In the 1990´s, Gerry discovered an area in Southern Mexico that had never been hunted, despite an unbelievable concentration of waterfowl in the rice field’s and swamps native to that area. Crazy Feather obtained its first videos of the waterfowl concentrations in 1994.

Gerry and CFO quietly and discretely, scouted the area for many winters before starting to take hunters into the area in 2005.  The huge concentrations of Blue Wing Teal, Fulvous Whistling Duck, and Black Belly Whistling Duck, and the wet terrain in the area where they are located provided a great challenge to CFO as they developed the hunting strategy that would allow their hunters to successfully hunt the areas throughout the Yucatan Peninsula.

Limits are very liberal in the area due to the area providing a great population of duck and only a few hunters each winter. Drives to and from blinds will normally be around 45 minutes, although CFO is willing to go to greater distances for those hunters in pursuit of the highest volume shoots.

Hunters will hunt from dry blinds, wet blinds, and even layout blinds as they hunt the area with CFO. Ducks are hunted both in the morning and in the afternoon from this location. An occasional afternoon dove shoot can be found for whitewing and mourning dove.

Also, very close to the shooting areas are the famous Mayan ruins and they provide a tremendous tourist opportunity to the hunters during their stay at the CFO Camp.

Benelli automatic shotguns are provided at the lodge for those not wanting to transport guns. Also, it is suggested that hunters bring both hip boots and waders as the water levels vary greatly from blind to blind.
