Hunting in Mexico

Desert Bighorn Sheep & Mule Deer

Imagine a high desert ranch that is the habitat of the heavy antlered desert mule deer; the agile and beautiful coues white-tailed deer; the sharp-tusked javelin; the bobcat and the magnificent desert bighorn sheep that at this ranch roams within the boundaries of an ad-hoc 1,100-acre high-fenced enclosure. The property is a 48,000-acre ranch that has been managed as a cow/calf operation since 1940. It is family owned land that has been improved with buffel grass and excellent water distribution. This ranch is 60 miles from an international airport and has a ¾-mile long dirt runway onsite. Accommodations are available on a double-occupancy basis and the enjoyment generated by the warmth and genuine hospitality of owners, management and staff, will no doubt make our guests feel right at home. Our hunting guides who are recognized in the community for their reputations as true professionals, share the operation's sheep, mule and coues deer hunting success, which has been at an average of 95% during the course of several years, with a third largest mule deer, registered in Boone and Crocker.

Desert Bighorn Sheep and Mule Deer hunts will be available for a very limited number of hunters during the upcoming December/January season which, by the way, has not yet been officially announced. Obviously, we regret that this is an experience only a select few might be able to enjoy because it is subject to the availability of hunting tags as determined by the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources of the federal government. However, it could very well be your turn this time, so treat yourself to the professionalism and luxury you've always enjoyed. We'll be ready whenever you are for The Ultimate Hunting Experience: a six-day Sheep or Deer hunt with a "one-on-one," English-speaking guide. And for lodging, you can bask in the comforts of luxurious accommodations. This beautiful property is stocked with top shelf amenities such as a game room with a pool table and satellite TV; Wireless Internet, phone service, a fully stocked bar, a great swimming pool and tennis court, plus beautiful botanical gardens. And at the end of the day, in unmatched comfort and a stimulating margarita on hand, you'll be on the terrace of this magnificent residence, relaxing in a world of your own and watching the sun go down on the enchanting Mexican desert. When you are here you're family!

Epigraph

We must acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all its noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his godlike intellect which has penetrated into the movements of the solar system, with all these exalted powers, man still bears in his body frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origins.

- Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man

By December 31, 2007, all U.S. citizens traveling to or from Mexico by air, land and sea will be required to show a valid passport or other accepted secured document in order to enter or re-enter the United States. This means that travelers who now use a certified birth certificate as proof of citizenship will need to obtain a passport. The new policy is designed to thwart terrorists from exploiting the relative ease of travel in North America.


 

 
The Legend Continues…
"I had always heard about the Mexican dove hunts but figured that the stories were the typical exaggerations of my fellow hunters. Boy, was I off the track! I knew I had found dove hunting paradise when I asked my guide why the ground was moving out in the fields, and moments later the ground took to the air in the form of five thousand dove, and that was just the first wave of dozens to come. The most difficult part of the hunt was trying to pick a single bird to take out from a flock of hundreds!" White-wings will never disappoint you in the Los Mochis area when you are hunting with a premier guide like Raul, the son of Alfredo Dominguez, a world-class guide who assiduously taught young Raul how to hunt doves, and the importance of customer service. Alfredo was an honorable man who knew how to behave and how to die, and occasionally would say: "Ethics define what you do; morals define who you are." Raul now runs "La Torcaza Club" and offers all-inclusive dove packages that are reasonably priced. His service is outstanding so it behooves you to call Rolando and ask for a quote.

Chasing Roosters
The ring-necked pheasant is a native of China. The bird was introduced into Europe soon after Marco Polo’s travels to Asia, and more recently it has been successfully acclimatized in North America and New Zealand. In North America the pheasant has thrived best in the central grain belt, but throughout the West some thrifty local populations have developed in irrigated valleys. Such a colony was created in the Mexicali Valley by private introduction of stock from China, beginning in 1922. Soon afterward, in 1926, some birds were liberated in the adjoining Imperial Valley. Today these two valleys, which together comprise an important farming center of 800,000 acres, support a pheasant population of modest density. Because of less intensive farming methods, the habitat is better in the Mexicali Valley. If you appreciate the most exciting things in life, we enthusiastically recommend this wonderful hunting experience.


