Duck Hunting
This is classic decoy duck hunting equaled only by the old “glory days” in the United States.

The coastal region in the state of Sonora is the optimum staging and feeding ground for wintering Pacific flyway ducks, and from early November through early March, it’s home to an estimated population of two million pintail, gadwall, green, blue and cinnamon teal, black duck, canvasback, Pacific black brant, widgeon, redhead and many others—16 species in all.

Ruiz has an extensive network of comfortable man-made and natural blinds to which pairs of hunters are delivered via a custom-made airboat each morning. The combination of liberal limits and the great diversity of species add up to the duck hunting experience of a lifetime!

Dove Hunting
As the premier outfitter in the region, Gabino’s Outdoor Adventures has sole access to hundreds of thousands of acres of prime shooting habitat. Each shooter is provided with a pick-up boy, a comfortable swivel seat with back rest, lots of 28, 20 or 12 gauge shells, and a cooler of soft drinks, water and beer.

Quail Hunting
At Gabino’s Outdoor Adventures, we offer exciting walk-up quail hunting for two unique species: Gambel’s quail and Elegant quail. Found mainly in the highest desert elevations, they are challenging and exciting to hunt. Hunting for either or both types of quail is a fun option on a trip to the Yaqui Valley.
Location
In Mexico’s coastal agricultural region of the state of Sonora, lies the Yaqui and Mayo Valley – home to the finest game/bird hunting in all of North America. Both white wing and mourning doves live here year round in abundance (not migrating) along with Gambel’s and Elegant Quail, and enjoy endless fields of sorghum, sesame, corn, and other food grains, bordered by thick fencerows and brush of mesquite and chaparral. The duck habitat is endless miles of shallow-water estuaries, mangrove swamp, and freshwater ponds located adjacent to grain and vegetable production.

Gabino’s Yaqui Valley Hunting is the place for the best of the best – an amazing mix of the best wild game birds and first-rate outfitting by the best in the business, Frank Ruiz.
