    yesterday our group lost one hide- 

    the tick was alive-such a bummer - this hide was frozen the longest (3 days) - 3 people searched the hide- once the agent pulled out a flashlight and began looking through it, I knew we were screwed - it was very small - not sure if it happened to get on the hide when we laid out the hide to check it? 

    the agent that checked my hide found one dead tick - two agents spent about a few minutes searching, luckily and all was good. 

    If ticks can survive a North Dakota winter they can survive three days in the freezer. And I seen folks lose their hides for a dead tick. Seems paying Juan to cross the hides is easier.

  2. This seems pretty stupid thing to do. I think the hunters where lucky to get just a 300 slap on the wrist. Pretty sure they could of been charged with smuggling goods which is 5 years and 10 grand. Also guess cbp could seize their trucks. Reading the links show they tried hiding the hides in their truck.

     

     


  3. How are folks planning on traveling to Sonora for this year hunt? I was looking at driving but been told while nothing is stopping us from travel into Mexico that the wait time are expected to be longer this year when coming back.  Or should I look at flying?

    Also is it better to bring my stuff back and risk loosing it cause of a tick, or I heard I can pay extra to have someone else ship my trophy across the border for me.


  4. My advise is call the customs guys that check the deer for ticks and ask them. then call fish and wildlife and ask them what they want to see.

     

    I believe the State of arizona wants the skulls clean do to CWD and that mexico imports deer from CWD areas in the U.S.

     

    The one Thing I learned is to speak with FWS directly on what they require.
