Word of caution (first hand) about hunting Mexico now

Sad, because my niece wants to have a destination wedding near Cancun next year...
 
I have heard multiple stories about hunts being cut short recently because cartels had to take over the ranch.
Unless trump takes over Mexico, i ain’t going there. But if he needs help, I’m in.

Sounds like lots of stories... Everyone I know enjoys Mexico every year including my self.

What outfitter do you go with? I’m willing to go but want to be 100% confident in my outfitter and know multiple people with multiple trips with them. Thats where I’m running into issues. Getting that confidence.

Mexico City, San Miguel, and small mountain towns.

My apologies.
Having re-read your posts I've realized that you are right...and every other member, who shared their experiences, were wrong.
Obviously, they were nothing more than stories, fabricated for your perusal and validation.
I'll make you a deal.
If you'll promise to never again comment on a thread of mine, I will afford you the same courtesy.
Deal?

By his own admission..."never hunted" in Mexico. Yet bloviates and proffers his
" expert opinion"...on hunting in Mexico.
This is not a difficult calculus.

She should consider Victoria, B.C. Beautiful in the summer. It lies in a rain shadow and receives a fraction of the rain that falls on Seattle or Tacoma.
