Zeke-BE Report post Posted January 23, 2019 A friend of mine told me one day he bought a spot on a ranch in mexico and asked me if I wanted to go last year. Heck yeah I will!!! The day came, and crossing the border sucks with trucks, trailers, side by sides getting all the paper work done, visas, customs checking our guns, the mexican border checking our guns, the mexican military checking our guns and 5 hours later from leaving AZ we are finally on our way to the ranch!!! Sadly nothing was rutting when we got there. Veterans hunters who hunted this ranch before said its always crazy rutting at this time. Just so pre rutting and a full moon! But if this was a hunting unit in AZ this would of been the best unit I have ever hunted!! Needless to say I had a great time and all the other hunters there were way awesome. We all helped each other out. One guy spotted a double drop tine buck and the next day we hunted close to them or the other ridge over and that morning my hunting partner glassed him up. We radioed the guy and I watched this buck for 2 hours and waited for this hunter who was looking for him to show up! Sadly the dude missed at 400 yards ( he got excited). But good karma always pans out in the hunting world. His spotter was up real high and in favor he glassed up bucks left and right to put us on for helping them out. But I was able to land this nice buck at 460 yard. He isn't the biggest but what we were only really seeing out there was this size, biggest Coues I ever shot though . Couple of other hunters passed up on some 95 inch and another one was looking for 110" buck that they glassed up but couldn't find him. All in all we had a blast and can't imagine what the rut down there is really like. 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
