We don't need that kind of racist attitude here. Attitudes like that give the human race a bad name.

I was just lamenting the other day that I no longer feel that Unit 36C (just north of Sasabe) is safe to hunt in. Due primarily to the influx of illegals. Too bad as it was just an exquisite whitetail area.

It's legal to have a gun in camp but it's illegal to have a gun on you in the field even with a CCW. They need to change that as I don't like being a criminal but not gonna' hunt without the ability to defend myself. Too many whackos creeping around and people being shot or cut up while camping. I would rather explain myself than be a victim.

I am surprised your freinds weren't killed on the spot.

The weekend of the hunt, we had a small plane fly real low over our camp and land just out of site (there are not airports in the area and it had no numbers on the side of the plane). Took off about 30 minutes later and was gone. Needless to say we didn't hunt that area of the unit that day.
It's a shame when you don't only have to watch for mountain lions and rattle snakes, but drug smugglers that will kill you much quicker then any wild animal.

A friend of mine lives near Nogales, he was telling me about vigilantes that go out and snipe illegals and drug smugglers. Kinda messed up but hey the border patrol should be doing their jobs better.

What in the world is going on here? Why don't the local authorities do something about this?
Maybe the citizens should take things into their own hands. Give these drug runners something to think about. Get you land back to being safe for everyone.
A group of 4 or 5 hunters with scoped centerfire rifles is no match for several idiots with AKs at oh lets say 250 yds.
You could at least disable the plane and vehicles and then notify the authorities.

That area has the real true dangerous game. Some folks love the added danger. Not me though. Sounds like its time for the city fathers to do a little house cleaning. All accross that area you can forget the government doing anything to protect honest folks. They will however protect the smugglers.
