Mexico Whitetails: a Hidden Gem

Matthew Gindorff
|  
Location: Mexico

Mexico isn’t usually at the top of the list for prime whitetail destinations, but It should be.

Just across the border from Laredo, Texas, this WTA-exclusive hunt is one of the best values you’re going to find for whitetail hunting. With world-class deer management, outstanding accommodations, and easy travel, this is a great way to extend your season and pursue big bucks during the rut in a stunning setting.

Why Mexico?

Many hunters shy away from traveling to Mexico due to safety concerns, but with the right outfitter, you have nothing to worry about. Our Mexican outfit operates just five minutes from the border, meaning eliminating the need for a long drive through unfamiliar areas. Simply cross the bridge, turn left, and you’re on the ranch. No hassle. No stress. Just great hunting.

The quality of whitetail deer here is exceptional. Unlike the smaller-bodied Coues deer found in other parts of Mexico, the bucks in this region are true South Texas giants. Mature deer typically  range from 135–155, with a few breaking the 160 mark every few years. What sets this outfitter apart is their commitment to age-class management. Younger bucks, even those scoring well, are off-limits to ensure future trophy potential.

A Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Unlike many operations in Mexico that prioritize volume over quality, this outfitter keeps things small and exclusive. The result? Minimal hunting pressure, well-managed deer, and a personalized, unrushed experience.

These guides are true professionals, laser-focused on managing for mature bucks. If a deer is 3 ½ years old and 140 inches, it won’t be shot—these guys are dedicated to lettings bucks reach their full potential. This focus on conservation and management ensures that you’ll have a legitimate shot at harvesting an incredible whitetail.

An Easy and Comfortable Hunt

Getting to camp is easy. Fly into Laredo, spend the night at a hotel, and the outfitter picks you up the next morning and handles the border crossing. Within just a few minutes, you’ll be at the ranch, enjoying lunch and getting ready for the afternoon hunt.

The accommodations are excellent. You’ll stay in a comfortable lodge featuring an open-air dining area, a fire pit, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The staff is incredibly attentive, reaching out before your trip to ensure that every detail is tailored to your preferences.

Hunting Schedule and Season

This hunt runs during the prime whitetail rut months down south— beginning in mid-December and stretching through January. While the whitetail rut in the Midwest is often over in a blink, Mexico’s rut stretches over 30 to 35 days, giving you plenty of opportunity to witness incredible chasing and breeding behavior.

The schedule is simple and efficient:

  • Day 1: Fly into Laredo and stay overnight in a hotel.
  • Day 2: Cross the border in the morning, arrive at the ranch by 10:45 a.m., enjoy lunch, sight in rifles, and kick off the hunt in the afternoon.
  • Day 3 & 4: Full days spent in well-placed blinds with excellent shot opportunities.
  • Day 5: Morning hunt available if needed, then head back to Laredo for your return flight home.

Firearms and Additional Hunting Opportunities

Bringing a firearm into Mexico is straightforward, but requires at least 45 days of advance planning. If you’re booking last-minute or prefer to travel light, the outfitter provides high-quality rifles for your use.

In addition to whitetails, you can take advantage of opportunities for javelina, bobcats, and even free-range nilgai. Unlimited hogs and javelina are included in the management hunts, adding even more value to an already exceptional experience.

A True Hidden Gem

Many hunters return to this camp year after year, not just for the incredible whitetails, but for the overall experience. The outfitter is run by two highly professional, detail-oriented young men who have dedicated themselves to providing world-class service and trophy-class deer. They speak fluent English, meticulously plan every detail, and treat every guest like family. Their integrity and attention to detail sets them apart from many other Mexico operations.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable whitetail experience, don’t overlook this hunt. It’s affordable, easy to access, and focuses on providing a quality hunt. This place is a hidden gem—your chance to extend your whitetail season and take a shot at a South Texas giant.

Chasing Waterfowl from North to South

Chasing Waterfowl from North to South

The Central Flyway is a waterfowl superhighway—a vital corridor for migrating ducks and geese—and for those of us lucky enough to be waterfowlers, it offers unmatched opportunities to hunt and experience the migration from September through January.

Over the past 40 years, I’ve had the privilege of chasing ducks around the world, but many of my favorite memories come from following this flyway, especially during those early years when my duck-obsessed father would pull my brother and me out of school every Fall to chase birds.

That’s right! We missed school every year for dedicated waterfowl trips. No regrets.

In the true north country, along the edges of Canada’s boreal forest, early-season hunts are nothing short of magical. The birds are just beginning their journey south—hungry, unpressured, and eager to settle into newly harvested grain fields. It’s a waterfowler’s paradise. The decoy spreads in these northern zones are often among the first the birds see, and their eager, uneducated responses can be absolutely breathtaking.

One of the most unforgettable sights is the famed swirling cyclone of Canada geese funneling down into a field. I can still hear my dad yelling over the deafening honks, his voice barely audible, “They can’t hear us!” The birds were so loud that those at the top of the funnel couldn’t even hear the gunfire below. If you’ve ever experienced it, you know exactly the kind of spine-tingling moment I’m talking about.

When the birds pushed south, so did we.

The prairie pothole regions of North Dakota are pure waterfowl gold. The right pothole on a cold morning—especially if you can find open water—can be magic. And if the water’s frozen? My dad had a fix: get there early, break trail through the skim ice, and push it under itself to create an opening. Voilà…open water.

I’ll never forget one frigid morning. After breaking ice, my hands were bright red and on the edge of frostbite. I looked at my dad for sympathy, but he just grinned as the puddle ducks cupped up and said, “Do you want warm hands, or do you want to shoot ducks?” Like I said, he was a fanatic. I grabbed the old Winchester pump and did my best. That day, I also learned the value of hand warmers and Gore-Tex gloves.

There are so many unforgettable moments:

  • Slipping and sliding at a Nebraska reservoir, laughing hysterically as we wondered if we’d ever get the old Suburban and trailer back up the icy boat ramp. After limiting out on greenheads.
  • Rowing across the Delta Marsh in the dark to find the perfect crescent-shaped bulrush island to set the decoys that the canvasbacks couldn’t resist.
  • Chasing snow geese in South Dakota and realizing we’d finally picked the perfect field, the one that made it worth all those hours spent spray-painting sheet-metal shell decoys in the garage.

These weren’t just hunting trips. They were memories shared with family, with friends, and with the great outdoors itself.

In the end, missing a week of school every year was worth every single minute.

The last duck hunt I shared with my admittedly duck-crazy father was a world away and half a lifetime ago. The hunt may be long over, but the memory will always stay with me.

At WTA, we’re proud to connect our clients with trusted partners so they can experience these same one-of-a-kind adventures.

We offer incredible destinations and outstanding outfitters all along the Central Flyway—from Alberta and Saskatchewan to North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma—so you can create your own lasting memories.
