Things have changed, as everywhere. Hunting near irrigated farms or vineyards has been pretty good. BUT It is still Mexico, and it pays to know what the rules are. I had no problems with anyone, with the proper paperwork. In fact,some of the the Soldados were pretty helpful in telling me where they had seen quail on their drug patrols. At home, in Mulege, I had a local Ranchero trap enough for supper, on order...Lazy mans way. The section from Tecate to Ensenada is pretty promising. Permission from the Vineyard managers should be forthcoming. And along the "new" toll road east from Tecate to Mexicali also has promise. Lemme know how you make out....I used a 20 Baker that I bought down there.. still there I bet..
