Anyone care to share their experience, pictures, advice, what to expect?
Looks like historically January temps range from upper 20's to low 50's.
Thanks!
Two years ago, I was successful on Jan 24 in that area and then traveled 150 miles south of Nogales Mexico the following week and was successful on a private range.
If you check Bowsite last Feb or March 2014, I posted a story that included both hunts. I believe the title of the thread was, Coues, North and South.
Yea, the temp are about right for that area. THe last time I was down there, for three day the temps were, low 9 degrees and high of 39 drgrees for four days. Then it want up to mid to high 70s. Farther east of Douglas AZ, at 5500 ft. I have been snowed out twice.
My largest buck from AZ.
A great time to be out chasing WTs.

Customs ( went through Nogalas) checked our gear and wanted to know where we were going. We had the private ranch documentation and hunting permits to show our final destination. Took 10 minutes.
Bring back deer meat is ok. If you transport any hide, cape, skull it has to be properly prepaired.
The hide and or cape needs to be frozen 24 horns prior to crossing through custions and the final stop will then be with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The hide or cape then needs to be partly thawed as they will inspect, run a fine comb through the hide/hair for desease bearing "critters".
The skull needs to be totally void of any meat, etc. Just like you might make a Euro skull mount. I did this to both of our deer the evening we left the ranch and we frozed the hide in a small portable freezer. USFW Service, 15 minutes.
If this is a guided hunt. I am sure the guide should know of this.
Mexico Coues buck.
Have Fun.
Correction. My story of the two bucks was posted Feb or March 2013.
The no firearm is critical and if you are driving over, make sure not even a shotgun shell or rifle/hand gun bullet is on board.
If you have any questions, I PMed you my home phone #

My dad and brother were both entomologists so that stung....
Yea, I forgot about the truck wash.
Also, one needs Mexician Auto Insurance that can be purchased at the border towns.
You will need Mexican money for many items including gas. There are exchange office in some towns.
