The Trip:  Our package begins in Miami where you board a two hour non-stop flight on American Airlines to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Upon arrival in Tegucigalpa, our guides and agents will be waiting for the group as they depart immigrations and assist the groups through customs. Then we board our bus for a scenic two hour drive south down Mt. Piacho towards our headquarters in the city of Choluteca. After renewed introductions we’ll have dinner and a nights rest. The following three days are two-a day hunting sessions and on the fifth ad final day we’ll pack up and head back to Teguc for our non-stop flight back to the U.S.

The Accommodations:  The Hotel Gualiqueme is a perfect hunt headquarters with lush tropical surroundings and considered the best hotel in town.  We will have all single rooms, each with air-conditioning and private bath with hot water. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool, full bar, and a private dining room for the groups.  The last evening you will enjoy a big barbecue by the swimming pool with dove, chicken, steaks and local Honduran music.

The Hunting:  The Mourning Doves were excellent this year and the White Wings showed up in good numbers as well. Now please note, Honduras has some the sportiest and challenging shooting available, but it is not to be compard to our South American shoots. You should average about 5-10 boxes per half day of shooting. The birds are extremely fast and when they dart through the trees, they will humble even the most experienced shooter. The morning hunts are mostly done in sorghum, corn or rice fields and afternoon hunts are mainly water holes and roosts depending on the current situation. These are migratory birds so the shooting is usually fast, furious and always extremely sporty. The shoots can last from one to two hours depending on the weather and situation of the shoot. You will be at the fields at first light and in the afternoons you will stay until the birds stop flying so we always maximize the amount of shooting during the peak times. After the morning shoot we will return to the hotel for lunch, have a swim, and take a siesta before heading back out for the afternoon shoot. Each hunter will have two pickup boys that pick up every bird as you shoot them. Some of the Honduran pickup boys have been guiding Trek hunters for over 35 years and are without a doubt some of the best in the world in finding the downed birds. The pickup boys will knock on your doors before each shoot and grab your guns and shells so when you reach the field you will be all set including a swivel stool with drinks waiting for you.
