Exceptional Year Thanks to Monsoon Season

We’ve been incredibly fortunate this year with a bountiful monsoon season, turning the landscape into a lush, green paradise. This has set the stage for an exciting hunting season with prime conditions.

New Operating Permit for Duck Hunting

We are thrilled to announce our new operating permit on Elephant Butte and Caballo Lake State Parks in southern New Mexico, located on the Lower Rio Grande. These locations offer world-class duck hunting opportunities. Starting in late November and continuing through January, we will be hosting duck hunts, targeting puddle ducks in the coves and divers on the main bodies of water. Our new 20-foot boat, El Tavo, and our trusty Labrador, Stetson, will ensure an unforgettable hunting experience.
