One of my cousins lives in El Centro, about 12 miles from the border at Mexicali, speaks fluent Spanish, knows a few guides in Mexico, and hunted there for years (like 40 years). He doesn't go any more because of the hassle at the border crossing, the registration of the guns, the federales counting of the shells you bring in and the possibility that they will tear off your truck's door panels to make sure you are not bringing in more shells than you are allowed. Then there's the auto insurance, the mandatory use of a licensed guide, the graft, etc. Then there's the new border war being prosecuted by the drug cartels. All in all, just not worth it. Mexico had a cash cow with American hunters until about ten years ago, and then they got greedy. Screw 'em.
