Gilberto Salomon-Sainz, A Premier Duck
Outfitter and Owner of Patolandia Hunting Club
Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico
Located in the Great Sinaloa Marsh with one of the largest concentrations of waterfowl game species, "PATOLANDIA" has been proclaimed by many hunters as being the most exciting and productive duck/goose lodge in Mexico. Nestled in a rustic environment, "PATOLANDIA" is easy to reach yet impossible to beat when it comes to hospitality and exciting hunts. Only 35 miles north of Culiacan, "PATOLANDIA" has some of the best wing shooting in the world. Estimated at four million, the annual population of ducks includes pintails, cinnamon teals, blue and green-winged teals, "pichiguilas," canvasbacks, gadwall and widgeons. Although individuals are certainly welcome, corporate groups have evolved into a large part of its business and references are available upon request. The hunts are very easy and anyone can easily access well-built blinds from the airboats, and radio communication ensures a problem-free hunt. Hunters will be pleased to experience the same excellent duck hunting that clients have come to expect from Gilberto with a life-long experience in hunting waterfowl. He is simply the best duck outfitter in Sinaloa and he knows all there is to learn about taking care of his customers which is probably the reason why some of his best friends are hunters from the U.S.
