Hello what hunting opportunities are you aware of in the Caribbean of any bird species or small game? From my research I've found:
- Iguana on various islands.
- Possum in Saint Vincent.
I spent 2018 and 2019 Christmas in Puerto Rico and a smaller island Culebra. I tried to book an iguana hunt but called too late. It looks like an interesting experience while in the islands! There are a couple iguana hunting groups. If you check on line and call them, I bet they will know of other options.
There are whitetail deer on Culebra, but I don’t know if they are huntable.
We’ve considered a combo iguana and fishing package in Puerto Rico... very affordable.. and a few days on the island in late winter would be a nice break from the cold...
I took pictures of red billed pintails on the beach on on St Thomas. Don’t know about hunting tho. Check with getducks.com maybe they have some information that you can use
I lived in Jamaica for a couple of years, They have some great wingshooting and many Jamaicans are bird shooters. There are 5 or 6 species of doves/pigeons. BUT, there are no outfitting operations - you have to know someone who is a member of a 'shoot' (club) that has rights to shoot on private ground. Firearms restrictions are typical of a former British colony - very tight.
Cuba has some very good dove/pigeon shooting and bobwhite quail. There are outfitters who can get you into birds. I cannot recommend anyone in particular since it has been a number of years since I was involved with the sporting scene in the Caribbean.
It is the other, other, other white meat. I was born in Nicaragua, and we hunted them when I was a kid. You'll never know you are eating iguana, it is very mild in flavor and does look like shredded chicken breast. Iguana soup is very good also to get your energy back and to help you get rid of a bad cold/hang over.
Too bad you didn't get any of the meat. I wonder if there would be issues importing it into the US?
