Each Hunter will have his own assistant who will provide him with shells and cold beverages.  There is no limit on doves due to the fact that they are considered a plague.  It is possible to shoot more than 1000 rounds in one day.  THE HUNTERS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED AT ALL TIMES WITH ENGLISH SPEAKING PROFESSIONAL GUIDES.
