A friend of mine did some duck hunting in Mexico and he really liked it. He said that everything that is illegal here is legal in Mexico. He was shooting a Benelli SBE with a magazine extender on it so that he could shoot 9 shells. How anybody would need 9 shells on ducks, I have no idea. If I had to pick a place, I would probably pick Argentina over Mexico. I have had a couple of other friends go to Argentina and they really loved the dove and duck hunting down there. I would probably pick Argentina because there is less of a chance that you will be robbed or kidnapped.

Of course, if you are going to do dove hunting down there you had better practice shooting tons and tons of ammo out of your gun to get used to lifting the gun 500 times in a day and receiving the recoil from 1,000 shells.

I never knew there was a limit on doves down there. If you can get 12 here within 2 boxes of shells, than 60 should only take 10 boxes (e.g., 250 rounds). That isn't too bad. If you don't mind, could you PM the name of the outfitter to me so that I can look at it too.
