Having worked as an outfitter his entire life in the United States, and with 20+ years of hunting in Old Mexico, this outfitter knows what it takes to coordinate, manage, and operate a successful hunting operation down South.
Most hunters head to Mexico with the hopes of running into that buck of ten lifetimes. While Mexico is a place where this happens every year for multiple hunters, and being a place that can definitely put those odds in your favor, by no means is it a guarantee, and it’s important to go into this hunt with realistic expectations. It’s hunting, you still need your fair share of luck, and you most definitely need to select the right outfitter and/or location. This outfitter is a great option for multiple reasons and here's why.
This outfitter spends 5 to 6 months every year on their private ranches to improve the quality and level of expectations to be the best they can be. Many of the private ranches have been under their own management and feeding programs for years and you will NOT be hunting high-fenced deer. The outfitter has spent a lot of time finding the right ranches specifically for Mule Deer, and they are gaining more and more each year that goes by. With exclusive access to over 400,000 collective acres, hunters will have more country to hunt that time will allow.
All hunts are conducted on private ranches, legally registered with the state of Sonora for hunting, and tags are controlled. Ranch locations vary, and typically the travel-time from the US border is anywhere from 30 minutes to 5 hours. Lodging consists of comfortable ranch houses with running water, hot showers, bedrooms equipped with beds, dinning areas, and usually a common area surrounded by a fireplace to meet up after the days hunt and share stories.
The management programs focus on trophy-class/older age-class bucks only. In the past, many of the native species of Mexico were over-hunted, but thankfully, due to game management by all involved, most all species in Mexico are thriving like never before. The deer densities on the ranches you will be hunting can vary depending on the location, and on some ranches the numbers will not be as high as others. These types of opportunities are what keeps hunters going back year after year, including our team and multiple staff-members of the Huntin’ Fool team.
The season begins in the latter part of November and is open until the first part of February. This offers an opportunity to pursue bucks on the move looking for does in estrus, which increases deer activity, and bucks become more visible. They take advantage of the rut, however, they have been very successful taking high-scoring bucks during the pre-rut hunts in late November and December. So don't be afraid of hunting/booking early.
Hunts are conducted via spot and stalk, high-rack vehicles, ground blinds and/or tree-stands, and it completely depends on the ranch and the clients preferences, weapon of selection, and physical capabilities.
