The accommodations are
world-class, but it’s the hunting that brought me here; and I was seriously unprepared for how much
shooting action awaited me. The team at El Monte Lodge goes far beyond the norm to insure that hunters
are placed in the most productive hunting areas. The flyway patterns of doves and pigeons are
ever-changing, based on the various planting and harvest schedules in the valley; and guides and
bird-boys spend significant time and resources each day, driving and scouting across a vast range of
hunting areas to pinpoint the bird’s movements and patterns. Hunting is timed to match the exact
movements from roosting, feeding, and watering areas; and I was amazed at how precise the flyway
patterns can be. The guides may occasionally shift the blinds during the course of the hunt by as
little as twenty meters to align the hunters to optimal shooting positions. |
