Have I gone insane?!?!

How crazy am I to be considering a hunt in Sonora this January? With COVID what do you think the odds are the hunts will take place? Bonus question: anyone hunt with SDO Sonora Desert Outfitters?

See Imperial County virus cases next to the border

I wouldn't think You would have any Problem. Have at It

My son & I have been booked since last year and will go if legally permitted. Mexico might open up before Canada. Both countries could surely use the influx of tourism dollars.

You're crazy to go to Mexico, but not because of COVID. But that is the fun side of the wall.

That was what I was thinking. I have an outfitter in Alberta that has a spot for me but he thinks the odds of the border being open in November (due to an increase during cold and flu season) is not great.

Mexico Border Has Never Been Closed. Some talk going on Down there Now about a temporary Closing But, Has Only been Talk So far

wildfin · Jul 9, 2020

there is a big sign on the 5 freeway to tj that says restricted access across boarder that has been there for months, I don't know who is restricted.

Border between Mexico and texas have never closed to US citizens. I have crossed with ease the last few months when all media said the border in closed. Check into it personally to find out if the border in truly closed in your area

There's not much difference between the countries at the moment. Pretty sad

Safe trip and good luck

I will be flying in so it will be more up to the airlines, customs, etc. Hopefully by January most of this virus garbage is in the rear view mirror for the entire world.

Border in Ca/Mex is open and has never closed. My daughter and grandkids go down there every 2 weeks or so to visit her husband. Don't ask....

The border in AZ has closed but am not sure if it still is.

Sonoran Desert Outfitters has a good rep.
Sonoran Outfitters are a no-go. (Todd Rice is a crook)

Keep your ear to the ground if borders open up thing is they could re-close with you stuck on the other side.

Ummm. The Mexican border hasn’t closed.... and no way on this earth being a US citizen would they not let you cross back to your home country.
Go hunt! I cross the border often with zero issues. Even during this Covid-BS

I have been watching your dad's operation and now yours. You guys are definitely first class and hopefully I can hunt with you someday! Good luck on this fall's hunts!

Derick Lopez Outfitter · Sep 17, 2020

Thank you very much sir. You're comments are greatly appreciated. Hopefully one day we meet, I would love to help you shoot a big one. I will post some pictures when my first hunters arrive, hopefully you will all like them.
