WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted January 2 Ive been going down through Douglas for 16 or 17 years to hunt deer and occasionally some Goulds. The ONLY problem we have ever had is being extorted for $40 or $50 bucks occasionally, and the dang knuckleheads on the US side coming back in. Sure is funny how much grief they give hunters over some ticks that can't get over the border any other way than on a dead deer cape. Sure wish they had something else to worry about, oh wait....... To be fair, we travel in the daylight and we don't hang out in the towns or cities. Once we cross we head straight to the ranch. I know its different than Rocky Point, but it sure isn't much of a risk if you ask me. A lot more dangerous in parts of the US. JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'm not knocking our border patrol, I know they have a thankless job and their hands are tied sometimes. My beef is with the Fish and Wildlife 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you’re not having to run for your life daily in rocky point FYI, I have been to Mexico, deep in Sonora, Ciudad Obregon in 2008. 16,17 how ever many years old kids manning 50 caliber machine guns pointed at us at basic checkpoints is enough to give me the creeps. Let alone all the schit that one can get caught up in, accidentally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re in that rare group that’s been, probably had a great time every time, wasn’t robbed, and then tells people they’re crazy for going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have never had a problem though hence the reason I made sure to clarify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
