First timer hunting mexico

[First timer hunting mexico]

I'm heading down to Mexico next monday(the 21st). In regards to bringing the antlers and cape back into the US: I've been reading that the skull has to be boiled out and the cape has to be completely frozen...However, a friend who went down last year, said that he simply boiled and dried the skull, then scraped and used salt to dry the inner side of the cape, but that it was not frozen and he got over with no problems. Has anyone else done this? did he just get lucky? would it be safer to freeze the cape?

great buck! Hey, where did you cross the border? What do you do if you're trying to come out on a saturday and the mexico game and fish is closed on weekends?

WOW! what a great buck, and an awesome shot. I have to back up the endorsement for the scopes with the target turrets, no more "hold over" or guessing, it makes for a lot better shooting and increases (with lots of practice) your long range abilities.
