Full description and what we offer
El Halcon Lodge & Outfitters operates two dedicated hunting camps focused on what they do best: putting hunters on trophy turkeys in Mexico's wilderness. Founded and run by Manuel Enriquez with his son Manuel Jr. and guide Carlos, the operation has built a reputation among serious turkey hunters pursuing Royal and World Slam credentials.
El Halcon handles the entire experience, not just the hunt:
- •Airport-to-lodge transportation with English-speaking guides
- •Premium lodging and meals at both camp locations
- •Professional field dressing and documentation of harvested game
- •Expert guides who know where the birds are and how to get you in position
You arrive, hunt, eat well, sleep well, and fly home with your trophy.
| Species | Season |
|---|---|
| Ocellated Turkey | March–April |
| Gould's Turkey | Mid-April–Mid-June |
| Red Brocket Deer | March–April |
| Coues Whitetail | December–January |
| Waterfowl | Mid-November–February |
"I have been to both camps that El Halcon has for both the Ocellated and the Gould's Wild Turkey! Manuel and his guides know where the turkeys are and assist hunters in every way possible to take home their trophies. This is one of the best operations to complete your Royal and World Slams!" — Tom Glines, Director of Development, NWTF
Hunters consistently report 3-for-3 opening mornings, abundant birds, and accommodations that exceed expectations. Multiple clients mention returning year after year and recommending El Halcon without hesitation.
30+ years in business – Rob Keck (a repeat client) notes he's hunted Gould's and Ocellated turkeys with Manuel for over three decades with no better option available.
El Halcon's strength lies in knowing their properties. They manage expansive game-filled land in both Chihuahua and Campeche, understand turkey behavior and movement patterns, and staff guides who can locate birds consistently. Safety is built into operations, with clients noting they never felt unsafe or uneasy throughout their stay.
Food, lodging, and hospitality aren't afterthoughts—multiple reviews specifically highlight the quality of meals (including the margaritas) and the professionalism of staff handling logistics before, during, and after hunts.
