Rio Sonora Outfitters welcomes you to the world of Trophy Coues Whitetail, Desert Mule Deer and Gould's Turkey Hunting in Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico.  We feel there is no other place in the world like Mexico to pursue a trophy quality deer or a longbeard Gould’s Turkey.

The deer were in great physical condition this year and the antler growth improved overall from the past season. If we finish off the spring on a wet note and the monsoons produce again this year, I expect to see large antlers on the desert again for 2009/10.
 

RSO stepped the season up a bit with a couple of new ranches, along with some new faces in camp. All I can say is we all made some great new friends once again, and met some incredible Trophy Hunters!  The season was a little slow however, as I personally saw one good day of rut. High pressure moved into the southwest desert for the majority of January along with dry conditions through the majority of the rut. After a lot of visine and sunscreen, our guys did very well, taking 7 bucks grossing 110” or better for the season! I want to again, thank my team of guides for their diligence and accomplishments this season, great results for a great team!!! And for the hunters, I can’t thank you enough and we are looking forward to the next season!

Please visit the Ranches, Antlers, Outfitters and Guides Page to view a couple new great ranches in store for our 2009/2010 clients. These two ranches comprise 63,000 acres of virgin whitetail habitat with very good deer denisities and genetics! I am confident with the addition of these ranches, this completes the best hunting opportunity RSO’s has ever had to offer to clients!

Rio Sonora Outfitters “Coues Whitetail of the Year” 2008/09


2008/09

2008/09
Jack Johnson from Sierra Vista, AZ made his second trip to Mexico in pursuit of his addiction, Coues Whitetail !  In two days Jack took two great bucks with the help of Martin Guerena (AKA “Booker G”). The first day out, Jack took the 107-4/8” 3x3, and the second day, in the field, his wildest dream was answered with a 127-3/8” heavy buck. Jack took this old busier of a buck at 350 yards with his .300 RUM. Congratulations Jack, for a truly great buck!

Jack Johnson’s
2009
Coues Buck, 107-4/8”
Rio Sonora Outfitters “Mule Deer of the Year” 2008/09

This typical buck was taken in the low desert of Sonora, Mexico. The gross score was 198-6/8” and the net was 193”+, not bad for having a tine broke. This buck would have scored over 204” intact!  Congratulations Lyle, what a great buck!

Kevin's 2008 Coues Whitetail – 121 6/8”
Kevin Kearney for the third year straight took another Great Buck. Kevin glassed this buck up a looong way off, mid-morning, and when I got my first look, I immediately recognized him. I had seen this buck a mile away three years ago, so I was pleasantly surprised, I knew he was a great buck! We made quick work getting set up and Kevin claimed him quickly after a shot from his .300WSM at 475 yards!

Below is Kevin's amazing buck from 2006/07 (left). 
This buck will never be forgotten. Check out the story on Kevin's Non-Typical" page.

(Above) Kyle Welker from Sugarland, Texas with his first Coues Whitetail and RSO's "2008 Buck of the Year". This 10+ year old non-typical buck carries great mass, drop-tines and grosses 119-7/8". 
     Congratulation to you Kyle!

Our hunters finished strong once again with over 100% success for the season, making it the fourth season straight all of our hunters went home with at least one bird each! During this time two birds established World Record status for muzzeloader and archery Non-Typical. We not only have great bird desities, but also great genetics and BIG BIRDS on our ranches! Come and join us on a hunt and be part of our continued success in the Sierra Madres of Chihuahua!

I want to extend another "Thank You" to all the guides and the great group of hunters we had again this past season.  We are already looking forward to next season!

"We leave the bucks and the birds for you", and after you've looked over our website, we're sure you'll agree.

- Keep your eyes sharp, and good luck on the Hill -


(Above) The 2008 RSO "Bird of the Year" was taken by Doug Spencer, a dedicated archery hunter from Loveland, Colorado. This is not just any old turkey, Doug’s bird is the World Record, Non-Typical Archery Gould’s overall NWTF score 

Doug and his hunting partner, Dan Lee, from Haugton, LA was in the Double Bull blind for only a few minutes on the first evening on the ranch when Doug planted this bird, and 30 minutes later Dan connected on his bird in the same spot!  What a hunt guys, and congratulations on your accomplishments!

(Above) Richard Tharp of "Stepping Outdoors". Bird of the Year, and RSO’s first bird to make World Record status. Richard took this bird with a Knight muzzeloader on our La Mesa Ranch. It sports three beards.

Thanks Richard and congratulations!

RSO understands that some hunters may be concerned or uncomfortable entering and traveling in Mexico. This is a valid concern and one RSO takes seriously and addresses openly with each client. Your personal safety is our primary concern. RSO has a good relationship with our neighbors to the south and has developed friendships over the years, as a result of honest business and opportunities provided to our ranch partners.  Our trips are organized and conducted in a way to provide safety for our clients as well as us, the Outfitters and guides. If personal safety was in question, it would be addressed, and at no time would we put anyone at risk when conducting a hunt. The truth is, you can find trouble anywhere you look no matter what country you are in, we recognize that and eliminate those potential dangers in order to provide a safe, comfortable experience in Mexico. We want to have fun and of course we want you to have a great time with us, our clients can attest to that, please review the references page.

RSO will disclose all information about the trip and answer any questions you may have about travel into Mexico and specifics of our hunts. We have included photographs of our camps, landscapes, our guides, and hunting photos in order to give everyone insight into our hunts and what the country looks like in order to better prepare you for our hunt. Hopefully this will help answer the unknowns about our trips into the vast Sierra Madre's of Mexico!
