Best of luck to you and your family up North Scottyboy. I'm looking forward to the hunt stories and pictures from up there.

It was nice meeting you too Kelley. Enjoy the trip!!!

My wife and I have a timeshare in San Carlos, Sonora Mexico at the Sea of Cortez Premier Vacation Club. We have it booked for Oct 14-21 and can't go . It's a 6-7 hr drive from the Phoenix area depending upon where you live. There's a ton of cool stuff to do down there and San Carlos is very family friendly. My sister and bro-in-law will be down there with their 4 kids that same week. Here's a link to the hotel web page. We have the silver suite which sleeps 4 adults. http://www.ilxresorts.com/resort/sea_of_cortez_pvc Here are a few pics from down there: Snorkeling The view from our hotel room I am asking $600 dollars for the 7 night stay. October is peak season and that's less than $100 a day, which you can't book it for that price any time of year. If interested or have questions call me or PM me. Daryl 520-723-0834 or 480-458-7263

Kelbro's got the trip, I hope he has an awesome time. As far as permits, visas, etc go to my understanding you currently need a visa even if you're only going to San Carlos even though it is part of the zona libre(free zone). The zona libre only goes to Empalme(Just past Guaymas and before Ciudad Obregon). If you go farther than Empalme you will have to get the car permit.....I believe it cost me $20 for the Sonora Only permit. Passports are not required to re-enter the US by car until 2008. They were required for air travel but I heard that since the passport agencies are so far backed up that now if you have the receipt for your passport that they will accept it. I went down to Ciudad Obregon back in February when my sister-in-law was having her baby and I did not know that I needed a visa. When I tried to register my car in Empalme they would not let me because I didn't have the visa. Luckily since my wife was with me(she was born in Mexico) they let us register it in her name verifying her connection to me through our son's birth certificate. They have made things easier but they are constantly changing so just make sure you check with reliable sources before heading down. More D hit it right on the head with the whole tourism deal......Eduardo Bours who is the governor of Sonora has a big investment in hotels in Sonora and they have invested a lot of money in tourism advertisements and road improvements. Overall my experiences traveling to Mexico have been worry and trouble free. Stay on the toll roads, going through Hermosillo just pay close attention to the signs for Guaymas and it's a really easy drive. It's 250 miles from Nogales to San Carlos. I love going to Mexico and it kills me that I can't go but I'm glad that Kelbro's going to get to enjoy it. Someday I am going to have my own place down there.

Average high is 88 and average water temp is 84 at the surface in October in San Carlos, hard to beat. That's why early in the year we booked it for that time. Plus, as far as I know and from our experiences the jellyfish are gone by that time. $500 doesn't even cover my maintenance fees for the timeshare, this is a smokin deal. Tell your friends.

Bump........will give up for $500........this is a sweet deal, I really wish I could go but we just bought a house and can't take off work.

oops

congrats dude, that's a way cool buck. Character bucks are the best in my opinion. not only does he have a ton of character he's huge too, best of both worlds.

that is seriously amazing. absolutely incredible.....what more can be said?????

that should win "post of the year" awards . 2 straight QB's out of good ole mesa, az for BYU.

Cool man!!! Glad to see everything working out for you. Enjoy it and good luck.

Here are some of the pictures we took while down there in April of this year. There's some great snorkeling down there. Scuba too, but I'm not certified yet. San Carlos "Where the desert meets the sea!" Here is another view of Tetakawi peak from up the coast well past the fishing village Here is a nice shot looking up the coast from the balcony. The balconies face west so you get to soak in the nice sunsets every evening. Can't wait to go back.

A brand new Leupold VXI 4-14x40 is under $300. That's what I bought last summer and it's a great scope.

Scottyboy, a huge congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby girl. My little baby girl is almost 3 yrs old now. Time flies by so fast. You're gonna have a blast, enjoy every minute of it.

Does anyone else think it's funny that esposas also means handcuffs????? .

That is awesome. Non-typicals are my favorites. I have never seen one out in the field. Good luck baggin that one.

Awesome pictures. I love the San Carlso/Guaymas area. My wife and I have a timeshare down there and love it. Right now I'm working on my open water scuba certification. I think it's so cool how the desert goes all the way up to the ocean water. My wife and I drove back past the fishing village up the coast and did some exploring last time we were down there. A few coves back in there is a small island with cactus on it, it looks really neat. I'll post the pictures when I find them. Also, I believe the "chichis" mountain is more commonly known as "Tetakawi Peak" which means the same thing in I don't know which Indian dialect. I haven't been up there but I have heard that there are tons of rattlers in that area.

good thing i have a late tag this year! I envy you Casey, I have put 36B Dec first choice every year for more than 10 years now and havent gotten it yet. That's cool for you though, I hope you bag a big one.

4TH choice 36A November. I'm looking forward to scouting a unit I've never hunted in before. Good luck to everyone.

Yeah, but it would be funny

Happy birthday man, may you get your first choice tag.

Looks like a nice buck..........and La Virgen de Guadalupe in the second one.
