Snook Inn Hunting Ocellated Turkey Hunts

World Slam Ocellated Hunting Adventures

Are you looking for a place to complete your World Slam?  Snook Inn is the ultimate destination to ensure your success and satisfaction with an Ocellated Turkey Hunt!

The Sansores family of Snook Inn Hunting have been guiding sportsmen and women in Old Mexico for 74 years.  Imagine how good you would be at something, or how well your craft would be perfected if you had done the same thing over and over for 74 years, longer than most of us have been alive!

Jose Sansores, started his outfitting business in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula in 1944 and was soon joined by his son Jorge.  While working for his father, Jorge guided clients from all over the world to hunt Jaguar, Collared Peccary, Brocket deer, Ocelot and many types of jungle fowl.

It wasn’t until 1978 that Jorge hosted the first ever group of clients that came specifically to hunt what the Mayans called “Ucutz il Chican”, the Ocellated turkey.   Jim Davis, a biologist and Colonel Dave Harbour, an outdoor writer, were both successful on their hunts, and the news soon spread to the outside world about this magnificently colored jungle bird.

Fast forward 40 years to the present and Jorge, was joined by his son Roberto, who is now creating memories for those individuals seeking adventure chasing the Ocellated turkey with Snook Inn Hunting. In fact, no one has been hunting Ocellated turkeys in the Yucatan Peninsula longer than the Sansores family. All of the guides at Snook Inn have been with Jorge for at least 25, and some for as long as 40 years.

The accumulated knowledge of Jorge , Roberto and their guides “will” make the difference in your hunt. So look no further if you want to complete your World Slam, as you will not find another outfitter anywhere with more experience in hunting the elusive Ocellated turkey.

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!
