Hunting
"One of the greatest Turkey Hunts we have had.  Some of us have been on many adventures and yours was as good as it gets, or even better.  This includes the food, accommodations, service, transportation, (including the airplane), and of course the amount of turkeys... Your ranch is truly one of the best kept secrets."

Thanks for your gracious hospitality at El Durangueño. Our trip was fabulous and far exceeded our expectations; just when we thought it couldn't get any better, it would. The accommodations were truly topnotch in every respect and we were particularly impressed with the staff's desire to make sure that we were pleased. In the survey we filled out, you score all 5's (the highest).

"After thirty years of hunting throughout Canada, Mexico, South America and twenty states, I feel well qualified to say that Rancho EL Durangueño is definitely a top tier establishment. From the personal attention of the owner, Alonso Ayala, to the attention to detail from the entire ranch staff, there is nothing left to chance. Both the quantity and quality of the Gould's turkey hunting are phenomenal. It will definitely be an annual trek for me."
- Clyde F. Neely. Kingwood, Texas

“Our party of six veteran turkey hunters visited El Durangueño ranch in April 2004. After our hunt, we all agreed that was by far the most enjoyable hunting experience we have ever had. The accommodations were five star, the food and service were superior, and the hunting was outstanding. I have never hunted an area with such a large population of turkeys (we all harvested a fine gobbler). I would highly recommend El Durangueño if you are planning a Gould's turkey hunt. I am confident that El Durangueño offers the very best Gould's hunting experience in Mexico."

From the owner, down tru the entire staff, everyone is thru the entire staff, everyone is on my top ten list. Rancho El Durangueño is truly the hunt of a lifetime for a big Gould's".

“I, my son Keenan and my brother, Z A Adams were at El Durangueño in April 2004. It was a totally enjoyable experience.
The accommodations were “5-Star”. The ranch provides you with excellent food, service, hunting equipment, transportation to hunting areas, guide service and refreshments on the actual hunts.
The hunting was the best that we have ever experienced in our travels. The land is beautiful and bountiful. There is a large population of wild turkeys. It was amazing!
We all plan to go again next year. We would highly recommend El Durangueño for the hunting experience of a lifetime!”.
