Sonora Mule Deer Hunt

FishlakeElkHunter · Jan 26, 2016

Just got back from an AMAZING adventure in Sonora. I have dreamed about going down there for years to hunt big bucks. Finally 4 of us decided that it was time to go. We went 4 for 4 on nice Desert Mule Deer. I don't have time to write a bunch right now, but I will let you see some pictures. They tell 1000 words anyway.

Congrats on some nice bucks!

Got to be honest though, I thought the truck was way cool!

how much does a sonoran deer hunt typically cost?

Zeke · Jan 26, 2016

Damn fine FLEH!
I suspect 4 for 4 on great bucks isn't the norm even for Sonora Mexico.
You're nice to share your success.

Good work, looks like fun.

FishlakeElkHunter · Jan 27, 2016

Thanks everyone! It was an incredible hunt. Going 4 for 4 was not easy and we got the last buck on the last night with 1 hour of light left. It is tough hunting and not easy by any means.

To answer a few of the questions...

We didn't really officially score any of the deer, but the widest one was the 3x4 and he is 31" wide. The other 3 are all over 175" with my buck being right around 187" His bases are 7 1/2" around.

Typical cost for a Sonora hunt is around $10K

HOOK 'EM!

Congratulations on great deer.

Now tell us about that truck. Anybody know what year it is.

Trix4me · Jan 30, 2016

looks like 1960 to me

WVHUNTER · Jan 30, 2016

Trix4me, you may be correct. I thought it was a late 50's or early 60's. But I think that arrow emblem on the side means it's a 1960. (But I'm not an expert on this)

If you hunt in Mexico you get to hunt out of a 55 year old antique truck. I wonder if they let you drive it.

PointHunter · Jan 30, 2016

Looks like a ton of fun. I have always wanted to go myself. Hopefully some day. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

FishlakeElkHunter · Jan 31, 2016

You guys know your trucks.

It was a 1960 Ford. But it had a new Fuel Injected GM engine it. It also had all the suspension rebuilt. It was a fun truck to ride around in. They also had a few Toyotas and an old Chevy.

Great experience for anyone. If you have been wanting to do it and is hesitating. Don't!!!

Nice job for 4 nice big bucks.Way to go. I may be jealous.

CAelknuts · Feb 1, 2016

IDK, FLEH, those G-2's seem relatively short. I'd have probably passed him up! ;-)
