    Going in to Mexico is never been a problem (at least in my experience) Coming back to the U.S. is where sometimes we have delays but not because of the hunters or because of their paper work; is because the guys from the USFWS and the Dept. of Agriculture dont know what to look for or what to do with the paper work.

    I think the USFWS and the USDA need to have more and better communication with the SEMARNAT and PROFEPA and get familiar with tags and documents hunters will bring across the border.

    I a couple of occasions I had to show them ( the USFWS and USDA) how to fill out the forms and told them which copies I need to keep and which ones they need to keep. For this reason and since that day, I always make sure I have (and the hunters that are with me) all the paperwork ready with extra copies for them; to make their job easier and the process faster.

     

    There are two ways to bring your cape back in to the U.S.: One is frozen (cape must be in a freezer for at least 24 hrs.) And the other is by a certified and approved VET. from SEMARNAT, this method is sometimes faster and easier specially if you kill your buck at the end of your hunt or if you cant wait 24 hrs to freeze the cape. Some outiftters include this service in the cost of the gun permit.

    Ernesto,

    even if the cape has been frozen for more than 24 hours. By the time you get to the border from down south in Sonora you have a thawed cape, which is a problem!! I've been running a generator in the back of my truck with a small freezer because of this. The PROFEPA inspection is always a good idea as well. I've also had problems with Nasser. That is why I do what I do!!!

    Good luck finding the owner of that picket fence Jim!

    We found a deer that I would love to shoot, but probably wont live that long. The main beams G-2 G-3's all crossed!! There are 3 groups of hunters going hunting on these ranches before I get to hunt myself. I'm going after that buck with the crossed antlers with the first hunter! I hope we get him.

    I wish i had taken a photo of the back of the truck ( it was impressive )

    These are some antlers I got from the cowboy. The one with the $5 bill has a 7 1/4" base!!! it's a shame the beam is busted off WOW!! The antlers in the other photo are all 120---135 class deer.

    Went south to scout last weekend. My hunting partner Jake Pike (SIDERACK) and a couple of guides went to figure out a couple of our new ranches! The first day we laid out the terain. The second day we glassed up several smaller bucks, and hiked looking for sign. Bye the end of the day we knew where we were going to hunt plus what we were looking for. The bed of the truck was loaded with shed antlers. The largest shed was over 60 inches!!! Can't wait to see what the smallest antler is going to turn in to! What do you think?

    AZantlerhead,

    We can shed hunt the entire year. Hunting is only a few days!

    So while your hunting, your shed hunting!!! It only makes sence.

     

    Open season on sheds!!!!!! YA

    I tend to come out of the mountains with a few antlers weather I'm hunting or not.
