Read the article below and look at the highlighted portion in red... Come on guys pull your head out of the sand! The Mexican Government and Police are responsible for a good portion of the crime that goes on down there!!! I go down to Mexico at least 6 times a year, but I always keep one eye open! State Department warns of travel to Mexico border At least 27 Americans have been kidnapped in past 6 months Posted: 2:06 AM EST (0706 GMT) People cross from the U.S. into Mexico at the Paso del Norte border crossing in Juarez, Mexico. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- At least 27 Americans have been abducted along the border with Mexico in the past six months because of increased violence among drug traffickers, prompting the U.S. State Department to issue a warning to travelers. Of the 27, two were killed, 14 were released and 11 remain missing, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Thursday. The abductions do not include "express" kidnappings in which Americans are forced to withdraw large sums of money from ATMs before they are released, Boucher said. Boucher said he understood the Mexican government may not be happy with the travel warning, but "we do feel that it's important to tell Americans about the security situation near the border." "We have worked closely with Mexican authorities to take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety and the security of U.S. citizens in Mexico," Boucher said. "And in situations where Americans are victims of crime, we do follow those cases very closely as the Mexican authorities try to arrest and prosecute those who are responsible." Boucher emphasized that "a vast majority" of Mexicans and Americans crossing the border do so "without any mishaps or difficulties." In its public announcement released Wednesday, the State Department said "violent criminal activity along the U.S.-Mexico border has increased as a product of a war between criminal organizations struggling for control of the lucrative narcotics trade along the border." An underpaid and under-trained police force in Mexico and a weak judicial system add to the problems, according to the warning. "Criminals, armed with an impressive array of weapons, know there is little chance they will be caught and punished," according to the statement. "In some cases, assailants have been wearing full or partial police uniforms and have used vehicles that resemble police vehicles, indicating some elements of the police might be involved." The travel warning, which expires April 25, calls on Americans to avoid areas where illicit activity occurs, "visiting only legitimate business and tourism areas of border towns during daylight hours."

Yes, but in WI, the culprits were arrested! In Mexico the Government and Police are in on the kidnapping!

Dave, I have plenty of Americans that can landscape your yard. I refuse to hire anyone who is illegal. Sure sometimes it is tough to find good workers, by I follow the law, and soooner or later a American citizen fills the job.

Dave, I threw that F*@#ing thing in the trash! They called me about a few months later asking why I din't send it in. I told them to go to heck and hung up! That was almost a year ago. They haven't arrested me yet!

I have AZG&F stickers on all my trail cams! No one has stolen one since I put the stickers on...

I'm reading the book as I type. Excellent so far!

You think the picture above is bad? Look at the one below? Both of these spots are in unit 36A, 30+ miles from the border and 1/2 mile from the nearest road. This is MY PUBILC LAND that my tax dollars pay for. They are destroying it! My kids may never know what a wash without water jugs in it looks like! The illegals are destroying our hunting habitat! What will you tell your kids? "Sorry son, we cant go hunting anymore because it is too dangerous to hunt in our own country". I dont want to tell my kids that!

You are correct! Illegal alliens in America wire transfer over 10 BILLION dollars a year back to mexico. Banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America are the biggest culprets, aiding and abedding these illegals. This accounts for Mexicos second largest source of money behind oil exports. And so much for the argument that these illegals are working here and spending money here helping our economy! How can they be helping our economy by sending 10 BILLION dollars back to mexico? And the biggest thing to think about here on a hunting forum, is what are the illegal aliens doing to our hunting habitat? Anyone seen the trash in the southern units latley? They are destroying our public land before our eyes!!!

Unfortunatley, the bags of money found in the plane in the Rincons was rotted and no good. The guy who found it was pissed, because he had seen the glare up there on the mountain for a couple of years before he decided to hike to it. If I remember it was like $80,000 worth of rotted bills..... Lance

30 carbine.........

I changed a picture to exclude the license plate to protect the undercover customs agents...

Not my truck guys!!! Agents from customs and BP came in and loaded up the dope... I wasn't born in the dark...

Here is what I found in 36A last time I was down there. 5 guys came walking up to where we were parked just after dark, carrying 5 large bundles on their backs. We shone our flashlight on them and they dropped the bundles and ran. Border Patrol came in and picked up the 300+ pounds of pot and thanked us! So when President Bush says. "these are just good people who want to come here and work", Dont believe it!!!

I have had lions as close as 6 feet when calling, but these lions never chased me or shot at me, like the illegals. I have been chased by drug runners and shot at by drug runners while hunting down south. My brother also had all of his food stolen in his camp. What has this country come to when you have to be scared to hunt in your own country??? We can thank "El Presidente Bush" for this!!!!!!!!!

classic "Columbian Neck Tie" shot. Kills them every time!

Guys, this is not good! Hunting season right around the corner, and half of 36 a,b,&c is closed. I was down there yesterday and it looked like a war zone. The national gaurd is everywhere, BP helicopters buzing everywhere, BP agents everywhere, and big charter buses full of illegals heading north to the detention center all day long. I talked to an agent, who said the "flood gates have opened, like they have never seen before". Read the press release below.... Bird Watchers Will Have To Find Another Refuge 10-13-2006 1:25 AM (Tucson, AZ) -- A large portion of a popular bird watching area is off limits today. Part of the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge south of Tucson is closed due to security concerns surrounding illegal immigration. Officials say that over the past two years, over 250-thousand illegal immigrants have entered the refuge. Officials add that immigrants and officers alike have experienced increased levels of violence. The popular area shares a five-mile section of border with Mexico.

Watch where you point that gun in the first photo....

On the Kings Anvil ranch which is 38 miles from the border, the Minutemen have had over 300 illegals come into sight in just over a week. BP has only apprehended about 1/3 of them. All of these illegals came thru the refuge to get there.