Hunting in Baja California
We are fully prepared for the 2007-2008 season in the state of Baja California, Mexico, and wish to thank you for the opportunity to process on your behalf the documents you need to hunt there with your own shotguns. We have enclosed our General Declaration form; regular and new customers are kindly asked to please fill out this form fully and accurately. If you have friends who would like to try our service, please provide names and addresses. Also, please submit the following material: copy of the issue page of your valid passport OR copy of your birth certificate as well as a copy of your driver license. The Mexicali Valley just south of the border at Calexico, CA, has some of the world’s most prolific populations of mourning dove, and the agricultural areas surrounding Mexicali also support strong populations of wild pheasant and Gambel quail. On a typical day you can expect to see 15 or 20 coveys of quail and 200 or more pheasants. Due to the variety of opportunities to take multiple species of game birds, we are offering the following suggested packages but we’ll be happy to tailor a package in accordance with your personal preference. If possible, please remit a check for $595.00 to cover Package #2 for dove, quail and pheasant. It will save us a lot of work and we ask you to please support us on this. Package #2 Mourning dove only is $ 385.00; Pheasant tag $ 125.00 and Gambel tag $ 85.00. The total for the three species is: $ 595.00. Package #3 California quail is $395.00.

"Patolandia," Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico
Mr. Salomon has transferred ownership and management of PT Hunting Club in Los Mochis to his son Gilberto Salomon-Sainz, owner of Patolandia/Culiacan. The new operation is known as Patolandia/Los Mochis. You will be very pleased to experience the same excellent duck hunting that clients have come to expect from Gilberto, who has a life-long experience hunting waterfowl in the state of Sinaloa. He is so good and well organized that other well-known operators in the Los Mochis area outsource to him the guiding services when they simply must have successful duck hunts for their clients. In the opening paragraph of an article about a duck hunt in Los Mochis, the distinguished writer and hunter, Tim Herald, unequivocally reveals: "I have been fortunate in the fact that I have had opportunities to hunt a lot of different places over the years, mostly ducks and turkeys. But the two trips that have been on the top of my list for a good while have been a late-season duck hunt in Mexico and a turkey hunt in New Zealand. When 2004 ends, both of these hunts will have become realities for me, and I must admit that my Mexican waterfowl experience lived up to my expectations. My fantasies about hunting Mexico had always centered around the famous Laguna Madre on the East Coast. As I researched duck hunting south of the border in more recent years, I learned that although there is still good duck hunting in eastern Mexico, the most consistent shooting is now found along the Pacific Coast." Please call Rolando for additional information about this premier area.

Wildlife (Wildlife Advisory Services) and MAS (Mexico Advisory Services) have gone unabashedly high-tech. After decades of exclusively relying on telephones, U. S. mail and memory typewriters, our business has finally gone high-tech. When processed, all the documents you will receive from us by Express Mail are computer-generated and the product of very expensive software. If you log on www.mexicoadvisoryservices.com, and look at the tool bar, all the information you need is only one, two, three (or four, max) clicks away. If, for instance, you want to hunt Mourning Dove, Wild Pheasant and Gambel Quail in the Mexicali Valley, the price of this package is $595.00 and it includes the following documents. a) A prepaid Tourist Card; b) One prepaid Hunting Service Agreement from a bona fide outfitter; c) Three prepaid Hunting Tags, and, d) One prepaid Military Gun Permit. Package #3 for California quail is $395.00 but if you buy these packages together, you may deduct $50.00, which is the cost of the Gun Permit that is already included in Package #2. These are our two Basic Packages. If on the other hand, you also have plans to hunt Duck or Dove in the states of Sonora or Sinaloa, we can also process on your behalf a Gun Permit that would include two states, that is Baja California and Sonora or Baja California and Sinaloa. Or, we can tailor a hunting package for you in accordance with your preference. Just tell us what you need or ask whatever questions you have in mind. We are heavily into this Customer Service mode that won't quit, so let us dazzle you with our service.
