I'm not much different than most outdoors men. We need our fix or we go nuts. It's an addiction. There is no cure and the only helpful treatment is to just get out there and touch it, feel it, live it. So what is "IT"? Adventure, the thinking, planning, practice, stalking, watching, waiting, searching, running, crawling, cooking, laughing, missing and connecting. As I think of past trips and look forward to future ones I get the same sense of joy. From past trips the joy of hard struggles conquered, lessons learned and successes enjoyed. From the thoughts of future trips the anticipation of great adventures, trying new tricks, learning from past mistakes and from knowledge learned from others
About this time of year I usually head to Mexico to get my winter fix. I have to admit I've had the twitch this past week and really miss the trip south. My only release has been to remember and relive the great hunts of the past few years. Memories recalled by looking at photos and the beautiful mounts on the wall. After looking at a series of pictures I can remember the very second they were taken and say "Wow that was so Cool" to be involved with an adventure such as hunting the shadow of the desert they call the coues. Some hunts are only made possible through a combined group effort and others miraculously come to pass completely solo.
I'm so glad I was convinced to venture south and learn more about coues deer. It truly has made me a better hunter and things I learned have been used in many different areas.
It really is possible to escape for a week, about the time you are ready to bang you head off the wall, and have the adventure of a life time. You may even bring back a little table fare, a photo or two and quite possibly that wall hanger you have seen haunting your dreams LIKE A GHOST

December, January and February present most hunters few options to feed their hunger for adventure. It is during this time of year that the adventure of a life time awaits you, South of the border.
The gray Ghosts of Sonora Mexico can be as challenging to hunt as any animal on the planet.
