Wow, I can't believe no one has taken this binos...they are known to find big bucks you know...

Chris, I'm thinking to buy one, let me know how you like it and how far you can read constantly, thanks.

shoot!

I don't use one, but I think I read here before that it wont work with muzzle breaks ?

Merry Christmas to all here in Coueswhitetail.com

Cody, check the truck registration where it says GVW....make sure doesn't exceed 7716 lbs.

Yes, the GVW on their truck registration exceeded the allowed limit by the Mexican goverment.

Get a notarized letter confirming that your buddy is the owner of the truck and company. NOTE: Some "work trucks" are 3/4 ton trucks with tool box or tool boxes on the back; also, some work trucks are "dually" or flat beds, those trucks aren't allowed outside the Free Zone. If your buddy's truck is a 3/4 ton truck but is not a dually and it has no tool box or boxes on the back and is not a flat bed, you'll be ok. Thanks. Ernesto C.

Again, all these questions should be answered by your outfitter. I don't understand how come an outfitter is taking hunters and don't know nothing on the subject or take care of them? Then I hear people complaining about hunting in Mexico? bigsky2, before you get with the U. S. Customs, download CBP Form 4457 and fill it out. You must stop with U. S. Customs first and report your gun(s) They will ask you for that form, they'll veriry the information you wrote with the one on your gun(s). Make sure they sign that form and give it back to you. When you cross back to the U. S. from Mexico make sure you have that form with you if they ask you for it ok? The big cities, such as Nogales, Hermosillo, etc. they do accept credit cards (of course you previously called your credit card company and advised them you are planning to use your c.c. in Mexico) on most of the big shopping stores but my advice to you is get Mexican currency. I don't know how far your are traveling or how far is your ranch, gasoline is expensive in Mexico..I'll said exchange 250 to 300 dollars to be safe? Ernesto C.

Cody, one thing I forgot to mention is...that some people think that by ordering the permit online it will save time; not true. If you order the permit online you still have to stop there and they still have to go to all the process, verification etc. so in reality you aren't saving any time. My personal way of doing it or what I do, is I stop there and get the permit, it only takes 5 or 6 minutes. Ernesto C.

Yes either way...you can buy it online or you can buy it at the border.

They require the cape to be frozen for at least 24hrs before crossing the border. Every agent is different..but there have been cases where the hunter has to wait 2 or 3 hours for the cape to be unfrozen so it can be inspected. If the cape is frozen solid, sometimes they have a hard time trying to unfold the cape to be inspected and they are going to make you wait. You already have 6 hours on the road and want to get home and rest. So yes, freeze the cape..but make sure is not frozen solid when you cross the border. Make sure there are no ticks dead or alive on the cape. If they find one, they'll throw it away.

No You Do need your Only Sonora Permit. And when you show up back at the border DO NOT have the cape frozen solid.

Thanks Orling I appreciate it.

Are you looking for a Mule deer hunt or a Coues deer hunt? I ask because you mentioned "high rack". I can put you on both or one or the other, let me know.

Cody, all the do's and dont's , documents for your trophy, truck, yourself etc etc should have already been answered and/or taken care by your outfitter.

Let me know if still available, thanks.

Maybe you'll get a small buck or two a little horny but nothing serious. The best rut activity with big bucks chasing does will be late January to mid February.

Got to my hunting unit on Friday 21st at 6:00 pm. 24 hrs later, Saturday at 6:00 pm, put an arrow in this bull, ran about 100 yards and dropped. I'm very happy! Thanks for looking

I want to take my new rifle build to Mexico for a Coues deer hunt. I finally recieved my 6.5 WSM stamped brass. I ran the brass throug my press. I loaded my first round, tried on my rifle and encountered a problem.. the bolt did not close . I tried the empty brass on my rifle and it worked perfectly however, the loaded round did not work. I loaded another one...a empty one, (bullet only no primer, no powder) and did not work either. The brass neck was at .295 and empty they did work; but once I put or set the bullet in they were not working or feeding into my rifle. It looks like I have a tight rifle chamber?. I had to turn or trim the necks down to .292 and BINGO! they did work! my rifle was feeding / ejecting them no problem. Once I got that issue solved I headed to the shooting range to test my loads. I'm using Hornadys ELD Match 140 gr bullet with 64 1/2 grs of H1000 and I'm at 3093 fps. I really liked the results..see picture with 4 shots at 100 yards. There were no feeding/ejecting problems and fired brass looks good. On a side note... I also tried the Nosler Long Range Accubonds in 142 gr. I tried them with 66 1/2 grains of Retumbo Powder at 3095 fps but for some reason I couldn't get them to group; they were at .750 or 1 inch groups. My questions for you guys and/or Doug (Redrabbit) are: 1) Should I leave the Hornadys right there where they are or should I try to load hotter/faster? 2) What can I do to tight the groups on the accubonds or I should not botter and stick to the Hornadys? Thanks everyone. Ernesto C.

I have the CT 380 and love it! Good luck with the sale.

You all ROCK! Congrats!

No worries, the best thing to do is to check with your Outfitter, he should answer all your questions. Now, let me tell you something and again, don't take my word for it ok? About the 223...The way the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosive of The Republic of Mexico is writen..it talks about self loading or repeating firearms in 223 caliber....a bolt action rifle in 223 is not a semi auto or automatic rifle....but to avoid any discussion with them, I always tell my hunters do not bring any 223's ok? I have friends in Mexico that they own 5.56 rifles, but they can't own a 223

Hum, interesting... I have taken several hunters down there with 308's and no problems at all. But don't take my word for it

Which Chronograph do you guys use? I was going to order the Magneto Speed Chronograph but decided to ask you guys and see which one your recommend? This one looks cheap to me but is a good one? https://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-720001-Ballistic-Precision-Chronograph/dp/B00HTN5DTE/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1535999857&sr=8-7&keywords=magnetospeed+sporter+chronograph Any suggestions? Thanks guys. Ernesto C
