Really easy. About 2 months prior outfitter had asked for all info on gun, scope and ammo. Couple of weeks before arrival we received the permit and just had to confirm all numbers were good.

Getting through customs actually took a while because there were like 6 guys ahead of me but once it was my turn, was really easy. Customs officer and soldier opened up the case, confirmed make, model, serial # on rifle and scope then checked the bullets and we were good. Zero issues. The guys that had a bunch of optics like spotting scopes and stuff had a way more thorough check going in and out.

That's great, because of all the horror stories you hear about Mexico. I'm guessing it was a hunting trip only, and no touring around afterwards. I normally like to tour around, and therefore my rifle becomes a nuisance.

Yea definitely not something I would do in Mexico with a rifle. I wouldn’t even really want to check into a hotel with it even though Hermosillo is probably very accustomed to with hunters. We just went airport to ranch and back when we left.

Just like anywhere, if you go looking for trouble or don’t follow the rules, you’ll get into trouble. Of course there’s always the chance of wrong place wrong time, but that can happen anywhere even in the good ol US of A. Plus, I would say to anyone looking into going to Sonora to go hunting, be 100% of your outfitter. Lots of stories of guys selling hunts online as outfitters and poaching on properties, even cutting fences to get into ranches and even “outfitters” not showing up the airports and leaving hunters SOL.
