    I first hunted Mexico in 1982 best I remember. Huge ranch. Outfitter didn't know anything about hunting. Didn't see a deer...not one...all week. The following year I hunted a different ranch. The outdoor writer John Wooters was in camp and I thought I had won the lottery. Got so cold my water bottle froze inside my pack by my bed. Didn't see a buck to shoot. The following year I started hunting a 250,000 acre ranch. Wonderful accommodations but once again the outfitter was clueless as to how to hunt the ranch. Was several years hunting this ranch and learning to self guide before I got my first Mexican buck...a 150" 8 pt.

    All that nostalgia is fine and well. I now feed protein year round and the hunting is simply phenomenal. I do not long for the 'old days'. I also scarcely run any cameras at all so when we show up for the season its bone chilling excitement to see what will pop out of the brush.And all the elements that make hunting Mexico such a joy are still present...the culture and people, the vastness, the the incredible wildlife, the remoteness and on and on. Just a bit more comfortable now. I'm ok with that.

We have not killed any giants, 160 to 170 is tops for us, usually get one or two of those a year. Our landowner is awesome, he stays with us, cooks, cleans deer, and can fix anything, we have become good friends with him and his family.
      Ive tried to explain to a few hunting friends about how many arrow heads there are over there and by their looks on their faces I can't tell they think I'm BS'ing them.. I filled a BIG coffee can completely full in 2.5-3 hours one day while on a big flat on high bluff overlooking the river.. Most where busted. It must have been a foundry.. You couldn't hardly step without stepping on a busted piece of flint..
      It gave me goose bumps walking around up there just trying to imagine what Indians, how many and how long they had used that bluff... It was wild.

          Diesel trucks are now allowed to get permits as long as they are not modified. No flatbeds only 3/4 and 1 ton trucks either duallies or single tire as long as they have regular beds and interiors.

                  We are bringing our east Texas crew to old Mexico, but it’s not with the expectation to kill a monster, but the comradery and wide open country to enjoy the remote thrill of the hunt. If we kill a 145”+ that’s just a bonus. Sometimes people get too wrapped up in the inches and forget about the journey.
