Travel Information
Your dove hunting trip begins and ends in Harlingen, Texas. Air service from all major
U.S. cities to Harlingen is available on Continental, Delta and Northwest airlines.
Guests are then provided transportation into Mexico by Pintail Lodge staff members
who are experienced in quick, effortless border crossing. Private charters
can fly into Harlingen or into Mexico, minutes from the lodge.
Food
A key to our success is the excellent gourmet food that we are able to provide.
All pastries and pies are made on-site. Fresh produce is brought over from the
states. Perennial favorites include our outstanding Bacon
Wrapped Dove Breasts (click for recipe). No one ever walks away from the
Pintail table hungry!
Weather
Late summer temps in Mexico average 90 degrees or higher, so don't forget the
sun block and sunglasses! Chances of rainfall increase in the later part of the
hunting season. We encourage guests to come prepared for any type of weather
and to check the local weather prior to their departure.
