Great buck, I would love to be able to go down there someday.

Congrats on a great deer. Do you go down there yearly or was this your first trip?

Thanks for posting the pic.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. That was my first trip down there....been wanting to for 10 years. I hunted with Rich LaRocco @ hunts.net. Can't say enough good things about him. I would love to post another picture or two but don't really know how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

That is one good looking deer. Bien Hecho. If my dreams ever come true I will hunt Sonora one day.

Physically is was one of the easier hunts I've been on. I didn't have to tradk the deer through the desert. High rack vehicles are probably the best way (as I did). This particular ranch was very flat, with nothing to get elevation to glass. There was a vast variety of brush and numerous trees which makes seeing them very difficult. The Mexican guides are unbelievable at seeing deer. Weather was absolutely perfect. Odds are I won't ever get a shot at a deer like this again, I would love to go back and try. It gets in your blood for sure, knowing there are some giant deer in that area.
