Ocellated Turkey Hunts

About Our Ocellated Turkey Hunts

Ocellated turkey hunts are some of the most amazing hunts that Mexico has to offer. Jorge Luis Sansores Baranda and his son Roberto of Snook Inn Hunting, have been outfitting Ocellated hunts in the state of Campeche, Mexico area for over 40 years. The hunting area covers 38,000 acres, with the camp located in a nearby small town.  Modern accommodations are clean and comfortable with electricity, private baths, air conditioning, beds, cooks, & waiters.

The hunt takes place in a farming area where soybeans, corn and grain sorghum are grown. This area has a very high turkey density and it is not uncommon for hunters to see flocks of 50-100 birds in the early season. Once the breeding season begins, smaller groups of 12-15 birds are more common with a couple of Toms in each group. Ground blinds are used almost exclusively for hunting these beautiful birds.

In order to facilitate communication and hunt information for U.S.A. clients, Ted Jaycox of Tall Tine Outfitters has partnered with Jorge and Roberto in arranging Ocellated turkey hunts with this experienced, well organized outfitter.  Over the last 40 years they have a near a 99% success rate on their Ocellated Turkey hunts!
