicenter for hunting in Eastern Mexico is only two hours south of the US border, and easily accessible by air via nearby Texas airports. Travel from these airports to lodges located in Tamaulipas is normally less than two and a half hours by van, and less than an hour if hunters choose to charter from the border into Mexico by air. These short distances make it ideal for American hunters to take advantage of the winter migrations in the area.
Crazy Feather Outfitters retains the top lodge for quail in the area, Loma Colorado Lodge with operator Rene Lerma. Offering exclusive hunting, convenient accommodations, and other amenities, Rene’s facility is unmatched in the area. Loma Colorado Lodge features a large kennel of well-trained pointing dogs and custom-built quail hunting rigs, to will ensure comfort for both hunters and the dogs on the long days in pursuit of sporty bobwhite quail. Quail hunting season begins in late October each fall and lasts until the final week of February.
Duck hunting is available each winter from late October through February. A wide variety of ducks winter in the area near the famous Laguna Madre Bay, the final destination for many varieties of ducks from the Central and Mississippi flyways during their winter migration. Both inland freshwater ponds and the saltwater of the Laguna Madre host several species of duck, making it ideal to bag a wide variety on every excursion. Hunters often kill over 10 species of ducks in a single trip, including Redheads, Pintails, Greater & Lessor Scaup, Blue-Winged Teal, Green-Winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Model Duck, Canvasback, Widgeon, Fulvous Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks, Ruddy Duck, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler, Ring-Necked Duck, and Bufflehead Ducks, among others.
White-Wing Doves return to Northern Mexico in huge numbers each spring and begin their annual nesting throughout the entire length of the state of Tamaulipas. Skyrocketing numbers in the area offered an opportunity for aggressive shooters to dispense up to 40-60 boxes of shells per day during the 2020 season, and guides that have worked the area for decades reported that White-Wing Dove hunting had never been more successful since the 1970s.
Mourning Doves migrate in droves each winter into northern and eastern Mexico from November through February. Snow and Speckled Belly geese are also found throughout the area, during the fall harvest of corn and milo crops. These birds often provide even more variety to a winter-time wing-shooting adventure. These opportunities provide duck and quail hunters a unique chance to participate in a combination of great wing-shooting, unparalleled anywhere in North America.
