Each day after an early, hearty breakfast, you'll hit the highway to areas mainly in the Masay-Tipitapa-Lake Nicaragua region for a morning White-wing hunt of 6-8 boxes of shells or possibly more. Each hunter will be assigned a bird boy who will quickly get you settled in your stand usually near corn, sorghum and sesame fields as well as flyways to roosts and watering basins.
After a few hours of shooting in the morning, it's back to the lodge for lunch, a quick nap and then another 6-8 box hunt in the afternoon. You should be back to the lodge around 5:00pm.
Excellent hors-d'oeuvres and Rum-rita's greet the hunters after every hunt and evening meals are excellent with many a Nicaragua cigar handy nearby.
After breakfast today, you will be transferred to Managua and Augusto C. Sandino International Airport for your departure flight to the USA.
