on a lighter note...

When I was hunting in Sonora Mexico, (a drug running and pass-through area for illegals coming to the US.) we would have to use the cattle farm gates. By day 2, I was opening and closing the barbed wire gates to allow the guide to drive through. One spot had a fire "pit" and a bunch of garbage nearby. An overnight spot for the illegals. Day 3 a plastic bag showed up sitting on top of the ashes. My guide said, "Jeff go see what's in that bag." My response, "F YOU You go see! It's probably a head!" The morning of day 5 the bag was gone...

I have a co-worker that was born in Monterrey. When I came back from that trip and told him where I was, his response was... "You got a F'king death wish!? I 'm Mexican and I won't go to that part of Mexico!" Yeah, not my best idea...
I grew up between Tucson and Nogales, and yeah I’m always shocked when people book those trips. I’ve known too many people who had family or themselves have a run in with the Cartels to ever go back into Sonora. Hell, I’ve had several run ins with “coyotes” on this side of the border.

You were smart to leave the bag alone.

My kids always left Santa beer + chips and salsa. Totally not kidding. I told my kids that Santa needed a break from all the sweets and milk.

We did the same thing, with out the salsa. But my boys always called beer, "root beer." Sometimes it was Wild Turkey. The boys had a little cup for Santa, bout the size of a triple shot. Great memories.

I think the guide was just seeing if I would have done it.... Saw Cartel activity, saw illegals, got chased by a truck, and got stopped and searched by a Humvee full of heavily armed Federales... I flew into Tucson. We crossed in Sasabe. Never again.

Sounds about like what we hear out of Burkina Faso. I don’t need to do any hunt that bad!

Had an unwelcome visit from Bill the other day looking for money. You know that guy Bill---electric bill, gas bill, phone bill.

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
