They are just neocons. Ignore them. They are entitled to an opinion, no matter how stupid. It's not worth the time.

Buy quail in Guadaloupe. Cheaper, results guaranteed and a lot safer.

Unless he's Mexican and belongs to a Hunting Club, fugeddaboutit. If he just wants to go hunting, it's much simpler and probably cheaper to work with
an outfitter who will supply the permit and the shotgun.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

You can bring guns into Mexico if you are willing to fill out a permit and pay the fees. I did a search on Google and found a few outfitters who have
the applications on their websites. I not sure if this is just for their companies or if you can use them. It looks like it's between $200.00-$300.00
per gun. Hope this helps. Good Hunting.

SEMARNAP hunting permits come in six types:
Type I-Waterfowl, Type II-Doves, Type III-other birds, Type IV-mammals, Type V-limited, Type VI-special.
Permits are issued from a Government Licensed Dealer in Mexico.
In addition to the SEMARNAP hunting permit, foreign hunters need a consulate certificate, special visa, and military gun permit. The consulate
certificate may be obtained from any Mexican embassy or consulate upon presentation of a letter from the hunter's local police or sheriff's office (on
original police letterhead) verifying that the hunter has no criminal record. This certificate is also necessary for obtaining the military gun
permits, which is issued by the army garrison in the major border town in the Mexican State in which you are going to hunt.
Proof of U.S. Citizenship is required. This document, must have your picture on it (i.e. Passport) if not, your voter's registration card accompanied
by a photocopy of your Drivers License will suffice. Additionally, 8 passport size pictures are usually required with each gun permit and hunting
license issued and the final number of pictures depends on the State you are hunting. Finally, a new regulation requires that all foreign hunters be
accompanied by a licensed Mexican hunting guide. Your Hunting License agent can advise you on this requirement. Hunting License Cost is approx. $450
U.S. and includes Gun Permit.
The whole process of obtaining, on your own, the required permits and license is very time consuming, frustrating and discouraging for the average
U.S. hunter. Even if you speak perfect Spanish, your better off arranging the license and permits through a U.S. broker or a licensed Mexican
Outfitter, which specializes in the State that you are hunting. This assures you that a qualified agent is looking out for your interest, and that the
job will be done in a manner which is acceptable to the State Agency for which you are hunting. A list of Licensed Outfitters can be requested from
any Mexican Consulate in the State you are going to hunt.
Last and most important piece of advice, is to check out the references for the people that you plan to use. Use "common sense" questions when
interviewing past clients of the lodge or outfit. Don't take anything for granted, ask the most basic questions you can think of.
