Sky Island junkie Report post Posted October 17, 2021 You will enjoy the solitude of Mexico. Don’t expect a hundred inch buck around every corner. When you get off the beaten path, its another world compared to Az in many ways including the salt of the earth people! Like trophy said $50 here! I spend my $ on Mexico bass! But that’s just me!

SunDevil Report post Posted October 18, 2021 unless you KNOW there are bigger bucks on the ranch, if you seem something over 100" you should throw some lead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted October 20, 2021 again if you want to save yourself $2-3k to get out of cell service, simply leave your phone in the truck or at home. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My focus is on killing a big deer. Whether that be on a remote ranch in Sonora, or in a back alley in Nogales with full bars, I don't care.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the ranch you are hunting has a long proven track record, anything over 105" should be seriously considered. Most want to kill 110+ and in the end shoot something under 100". The benefits of Mexico include 1. Limited to no hunting pressure 2. Food 3. Most of the time limited cell service 4. Good friends 100% correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted October 21, 2021 Hunting in Mex, you’ll see way more deer and more buck to doe than AZ. A hang up on size may lead to disappointment on an otherwise great trip. Based upon my two hunts down there, 100” bucks are there, may be busted up late in season and not the average. I shot an upper 90’s buck that was a good looking 4x3with a split eye guard. I hunted with guys who had their taxi add 10+” of fake antler to their busted bucks to claim over 100”. Trophy’s in the eye of the hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
