I think that although the territory for hunting is rather limited in Baja -- compared to fishing -- it still is an activity sought by visitors to the peninsula. Although the game sought is different, the two activities are essentially the same activity -- but with different tools.

If you're still adamant about it, I'll take it under advisement.

Let me know.

Without a doubt, fishing is what jump-started the development of Baja, and fishing is what jump-started Baja bulletin board activity online.

As you mention, there's very little interest in hunting... probably not enough to warrant it's own forum. Since fishing is hunting fish, and hunters also tend to be fisherman, I thought it appropriate to combine the two.

You still disagree, though? Is it offensive to have other hunting information in a forum with much interest in fishing in particular?

I'm interested in your thoughts/perspective.

Thanks,

great hunting

There is awsome bird hunting in southern baja during the winter months. When the wind makes fishing impossible the hunting takes up the slack nicely. fishin rich

in baja ever since i first heard about it in 1980 around san quintin. only thing is there's no guides running trips these days, plus the whole permit process to take a gun into mex. is wacko, don't even try it.

but, if anyone knows how to hook up with some goose hunting in SQ, e me!

Hunting in Baja

Ski Baja - 9-15-2003 at 08:36 PM

Remember the posts about the Sea of Cortez being fished out ? Not exactly true but a lot less fish than 10 or 20 years ago according to some.
If American hunters start coming to Baja and shooting everything it won't take long at all before this miniscule peninsula(relatively speaking) is depleted of more of it's natural resources. Which is what most of us love about it isn't it. The scenery and diversity of wildlife both on land and sea.
Let's save this place for photography unless you are starving and can't live without some Mexican bird for dinner. When you are here.
And as Mike said, it's a 3 day pain in the --- to get licenses. Stick with the U.S. game, it's probably better fed anyway.

not that bad

Hunting licenses in mexico are NOT hard to get. I walked into a sporting goods store in los mochis and purchased mine over the counter and since they are good for life all I do now is get the appropiate stamps for the game I am doing to be hunting. I get my rabbit, dove and quail stamps in la paz and my duck stamps in los mochis every year. Shotgun and 22shells are sold over the counter in la paz and at numerous sporting goods stores over on the main land. All you have to do is register your guns with the military and obtain a transportation permit. Heck the state of california is getting as bad if not worse than mexico. fishin rich

The Future of Hunting

Packoderm - 9-17-2003 at 12:39 AM

I know this might sound a little futuristic, so please bear with me. State-licensed hunting expedition companies could take customers out on mountain-sheep hunts, for example, that use cameras shaped like guns. The more expensive these gun/cameras are, the better. Remember, this is a big-boy?s sport. These gun/cameras would have internal computerized sensors that determine the specifications of each shot. (There would be a limited number of shots) After the safari, the hunters can submit their film cartridges to a licensed developer where pertinent information, such as the ram?s physical data and shot distance, would be included on the prints. (Prints can be large and suitable for framing.) The prints would contain a pressed seal much like what is on our souvenir birth certificates. A small photo of the hunter could also be superimposed in the corner of the print, providing he took a picture of himself or had somebody take a picture of him with his camera/gun. The owner of the print would then have bragging rights to having excellent hunting abilities. After the safari, the hunters could be treated to expertly prepared mutton. There, they can tell tall tales as they feast.


The best of vacations.

With this method, there would be so much time saved in not having to retrieve the game in this harsh baja environment, you would have time to go see some islands and maybe even catch one or two fish. This is a good idea and saves yall time and MONEY! No hunting Baja wildlife unless it's in Tijuana !
