I too am heading to Mexico day after Xmas. My cousin is driving there right now for a quick scouting trip near Hermosillo. This will be my first hunting trip but I have been all over Mexico many times and there is nothing to worry about, anymore than what we worry about here. Feeling uncomfortable in Mexico as Josh stated is unfortunate. The majority of the Mexican people are absolutely wonderful and very very hospitable. I happen to speak a fair amount of Spanish, which doesnt' hurt. Don't let these few isolated incidents prevent you from enjoying it down there. I know I will!!
