What to Expect....
Each year too many hunters show up in Mexico only to find they are just another number. They have booked with an outfitter who is to busy with too many hunters to take personal care of them.
Once in camp they find their guide has little experience, a broken down truck and poor optics! After a few days they realize that they have missed the rut, the ranch has been over hunted and their guide thinks every 24" 4x4 buck is "Grande"!
At Sonoran Outfitters " We give you our promise that this will not happen to you."
Accomodations: The ranches that we secure for our hunters are generally 1-2 hours outside of Hermosillo. We make sure that every ranch has a generator for power, kitchen for our chef to prepare wonderful meals, real beds to sleep in and working bathrooms that include a shower. Make no mistakes, this is far from tent camping. The houses are clean and very comfortable, but you won't find a swimming pool or gift shop.
Hunting: Hunting with Sonoran Outfitters is true western style hunting. We have high racks in all of our trucks so that hunters can see deer over the vegetation. The high racks are most critical for Mule Deer hunts. As Mule Deer areas are generally flat, the high rack provides a major advantage. Many of our biggest bucks have been taken by hunters out of a high rack.
Glassing is a very important element of hunts in the western U.S. and particularly in Mexico. We specifically select ranches to acquire based on the availability of excellent glassing hills and use only the best optics to find deer. From our hills, you can generally see many more deer than you would in a tree stand or walking through the desert.
We are unique in the fact the we employ only english speaking guides. We have learned through experience and client feedback that communication between hunter and guide is extremely important. While hunting with Sonoran Outfitters you will be able to converse with your guide while discussing a potential trophy, making stalk, or plans for the next day.
Trophy Quality and Deer Quantity: We make every effort to find our clients the highest scoring bucks possible. But we always start with setting a realistic goal, based on many factors including the hunters personal best buck to date and the type of antler growth year it has been. Sonora is known for low deer density, but also old age class and great genetics.
Ranches: The ranchers that we aquire are real working cattle ranches. The owners of the ranches agree to lease the property to us for the duration of the hunting season.
The terrain varies from ranch to ranch, but is not typical of what one thinks of when the phrase "desert hunting" comes to mind. The areas are full of mesquite, palo blancos, palo verde, cholla cactus and other desert vegetation. There is year round water to support the deer.
A few other things to know before you book:
1. Hunts are 6 full days ( additonal days can be arranged)
2. You will be responsible for the cost of a hotel when you arrive in Hermosillo and on your final night. Hotels are clean and comfortable and usually cost $90 for a nice room.
3. Going home with a trophy deer is not guaranteed. There are no high fences or other enclosures on our deer ranches.
4. 50% of the total cost of the hunt is due at booking. The remainder is due 45 days prior to the hunt.
5. Trophy fees ( when applicable) are due at the conclusion of the hunt and are payable in cash only.
Sonoran Outfitters Message To You: If your dream is to hunt world class desert Mule Deer or unique Coues Whitetail, make your way to Mexico. You will never see the quality of deer that you will find in Northen Mexico.
Best Wishes, and we hope to hear from you soon!
